Thunderobot makes a splash in Malaysia

 

CHINESE gaming hardware maker Thunderobot has entered the Malaysian market and has introduced a new line of gaming laptops powered that are powered by 7th Generation Intel Core processors and Nvidia GeForce GTX10 series graphic processors.

Thunderobot is a relatively new brand in the region but regards itself as one of the leading gaming solution companies in China, having established itself in Qingdao city back in 2014.

Speaking during the recent launch of its new range of gaming notebooks, Thunderobot chief executive officer Lu Kia Lin (pic, below) said the company’s entry into Malaysia is part of its worldwide expansion as the brand expands beyond China, eyeing the Southeast Asia and European market.

Lu explained that Thunderobot is more than just a maker of gaming laptops as it also is involved in making gaming peripherals from mice, keyboards and gaming chairs. Though it showcased several of its gaming grade mechanical keyboards at the launch, the products are said to only be available at a later date.

At the launch, Thunderobot showcased four gaming laptops with the Thunderobot Dino, its flagship model, followed by three other models: 911GT, 911SE and ST Plus.

Focusing primarily on the flagship model, the Dino features a strong, space-grey metal chassis and comes powered by an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX1070 graphics processor.

It has a 15.6-inch full HD IPS display and sports an HDMI 2.0 port that supports extending the display up to a 4K quality monitor.

Gamers can even extend their experience to more displays with the inclusion of a Mini DisplayPort 1.3 and USB-C 3.1 port.
