Introducing LiveBook V2 by Rain - The world's most powerful laptop
Here it comes, boys and girls, the laptop you've all been waiting for. Your friends here at Rain just dropped the world's most powerful laptop and you may want to give it a spin.
This new beast is called LiveBook V2. The "V" is for video which is what it was designed to do. With available multiple hard drives, NVIDIA Quadro workstation graphics, a quad-core processor and room for an absolutely astounding 32 gigabytes of memory, you're going to end up wondering why anyone would get a desktop instead.
But don't think video is the only way to go once you get your LiveBook V2 out of the box. As usual, we tested and certified our new mobile power house with the 3D graphics apps you love like 3ds Max, Maya, AutoCAD, Lightwave... need we go on?
LiveBook V2 wants to come home and live with you. But before it does, you're going to want to decide what's inside the box. A quick trip to the Rain Custom Shop will dazzle you with options. Pick your processor, memory, drives, GPU and whatever else you need to get going. Then settle back and enjoy the ride. We guarantee it'll look awesome on the new ultra-high res FHD display with native 1920x1200 resolution.
Looking for more info? We got ya covered right here.
