Maingear presents Clutch, a new notebook series that includes a 13.3" and 15.6" model.
MAINGEAR, an award-winning PC system builder offering custom desktops, notebooks, workstations and media centers, has expanded its notebook line, catering to the diverse needs of on-the-go students, professionals, and other mobile users. With a 13.3” or 15.6” screen size and powerful Intel® Core i series mobile processors, these smaller and lighter notebooks offer the latest in portable productivity, multimedia and casual gaming performance.
The MAINGEAR Clutch-13 and Clutch-15 are equipped with Intel® Core i series mobile processors, up to 8GB of DDR3-1066 memory, a 512GB SSD HDD, along with an optional docking station that features extra connectivity such as VGA, DVI, RJ-45, audio out, USB 2.0 x 4 ports and optional optical disc drives including Blu-ray™. The MAINGEAR Clutch-15 not only offers a 15.6” screen that is thinner and lighter than average notebooks out in the market and featuring a full size keyboard with a numeric pad, it also features an additional choice of Intel® Core™ i7 mobile processor, and an Nvidia™ GeForce 330M for those who are looking to stay connected while enjoying high definition media but also want to get some work done in-between meetings or class.
Equipped with advanced hardware technology, these notebooks also offer operating system options to give users an extra edge with a full suite of the latest Intel enhanced software. The Clutch-13 and Clutch-15 integrates Intel’s Always Aware technology, which utilizes the system accelerometer to provide hard drive protection, system security and display control. Intel’s Anti-Theft technology is another added feature which provides a complete lockdown when the system has multiple failed login attempts or when reported lost or stolen, and Intel® My WiFi Technology converts your notebook into a Wi-Fi Personal Area Network quickly and easily. All of these enhanced features keep users connected, secure and efficient.
These trim and modern profile notebooks are designed and styled in a way that sets them apart from the crowd. These notebooks feature a unique exterior texture for an enhanced tactile experience. MAINGEAR also offers their exclusive M.A.R.C. laser etching on these notebooks with MAINGEAR’s logo or a customer can submit their own art to etch on.
