Kobalt supply the G150 in a rather plain brown cardboard box which is a very different approach to the likes of Alienware. This is no bad thing, though, as it's much less likely to get ‘misplaced' in transit as it doesn't obviously contain over £1000 worth of hardware. For extra protection, the G150 is packaged within a second box inside the shipping box. The inner box has a handle at the top which makes it very easy to remove.
The bundled items are much more useful than the hat and stickers that Alienware provide with their M17X. Alongside the comprehensive user manual and driver CD, Kobalt have thoughtfully included a cleaning towel and a DVI-VGA adapter. Unlike a lot of manufacturers these days, they also include a Windows 7 install CD with the laptop. This is an OEM version and the product key is affixed to the underside of the machine.
Like we've found with powerful gaming laptops, the included power supply is a brick, which does limit mobility a little. That said, taking a gaming laptop with a heavy power supply to a LAN event is still a lot easier than lugging around a desktop PC with a monitor and a variety of peripherals.
that 480 is a monster. I dont mind those keyboards, I know the reviewer didnt seem to like them, but they work well for me.
Nice looking machine, good all round spec for gamers.
Uk only delivery on their machines I take it?
We have the atom version of this, well it looks a bit different, and its very good. well made products.
@Seveish, Kobalt will deliver to most of europe and probably farther afield if you ask them nicely 🙂
@ Seveish, Kobalt Ship worldwide 🙂
Thumbs down Don’t buy from Kobalt Computers
No communications, no contact, plenty excuses, but no laptop and after 10 weeks time has run out. I cannot stress enough how disappointed I am with the level of customer service and disregard shown. After paying a large sum for a premium product and to receive nothing but excuses and empty promises this is totally unacceptable.
And it’s not like I can review the product as I cot nowhere near one, the review and pictures look good, but what’s the use of that when you’re 3K out of pocket… Keep well clear of these cowboys…
An Alienware would have been better than this…
