AMD's official online fan store has a lot of goodies for the brand's biggest aficionados. The chipmaker (via momomo) has collaborated with Vertagear to bring an AMD-branded version of the latter's PL4500 gaming chair to the market.
The PL4500 AMD Edition is available with a black and white theme or a black and red theme. Vertagear produced limited quantities of the chair, so there won't be many rolling around. The PL4500 AMD Edition sells for $579 on AMD's fan store and ships directly from Vertagear. When it's not on sale, the vanilla version retails for $549.99, so the AMD version only commands a $29 premium.
The PL4500 offers lumbar and neck support thanks to the memory foam cushions. The armrests support 3D adjustments so you can find your perfect sitting posture. The backrest is adjustable and allows for tilt adjustments between 80 and 140 degrees. Meanwhile, the locking system, which has four positions, lets you lock your favorite angle in place. Vertagear incorporated an industrial-grade gas lift into the PL4500. The gaming chair hits 54.1 inches (137.5cm) when fully extended.
The PL4500 may be a big gaming chair, but its assembly is straightforward. Vertegear designed the chair with a patented "slide-in" design where you slide the different pieces into place. So the ability to assemble the chair by yourself is a plus.
Unlike other gaming chairs, the PL4500 AMD Edition doesn't come with any cheesy RGB lighting. However, if you can't live without the bling, Vertagear sells an optional RGB upgrade kit for $199.99 that you install into the backrest.
