MAINGEAR, an award-winning PC system builder offering custom desktops, notebooks, workstations, has made considerable upgrades to the Pulse 14 high performance ultraportable notebook and is unparalleled in its class and size for PC gamers and PC enthusiasts who do not want to sacrifice speed or performance on the go.

The MAINGEAR Pulse 14 combines a unique laptop design featuring the latest mobile technology with Intel's 4th Generation Core processors that delivers the perfect combination of performance, power efficiency, and portability. The Pulse 14 also utilizes the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M graphics processing unit with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory to deliver tremendous 3D gaming capabilities. All of this power and performance is wrapped up in a svelte lightweight gaming laptop 14" package with an IPS-class AHVA 1080p resolution display, the perfect resolution for the included GPU to allow for high levels of detail, geometry, and texture resolution in the latest and most demanding PC games.





In continuing the trend of high performance in a tiny package, the Pulse 14 lightweight gaming laptop can also be outfitted with dual mSATA SSD drives in RAID 0 arrays of up to 960 GB, almost twice the size and more than twice the speed of even the most expensive versions of competing laptops in this size category. In addition, a 2.5" 2 TB SATA disk drive can be installed for additional storage, bringing the total number of installed drives to three, a sum previously only seen in larger form-factors. The Pulse 14 also comes feature-packed with three USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, an SD card reader, and immersive 2.1 speakers with Creative Sound Blaster Cinema.



Not only is the Pulse 14 powerful and efficient on the inside, but MAINGEAR offers the very best in optional automotive paint finish in a variety of colors that are hand painted for flawless perfection all around. The only boutique manufacturer to own and operate its own automotive spray-booth; MAINGEAR PCs including the Pulse 14 lightweight gaming laptop receive the same Glasurit paint found on the world's supercars. All of MAINGEAR products are supported with lifetime labor and phone support with one to three year hardware warranty.

"The new Pulse 14 is a gaming power house masquerading as an ultra-portable notebook." said Mark Aevermann, Senior Product Manager at NVIDIA Corporation. "Packed with horsepower, the Pulse 14 utilizes the ultra-efficient NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M to deliver 1080p gaming, long battery life, and cutting edge gaming features."

"At first glance the Pulse 14 is a lot like a "sleeper car" it doesn't look like it can eat up any game out there and come back for more, but it does!" Said Wallace Santos, CEO and Co-founder of MAINGEAR Computers. "Packing the latest in NVIDIA discrete mobile graphics combined with the power of the Intel Core i7 and i5 mobile processors make this the perfect laptop for taking on all your high performance needs."

Glasurit paint is excellent and they should not be wasting it on a laptop with InHell and Nvidia inside.

Intel and Nvidia are currently the best performance per watt parts on the market and are the exact components that you would want in a high-performance laptop.
