New 15” VECTOR Gaming Notebook Offers Gamers Incredible Bang for Their Buck in a Sleek, Portable Package

MAINGEAR — an award-winning PC system integrator of custom gaming desktops, notebooks, and workstations — today launched the MAINGEAR VECTOR, a sleek and powerful 15” gaming notebook that delivers high-performance functionality for an unbeatable value.

Combining a weight-saving hybrid aluminum and polycarbonate chassis with an Intel® 9th Gen Core™ i7-9750H 6-core mobile processor and new NVIDIA GeForce GTX™ 1660 Ti, the MAINGEAR VECTOR packs considerable power into a stealthy compact black design that’s .78” inches thick and weighs just  4.16 lbs. The MAINGEAR VECTOR meets the needs of gamers and content creators on the go, capable of delivering jaw-dropping game experiences and high-quality game streaming via Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). No stone was left unturned in the pursuit of speed; the VECTOR offers incredibly fast storage options with the addition of top-tier NVMe M.2 SSDs and 16GB of premium DDR4 memory. A vibrant anti-glare 1080p 144hz 15.6” display and back-lit RGB gaming keyboard complete the overall look of the VECTOR, continuing MAINGEAR’s tradition of style and substance.

“To date, the MAINGEAR VECTOR delivers the most performance per dollar of any gaming notebook that we have ever offered,” said Wallace Santos, founder and CEO of MAINGEAR. “The VECTOR is the perfect solution for gamers, streamers, and professional creators who want uncompromised functionality without the excessive weight often associated with gaming notebooks.”

The MAINGEAR VECTOR features game-changing technologies courtesy of an NVIDIA GeForce GTX™ 1660 Ti which optimizes performance and battery length. NVIDIA® OPTIMUS™ intelligently optimizes graphics performance based on the task at hand, extending battery life when on the move. When plugged into a power source, the MAINGEAR VECTOR has access to Whisper Mode — which regulates a game’s framerate and graphics settings for optimal power-efficiency and quieter gaming sessions.
