new Gigabyte P35K

The supplier is http://www.camtechsystems.co.uk/, if you email them asking to pre-order and information they will get back to you confirming what I just said.

 

I think the P35K-CF2 has 128GB SSD and only 12gb RAM

 

For those pre-ordering, what pricing have you seen? Camtech have quoted just over £1260+ VAT

 

For anyone who is interested in the p25w and doesn't mind using Google translate can look at this review which has a lot of pics of the internals and benchmarks. Apparently the p25w at load makes a fan noise of 47.7 dB. 진정한 게이밍 노트북!! GIGABYTE Phantasus P25W Review :: 쿨엔조이 / 리뷰

 

Do you guys think that the P35K will be available with an AZERTY keyboard?

 

I don't see why not. Patience though.

 

I think after the samsungs ditching of the 8870 ativ 8 in the US, this is what i am waiting for. Cant wait to read some reviews

 

hey guys, I think I may have just caught something interesting on the Gigabyte NB facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/GIGABYTE.Notebook.Global/posts/10151804861591880

delay possibly due to Windows 8.1 release?

 

If anything they'd delay the release because they couldn't get enough chips. Seems pointless to wait for 8.1 to release since they can just push out that update after release anyway.

 

Would not surprise me. Windows 8 is a pile of steaming dung; 8.1 alleviates some of the issues and would probably result is less overall support requests for them.

 

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but theres a Korean review out, it did come out a little while ago but i'd say its still fairly accurate... (Just use google translate, it works fine~)

(My bad if im not doing this shizzle right. I literally just joined today so I could follow this thread :b )

 

Any views of if I can swap the HDD for a SSD drive and configure in RAID0? HDD size isn't important to me as long as its around 256GB as I have a home server system but would love to get the better speed.

Anyone seen any reviews which consider the battery life?

 

You can fit 2 msata drives in raid 0 as well as one (2 with odd) conventional disks.

Artur Hofmann Can i change the simple things like the RAM and the HDD without warranty lost?

GIGABYTE NB Ram - Yes. HDD - you need to send it to the service center.

This quote from their FB page has me worried about changing the HDD's. I had the same idea of adding my own msata drives to Raid.

 

Hey guys,
Pricing looks to be $1400-$1600 for the p35k and p34g in the US (according to GB's facebook page). And they said that you can change the HDD and msata's but there is a "risk" of voided warranty.
Probably just need to put back the old hardware if anything.

Hi Gigabyte NB. Understand that the P35K's RRP is USD1299 but how about for the P34G? Thanks.

GIGABYTE NB Hey Alwin - depends on the config. but looks like it could be between $1399 - $1599 for the P34G/ P35K.


If P35K starts at 1399 then it is a lot cheaper then what is shown on the preorder websites.

 

The prices that I've been seeing are around $1350 for the lower end model:
GIGABYTE P35K-CF1 Gigabyte NB P35K-CF1 15.6 i7-4700HQ 8G 750G GTX765M 9.5mm DVD W8 on AntaresPro.com

Upper model:
GIGABYTE P35K-CF2 Gigabyte NB P35K-CF2 15.6 i7-4700HQ 12G 1TB+128G GTX765M 9.5mm on AntaresPro.com

 

Hey,
I just asked some more retailers about this laptop, the response I got from camtechsystems.co.uk:

 

This is great news, so does that means i can get about a dual storage p34g for approximate price of 1400 USD?
this will be awesome

 

Just saw this video; although there's nothing really interesting in it (boot time), mabe he uploads further videos in the days to come. (wont be able to understand a word since I don't understand chinese lol)

These specs seem to scream out Dell M3800 competitor. It already has the required IPS display; wonder what logistics would be required to implement a Quadro K2100m/K1100m solution?

 

what sort of video card are they putting on this dell machine? is it something better than the 765m?? I'm really curious. it is meant to be a business laptop right?

 

Hey everyone, here are some pictures of this beautiful laptop! Credits to Sinchen.Lin for taking these pictures.

gigabyte-p35k - a set on Flickr

Also shows the internals. Love the dual fan system.

 

Wow, it looks great! Just wished the screen bezel was a little smaller.

