OCZ DIY Gaming Notebooks - Infinite Possibilities
Building your own gaming desktop can be complicated and meticulous so who would think that building your own gaming notebook would be any easier or even possible? OCZ introduces this exciting initiative to the enthusiast, gamer, and IT professional with the new Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Gaming Notebooks. Designed to make it easier than ever for consumers to take full advantage of the benefits of building their very own gaming notebook, OCZ's DIY program is one-of-a-kind, and allows consumers to build a truly high performance notebook with their own ideal configuration in just a few easy to follow steps.
Dream it. Infinite possibilities
Though many companies offer customization and different configurations, nothing compares to the options available to you with a DIY notebook kit. When the components and features are selected by you and it's built by you, it's more like you.
Gaming On-the-Go
Equipped with ATI Radeon high performance graphics, OCZ DIY notebooks provide a premium mobile gaming experience and lets you rip through all of today's most advanced and graphic-intensive games and applications.
DIY and save money doing it
Because you are buying the DIY notebook kit before the hardware is marked up and a tech assembles it, the savings are passed down to you. Additionally, you won't need to replace your entire laptop to swap out the CPU for a faster one, upgrade your RAM, or increase your hard drive storage capacity.
Configure it. Choose from list of validated components
For extra peace of mind, OCZ validates CPUs, HDDs, SDDs, and memory for the DIY notebooks ensuring ultimate compatibility and stability.
Capitalize on aggressive component pricing
Configuring your own notebook allows you to scour the web and electronics stores for the best deals on mobile components. You don't have to settle for the inflated costs added onto a complete mobile solution.
Create it. OCZ takes out the guesswork
Although assembling your own notebook may seem intuitive for enthusiasts, OCZ provides a set-up guide ensuring all components are installed correctly and all steps are completed. The DIY guide not only explains installation and set-up for experienced system builders, but also makes it easy for a novice user to take part in this DIY movement.
Take the Lead
Finally, you can take building your notebook in your own hands - literally. Build it with the components, care, and cost you've always envisioned.
OC3D "For what could be considered a bare-bones notebook, the OCZ DIY 15" is extremely well-equipped indeed. Overall, OCZ have done a great job with the build quality and features of the DIY from what we've seen so far. The DIY takes a lead across the board. Finishing off with some 'real-world' games, we can see that the DIY is the clear winner yet again, with F.E.A.R especially showing a massive improvement over the next nearest competitor. For the first time ever, enthusiasts and average users alike can take advantage of the cheaper hardware available online to build their dream notebooks at a greatly discounted rate. The build process is extremely easy and OCZ supply enough instructions to point you in the right direction but not overload you with unnecessary information. From unboxing, we managed to have a fully operational laptop in under 15 minutes. Features of the DIY are extensive to say the least."
Tom's Guide "We like that the OCZ unit only has two bottom panels, which makes access to where you add the components simple and easy. With DIY notebooks, the sky is the limit. Here’s our unit fully assembled with a little gesture of encouragement from us at Tom’s. Even if you don’t get up the gumption to build your own notebook, perhaps what you’ve seen here will show you that upgrading your existing laptop is also no big deal. There’s no need to send it to a specialist. Do it yourself and have some fun along the way."
