Let me quote a certain wrinkled Sith Lord: “Power! Infinite power! That certainly seems to be what Maingear's just-announced ML-17 gaming laptop brings to the table Available for immediate purchase, this beastly portable PC starts at $3,899 Yes, that's a lot of money, but there are some tasty components available to make it worth the hefty sum

What's the headline technology that will get you hot under the collar about this laptop: The Maingear ML-17 features an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, Intel Core i9-14900HX processor, 173” 16:9 QHD screen (2560 x 1440) with a 240 Hz refresh rate This display also supports G-Sync, so playing the best PC games on this machine should be stutter-free, with little to no screen tearing

Maingear's ultra-powerful gaming laptop also goes all out on memory and storage Not only can you upgrade up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM (clocked at 4,800MHz), but you can also install up to three 4TB M2 Gen 4 NVMe SSDs Frankly, that's a ridiculous amount of storage, but I'm all about it

As for ports, the Maingear ML-17 has 2 x Thunderbolt 5, 2 x USB 32 Gen 2 connections, a single DisplayPort, HDMI slot, LAN port, and 35mm headphone jack There is no shortage of ports

It is also future-proof as it is Wi-Fi 7 compliant Returning to display capabilities, the ML-17 can also connect to two 6K monitors or one 8K screen However, even with this laptop's RTX 4090 GPU, it will not be able to play the best Steam games at 240 fps at 8K

Finally, Maingear has focused on customization options for the ML-17 In addition to pre-selecting various designs to match the desktop wallpaper, there is also an option to provide Maingear with the user's own art design

In short, if you have the money to spare and are looking for a gaming PC with an unreasonable level of potential, the Maingear ML-17 may be the dream machine you and all your lotto money have been waiting for
