We just got a BFG Deimos in today, and it is big, shiny, and competing against Alienware’s M17x. So far, I can tell you that it’s a bit lighter then the Alienware, but (unscientifically speaking) about equal as far as speed. We’ll be doing a full review in the upcoming weeks, but I wanted to share some pictures and first impressions with you today.
BFG is new to the laptop world, and it kind of shows. The box was very basic, without all the pointless extras that some manufacturers include. I’m fine with that, I don’t particularly feel a need to have a BFG hat or mouse pad. I’m here for the gaming performance.
The machine looks good. And it’s not ridiculously heavy like certain other gaming laptops. It’s still huge, but not in an overwhelming way. More importantly, everything works. Sure, there’s isn’t any gimmicky “facial recognition,” but that hardly ever works right anyway. First impression is a solid machine with enough bling to keep me happy. I have to admit, I’m a sucker for blue LEDs.
So I’ve fired up my Steam account, I’m downloading some machine-melting games, and looking forward to putting this thing through its paces. As always, I’ll ask: any particular questions about the machine? Anything you’d like me to take a look at in particular in the full review? Also, if you like the look so far, keep in mind you can get 10% off the price if you pre-order by this Friday.
Can this laptop support W.O.W. will all the settings maxed?
Yes, it can. And I get about 45 fps in Dalaran.
No i7 support?Thanx I’ll pass…
Im not too sure that I can tell the difference between core I7 and core 2 extreme performance – specially in game play Im going for it …
what game is that?
specs? hardware?
I’ll get to that. This is a first look, not a full review.
well.. seems itz gonna b a thrill to play in it!Thanks dude for this writing :)
I like it but I’m not too sure about those keys for gaming.
Anxious to hear how hot it gets.
mMy wife’s Acer has those slick chiclet keys. They really are not great keys. I don’t know why laptop makers try to improve on the proven “ziggarat” shape… or change it simply for aesthetics.
