The Deviltech Devil 9700 DTX W860CU Notebook can easily be labelled the ‘fastest and most powerful’ laptop in its calibre. Each of its components seems to have been handpicked for delivering the ultimate gaming experience. So, one can expect a stunning performance from the Devil.

Sporting a 15.6” widescreen monitor with a full high definition of 1920 x 1800 pixels, this laptop can be trusted for presenting movies and images with great clarity. The Intel Core i7 820QM 1.73GHz processor comes integrated into the base model. Faster processors can be opted for too, for a higher price. The 4GB DDR3 RAM also provides sufficient space for a speedy performance. A 320GB hard drive comes packed in this device. The Windows 7 OS has been employed as software platform. To top all these, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M graphics processor handles all the visual signal processing. The standard model comes with a DVD built-in drive. A Blu Ray drive will cost you an additional €119 and a Blu Ray burner can drive the price up by €299.
