Gigabyte P2742G Gaming Laptop Now For Sale

Gigabyte released the Rancor as it were, the 17.3-inch gaming laptop that's named, awkwardly enough, the P2742G.

The system combines a quad-core Core i7 CPU and a GeForce GTX 660M GPU with Windows 8 and a 1080p display. First announced last fall, the P2742G is now available in the UK for £909 and for US markets in the neighborhood of $1,450 on retail sites like Amazon.

The laptop boasts two storage bays with RAID array support, an optional Blu-ray combo drive, THX TruStudio Pro enhancements, and 2-megapixel webcam. As boss as this laptop is you're limited to the Halloween colours of either orange or black.
