Its latest offering? The Nomad 17. As the name suggests this is a 17-inch notebook for gamers (http://www.engadget.com/tag/notebook%2C+gaming) on the go. (Nomad, get it?) The new addition will support third-gen Intel Core i7 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Intel+Core+i7) chips (up to 3.8GHz) and a maximum 32GB of RAM, with a choice of hard drive configurations. It's not all about the under-the-hood grunt, though, with Maingear offering a choice of six colors for what it's calling "hand-painted premium automotive paint jobs." As for the other spec options? You can expect NVIDIA (http://www.engadget.com/tag/nvidia) GeForce GTX 675M or 680M graphics, a 1,920 x 1080 display, combo Blue-ray optical drive, b / g / n wireless along with USB 2 / 3, DVI-I, HDMI and Fire Wire ports. So, this definitely sounds like a ride you can make your own. Assuming you're good with the $1,599 starting sticker price that is.
