Now here’s a laptop for any RGB lovers out there. The keyboard is fully RGB backlit and customisable, as is the rear of the unique chassis, which houses plenty of ports along with two RGB zones.
The Defiant range of laptops are available in a decent range of configurations, starting with the RTX 3060 GPU, 500GB of storage and 16GB of memory, stretching all the way up to the RTX 3080 Ti GPU, 2TB of storage, and a whopping 32GB of memory.
The combination of the 12th Gen Core i7 CPU, DDR5 memory and RTX 3060 GPU found in this showcase model delivers great gaming performance that you can enjoy anywhere – along with having the power to create content and plough through any CPU bound tasks.
Don't forget the silky smooth 165Hz display either, which, coupled with the 2560×1600 resolution IPS panel, is also vibrant, sharp and crisp. Producing image quality that will suit creative work as well as gaming.
The Defiant laptops also have some pretty serious cooling – With a dual chamber design featuring 5 heat pipes and dual independent radial fans. What's more, there’s also a dedicated fan boost button for an extra bump in fan speed if you ever need it.
The chassis used in the Defiant line is unique in the UK to this range from Chillblast and it definitely stands out from the crowd. The laptop tips the scales at 2.5kg and is 3.1cm thick – the cooling protruding out from the back gives it an aggressive overall look which will appeal to the gamers out there, along with the well sized trackpad and gamer-themed keyboard.
The Defiant range of laptops from Chillblast start at £1629.99 and you pick one up from Box HERE.
KitGuru says: The Defiant range is no sheep in a wolf's clothing. It delivers the performance to match the aggressive ‘gamer' styling and stays nice and cool due to the rigorous cooling system.
