Boutique system builder AVADirect is breaking new ground today by being the first to offer Clevo's P270WM gaming notebook, the long anticipated successor to the popular Clevo X7200. What makes the Clevo P270WM so special is that it's rocking an Intel X79 foundation with Sandy Bridge-E processor options, a potent combination for the next generation of desktop replacements.

For precisely $3,069.11, AVADirect's baseline Clevo P270WM comes ready to rumble with the following parts:

• 17.3-inch HD LED screen with 3D support
• Intel Core i7 3930K processor
• 4GB DDR3-1333MHz RAM
• Nvidia GeForce GTX 580M graphics card
• 750GB Seagate Momentus SATA 3Gbps hard drive (7200 RPM, 16MB cache)
• 8X DVD burner
• Three USB 3.0 ports
• HDMI 1.4a output
• 9-in-1 memory card reader
• 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi; GbE LAN port
• Backlit keyboard
• Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

There are plenty of upgrade options available. The 17.3-inch desktop replacement supports Intel's Core i7 3960X processor and can be configured with up to 32GB of quad-channel memory, up to three HDDs or SSDs with optional RAID, and a second graphics card in SLI or a single Quadro 5010M with 4GB of onboard memory.
