Pimp your laptop

9 November 2012

So here’s the thing – you’ve got yourself a gaming laptop, but it’s just… a laptop. I mean, it’s a start but there’s no way anybody is going to take you seriously as an intergalactic supervillain just yet. You’ll obviously have to supply your own volcano-asteroid base, but in the meantime, these accessories will instantly boost your evil mainframe’s credibility.

Logitech AudioHub Notebook Dock

This gadget combines a 2.1 speaker system, 3-port USB 2.0 hub for additional media devices, webcam/headset stand, and cable management in one compact unit. The adjustable speaker array includes a single 3-inch sub-woofer and two 2-inch tweeters to deliver 15 watts RMS power, so you’ll never have to strain your ears again to listen in on potential civilian insurgencies.

The stylish black finish should go nicely with those obsidian walls.

Optoma PT110 PlayTime LED Gaming Projector

Bigger is always better (and so much more intimidating), which makes this LED projector’s 140-inch widescreen imaging better than pretty much any 17-inch laptop screen ever. Using a webcam and a few basic lighting effects, you could project your terrifying visage onto entire building walls.

People of Eternia! I stand before the Great Eye of the galaxy. Chosen by destiny by the powers of Grayskull! This inevitable moment will transpire before your eyes, even as He-Man himself bears witness to it. Now I, Skeletor, am Master of the Universe! YES! Yes… I feel it, the power… fills me. Yes, I feel the universe within me! I am… I am a part of the cosmos! The power flows… Flows through me! Of what consequence are you now? This planet, these people. They are NOTHING to me! The universe is power! Real, unstoppable POWER! And I am that force! I am that power! KNEEL BEFORE YOUR MASTER! Fool! You are no longer my EQUAL! I am more than man! MORE THAN LIFE! I… am… a… GOD! Now. You… will… KNEEEEEL! KNEEEEL!
That sort of thing.

VMultra

Velcotiy Micro’s VMultra bundles a DVD-RW drive, a USB hub and SD card slot, and a 500GB SATA 3 hard drive in one slim, durable casing for the mastermind on the go. If 500 GB isn’t enough (and those HD surveillance videos can add up quickly), you can swap it out for any 2.5-inch drive.

    “The adjustable speaker array includes a single 3-inch sub-woofer and two 2-inch tweeters…”

    I’ll mention this only once: those aren’t tweeters, they’re just small full-range speakers. Tweeters are used to drive high frequency sounds, sub-woofers are responsible for low frequencies and general full-range drivers/speakers are used for everything in-between.

    In this set-up, there are two 2″ full-range speakers (for mid- to high frequencies) and a 3″ sub-woofer.
