Advent 6555 gaming laptop launches

Lowest-priced Intel Core 2 Quad Processor laptop

16 February 2009 11:07 GMT / By Verity Burns

Advent has launched the 6555 gaming laptop, touted as the UK's lowest priced Intel Core 2 Quad Processor.

The laptop features a solid 250GB HDD, 4GB RAM, a Blu-Ray disc drive and a 17-inch widescreen display.

With gamers in mind, the machine also features a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4850 graphics card with 512MB of dedicated graphics memory for the top visuals PC gaming demands.

The Advent 6555 comes with a gaming keyboard and three 2.0 USB ports for gaming essentials like mouse, webcam and microphone.

At 3.6kg it's pretty hefty, but is probably still more portable than a workstation should you need to take it to LAN parties and the like.

The 6555 laptop is available exclusively at PC World for £999.99 and can be bought in-store and online now.

  • It actually has the ATI HD 4850 Graphics Card in it - which is more powerful than the GF 9600. Posted by Darren, UK
  • Does the battery pack bulge out of the body at the back?? Posted by Sassoon, UK
  • wow - just wow . Superb spec for the price. Chasis is based on the MSI GT725 btw

    not sure but the HD8450 is equal to the 9800mGTX ! so under £1k for a quad core, bluray gaming monster :)

  • The main downside of this laptop that I can see is the rather low res screen @ 1440 x 900. If they had an enhanced configuration with 1900 x 1200 (WUXGA), it would just be awesome! Posted by blah, UK
  • 4850 is between 9800m gt & 9800m gtx,in some game it even beat 9800m gtx Posted by E D, UK
  • Screen res is nasty, but you can't fault much else, I absolutely love it, it's pretty much the desktop I wanted but portable ... and hooked up to my tv, so screen is moot point ;) Posted by TonyM, UK
