Maingear EX-L 15 review: Desktop-replacement gaming power in a midsize laptop

The Maingear EX-L15 stands out from most of the Ivy Bridge systems we've seen to date, in that it's a midsize 15-inch laptop rather than a 17-inch desktop replacement.

The ; is a hugely powerful, and hugely customizable, 15-inch laptop with the latest Intel and Nvidia parts.

The painfully generic off-the-shelf body will irritate anyone spending $2,000 or more on what should look like a premium product.

With desktop-replacement power in a midsize package, the 15-inch Maingear EX-L 15 is a niche product, but one that largely delivers.

Maingear EX-L 15

Building high-performance gaming components into a 15-inch laptop chassis is an exercise in compromise. What you get is a little less bulk than a 17-inch desktop replacement and equivalent performance. But those high-performance components require...

Flexible audio setup ; Superior gaming performance

Limited battery life ; Heavy for its class

Maingear ships a heavy, but attractive, 15-inch gaming notebook with superb performance in leading-edge games.
