Las Vegas, Nev., August 4, 2008 -- MALIBAL, a world leader in innovative laptop design and development, today released its latest line of high-performance Intel® Core™ 2 Duo laptops. Available immediately, the Lotus Series™ features the latest in dual-core technologies, high-performance graphics and wireless connectivity.
Powered by a flagship NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GT graphics card, the Lotus Series can handle all of today's latest 3D games and graphical assignments with ease. NVIDIA GeForce GPUs for Notebook PCs deliver outstanding performance and real-time graphic processing power of a desktop to notebook solutions. The extraordinary features enhance the visual experience of everyday applications, continually pushing the envelope of multimedia performance, and providing ultra-realistic effects for gaming - all with rock-solid stability.
The Lotus Series also comes equipped with all of the latest breakthroughs and innovations in mobile computing, including an HDMI port, Intel Turbo Memory, eSATA port, and ultra, high-performance DDR3 RAM. The HDMI port allows a user to turn any HDTV into a brilliant, high-resolution computer display that supports full 1080P HD output. Intel Turbo Memory is an entirely new system innovation for Windows Vista PCs, that is based on Performance Intel NAND Flash Memory (like the memory in an iPod or USB 'thumb' drive), together with supporting software. It works alongside a system's RAM to increase the efficiency of data movement between the processor and hard disk. The eSATA port is another new technology, that allows for ample, external storage space without sacrificing performance compared to using USB or FireWire as it is connected directly to the HDD controller.
