Pioneer Offers More Power To You

PioneerPioneer Computers Australia has announced what it claims is the most powerful 15.6-inch i7 laptop on the market with its DreamBook Power W86 i7.

The claim seems justified. We’re talking i7 Quad Core goodness and an nVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M with 1GB GDDR3 Video RAM on board, and that’s just to whet your appetite. All we want to know is can it handle Crysis?
