AVADirect Offers Core i7 Notebook

By DE Editors

AVADirect, a customer computer integrator, has begun offering a Core i7 notebook for sale on its website. AVADirect has already begun taking pre-orders as of last week and plans to ship out the notebooks to expecting customers the first week in July.

This new D900F notebook uses a desktop processor and desktop components. By using a desktop Core i7 processor, the notebook is able to include triple-channel DDR3 memory, running as high as 1333 MHz. With an on-board memory controller found only in current Intel Core i7 processors,  these notebooks will enjoy over four times the memory bandwidth of older notebook technology, according to the company. Other benefits of this platform include Simultaneous Multi-Threading, which allows a single processor core to work on two threads at the same time. Because the current Core i7 processors have four cores, SMT virtualizes up to eight cores.

The D900F can hold three hard drives, has Bluetooth, a WUXGA 17-in. LCD screen, wireless N, an internal card reader, a Blu-Ray reader/writer,  webcam, and a full-size keyboard. Its starting price is $2,538.26.
