Yup, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Zepto/">Zepto</a>'s new Hydra A17 is exactly what gamers need. Sure, the P9500 Core 2 Duo processor, 1920 x 1200 17-inch screen and NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTX with 1GB of VRAM don't hurt. There's even a subwoofer and 4GB of RAM, yours for a mere £2,029 (about $3,585 US). Luckily, you can strip this one down to £1,420 (about $2,510 US) but you'll have to sign over your gamer cred at the door -- we might not even let you thread safety pins through your eyebrows.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http:// http://www.pclaunches.com/notebooks/zepto_hydra_a17_gaming_notebook.php">PC Launches</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://uk.zepto.com/shop/notebook.aspx?notebookid=1173>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/zeptos-hydra-a17-leaves-no-cliche-unturned/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1306070/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/zeptos-hydra-a17-leaves-no-cliche-unturned/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=k2SAip"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=k2SAip" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=mUIXl"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=mUIXl" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=xnfLl"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=xnfLl" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/384659978" height="1" width="1"/>
