The main problem with most of the gaming laptops out there is the size, they are BIG, but the Digital Storm Triton is trying to balance that out. The main idea behind the concept is that it will offer increased portability, while still trying to make enough space for decent venting, a compromise of sorts.
The variant equipped with an Intel Core i7-4710HQ, quad-core processor, that can Turbo Boost up to 3.5 GHz, costs $1.600. Even if not that powerful, the price still beats other machines on the market that can rocket from $4.500 to $5.000, like Origin or Alienware.
The Digital Storm Triton packs a 120 GB SSD that reads at 505 MB/s and writes at 492 MB/s. It also has a nice, 750 GB HDD that runs at 7200 RPM. The GPU on this unit is an Nvidia GTX 970M. It doesn’t beat the 980M that you would find in many high-end gaming notebooks, but the 3 GB VRAM is nothing to be ashamed of. The memory on the Digital Storm Triton stands at 8GB DDR3, at 1600 MHz.
The display on the machine has a FHD resolution of 1980 x 1080, with backlit LED. The issue with the display on the Digital Storm Triton is that it has poor viewing angles and can be a bit of a nuisance when trying to watch a movie from different positions.
The connectivity on the Digital Storm Triton is not bad either. It features 3 x USB 3.0 ports, both a microSD and an SD card reader, an eSATA port, an Ethernet jack and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Video connectivity is represented by a HDMI and two mini-Display Ports.
The design on the Digital Storm Triton is not something you would call modern. It has more of a vintage aspect, but still not that bad. The encasing is rigid plastic with metal-like accents, making it quite sturdy. It measures 15.16 x 10.67 x 0.98 inches (wide, deep, thick), and weighs in at 2.5 kg.