 

CPU/GPU location seem good for not getting the keyboard incredibly hot when playing games. I wonder where the benchmarks are considering that this laptop is going to be released soon.

 

The M3800 is a small workstation, not a gaming laptop. The GPUs aren't really comparable, they are optimised for different things. Nvidia design the gaming 6xxm and 7xxm cards for gaming only, they aren't much good for CAD or image/video editing, and visa versa for the Quadros.

 

Yea but my guess is, due to the "full sized" keyboard, they had to, by default, increase the screen bezel in order to maintain uniformity of the entire chassis. IMO, it's a small price to pay for the keypad.

 

pre-orders are up on OCUK

 

Loving that tag line on the P35K box

"Releasing unprecedented performance with stunning visual enjoyment in compelling audio festivity"

I know that when I'm shopping for a laptop, 'audio festivity' is high on my list of must have features.

 

Hell yea, I like to rock out with some BoneyM

 

The laptop is wider and also longer than normal to get it thinner. There are other laptops with full keyboards that are considerably smaller than the P35K.

I can confirm the above too - the parts are user upgradable - but will void your warranty.

If you are in the UK, it needs to be done by FASC in Telford - I'll ring them at 09:30 (when the sales guy is in) to get a quote. I've asked OCUK if this is something they can do prior to shipment & keep the warranty intact.

/edit
FASC will charge £35 + £10 Shipping to install your own disks in the machine (quite reasonable I thought).

J

 

Great info man, although I think OCUK is going to be more expensive than camtech. The 16gb version is like 1500 GBP
I don't know why all the configs show 2 msata drives? Last week it was just one: msata 128+ 1TB sata.

edit: camtech is without VAT...
Just thought it would be nice to know what actually voids warranty: the fact of changing the disks or the fact the you send the pc with non-stock drives (that way we could change it ourselves).

 

There is a dreaded sticker over one of the screws which you need to undoo to release the main enclosure.

There are two versions of the P35k in the UK.

Cheap:
1 x 128GB SSD
1 x 750gb HD
1 x DVD
8gb RAM

Expensive:
2 x 128GB SSD (RAID) which can hopefully be un-raided
1 x 1 TB disk
1 x BR-DVD
16GB RAM

Wether the £300 justifies the extra goodies remains to be seen - but it would save ball ache of getting it installed yourself.

 

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing.
I'm not interested in the second msata nor the BR-DVD.
It would be interesting to know if the 8GB version is a 2x4GB or not, so that one can add a second module.

 

RAM is so cheap at the mo, I don't think it'd be a deal breaker if it was 2 x4?

 

Does anyone know the battery life on these yet?

 

Yes, according to the link to flickr on the previous page, the individual known as Sinchen.Lin posted a picture of the battery - Li-Ion 6380 mAh 75.81 Wh

 

That good or bad?

Damn this laptop makes me want to return my shiny new razer blade 14 inch the panel, ssd / hdd storage, even both ram and cpu is just better plus you have a built in blu ray writer I had to buy a separate dvd writer and an external 500gb hdd for extra storage and back ups since 256gb is just barely enough storage for a gaming laptop these days

I do love the razer blades 6 hour battery life though, but I hate the viewing angles on the screen, the P35K has a full HD IPS panel which is sweet for watching movies, if the P35K can muster a similar battery life to the blade I might just be tempted to sell my unit and just grab this baby!

 

I believe it's the biggest non-ULV haswell laptop battery (no native speaker, but you get the idea).
It also has a bigger screen, but I'd say it should have at least 4 hours.

 

So when is this beast supposed to be released here in the US? I keep hearing September/October

 

End of the September is highly probable according to the chatter on Gigabyte NB Facebook.

 

4 hours is pretty good, but i was expecting more hours like the chronos series

 

On the facebook page they said that newegg was one of the distributors. Hopefully that means that we can get some nice discounts through v.me. From what I've seen the discounts don't tend to be that great on the other sites that typically carry gigabyte laptops.

 

Yea that's what I have seen too!

 

Yea I noticed that too. Though, even though I probably already know what the answer is going to be, I wonder if there is any hope of Newegg.ca carrying their laptops =/

 

Ocuk have pushed the delivery date back to the 05 th Oct

Well that doesn't bode well. I wonder if that is a region specific delay.
