GeForce GTX 480M: AVADirect’s W880CU Is Packing The Heat
With the launch of its GeForce GTX 480M, Nvidia’s Fermi architecture takes center stage in high-end gaming notebooks. But is the notoriously-hot GPU able to compete against AMD's Mobility Radeon HD 5870? AVADirect gives us the answer with its new W880CU.
More W880CU Features
Clevo knows that anything plugged into the front of a notebook becomes a hazard once the unit leaves the desk. Only the tiny vent holes disturb an otherwise-smooth front edge.
A 2.0 MP camera occupies the top edge of the W880CU’s frame, a surface that features a high-gloss finish to match the sheen of the unit’s flat panel display. A matte finish on other surfaces reduces fingerprints.
The standard touchpad features a fingerprint scanner to make logins quicker and more secure.
AVADirect packs its W880CU with a notebook bag and shoulder strap, power brick and cord, OEM-license Windows 7 OS, manufacturer documentation booklets, a standard telephone cord, secondary hard drive bracket, and its own documentation folder.
A CD Sleeve within AVADirect’s system documentation folder includes drivers and software for all installed hardware. Also included (but not shown) is a DVI-I-to-VGA adapter block.
