No mention of battery life? That's a weird omission.

It runs on a car battery. :D JK

omg this thing is 3000 aud for the lowest model....

 

Wow, that's 2100€. The Aurous x7 V2 (860M SLI, 16GB and two SSDs) is only 1950€. Seems odd.

Thanks for the love guys. It's Jaan from Venom here, just wanted to point out in Australia the sales price must include 10% sales tax (GST) when advertised so the Venom global site will be with no taxes and in USD so $3000 AUD Inc GST will be $2199 USD for customers outside of Australia. No tax on our end and the USD is doing strong. So it's probably best to go by the venomcomputers.com.au shop for non Australian customers. Will be available on global shop Monday next week.

Please stop doing this. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is annoyed by this.

 

Awww I blame the first page fever. I will try and do as you say and not as @LinusTech does.

What is the battery life like on these laptops? Also big props for actually reading and responding to the community. 2199 isn't as bad but with the canadian dollar where it is it's still not for me.

I am the one who goes bump in the night... usually making a sandwich.

It's kind of annoying though, with how the current exchange rate is, that, if you exclude exchange rates and just focus on the price difference alone, that the US pays $800 less than us Aussies. I know you have to factor in various things, but it still is annoying and doesn't seem quite fair.

Stop calling good quality "MacBook" quality or "Apple" quality.
The manufacturing is not done by Apple themselves.
There are plenty other products on the same or higher quality level.
Apple products are more about look than quality/good product. (sacrificing more important stuff of phones for just a thinner look. lens on new iPhone).
Their tests of their phones didn't really represent use in practice.
I wouldn't call proprietary standards and closed off options "good quality".

Okay, Linus, I know that you love your studio lights but you don't have to use all of them at once.

 

This is the video of Venom Blackbook 15:

And for comparison with the mineral oil part 4 video:

I don't know about others but for myself this is little too much "hard light" reflecting off of the doors of the cabinet, blinds and your beatiful temples.

Also I didn't bother putting two large images in this post so, links it is.

This reminded me, how come you don't have any Eurocom reviews on the channel? It's a Canadian company, surely you know each other! :P

For a laptop that strong and from an Aussie company, I'm kinda surprised they managed to get it as-low as $3000 AUD (inc GST) and found a source of sub-17" screens that aren't crapped to 1366*768.

The 60WH (Watt-hour) battery gets ~3hr 20min presumably under full stress, but that'd be enough to keep it up whilst the power's out if you used it as a desktop-replacement gaming system, long enough to safely save and shut things down long before the battery runs flat.

I really wish I could afford this beauty, or even better the Workstation version that is probably coming soon with a Maxwell Quadro GPU. It will be a beast for both gaming and CAD/CAM, which we are going to be doing more and more in university (engineering student here)

@LinusTech

you type funny.

 

cool notebook for a brand i have never heard of, but i would have gone with razer if i had never heard linus review it because they are such a small brand

Either there is an error in the video or venoms website as its stated in the video that laptop comes with a 970m gfx chip but on there website it states

 

 

NVIDA GeForce GTX Graphics

The next level of high mobile graphical computing is achieved with the Nvidia GTX 870M and even more potent GTX 880M graphics chipset which provides true PC gaming and Crisp HD Resolutions. Combined with the Venom Vision FHD Display and SoundBlaster SBX Pro – The Venom BlackBook 17 is a true mobile PC powerhouse with enormous real PC gaming, graphical rendering, multimedia and design capabilities. Choose from either the Nvidia GTX 870M or 880M .

 

hopefully its a mistake on their website :)
