This machine works with an ASUS P8Z77-V Pro Motherboard with the ability to connect to your peripherals with Thunderbolt. Attached you’ll find a lovely Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processor (3rd gen, of course, Ivy Bridge it is), and 16GB DRR3-2133 memory. Your setup in its out of the box form will work with an NVIDIA GTX600 series graphics processing card and will be more than ready to take on all next-generation games throughout 2013 – and beyond!
You’ll find Intel 520 series solid state boot drives in this amalgamation of greatness along with up to three 2TB Hard Drives configured to be tough in RAID 5. Each system works with Windows 8 Pro and is ready and willing to act as your premiere home theater controller. The Raptor MultiPlex works with Digital TV tuners able to work with up to 4 recordings concurrently.
You’ll also be working with S/PDIF out for High Definition 9.1 Channel audio and will be able to play Blu-rays at 1080p via PowerDVD12. Most of these options are also upgradable – pick up an NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti, 670, or 680 if you’re feeling like you want to break out with the nicest of the nice. The base price for this setup is $1,849 USD, and you’ll be able to upgrade across the board straight from the Velocity Micro online shop – go big!

Velocity Micro is refreshing its NoteMagix line of laptops with three 14-inch Ultrabooks: the U430, U450 and U470. These models aren’t the thinnest machines in their category — the aluminum design tips in at four pounds — but all three have enough room for a DVD drive. All three models also feature a 14-inch display with a resolution of 1,366 x 768 — and, notably, none of them come with bloatware. Other specs include a 1.3-MP webcam, integrated Intel HD 4000 Graphics and a rated battery life of six hours.
The $800 NoteMagix U430 is the entry-level model, with a Core i3 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive spinning at 5,400 RPM. The $900 U450 steps up to a Core i5 processor and a 120GB SSD, while the $1,100 U470 runs a Core i7 chip with 240GB of solid-state storage. The Ultrabooks are available now through Velocity Micro’s site — check out the source link for a closer look.

There’s a brand new Ultrabook in town sporting Intel inside from Velocity Micro, with three new models pumped up for the new year. This lineup comes in with three notebooks by the names of NoteMagix U430, NoteMagix U450, and NoteMagix U470, each of them coming in with a unique chassis and no Bloatware at all, whatsoever. These units are pumped up and ready for the big time, too with solid aluminum bodies and less than 4 pounds to any one unit.
Each of the three units here works with a lovely 14-inch 1366 x 768 pixel resolution (WXGA) Anti-Glare display, Panther Point (HM77) chipset, and a 3rd gen Intel Core at i3, i5, or i7, each of their prices reflecting the power. These machines come with 4GB DDR3 RAM and varying hard drives based on the model as well: 500GB 5400rpm and 24gb SSD, 120GB Intel® 520 Series SSD, or 240GB Intel® 520 Series SSD.
Each of these models works with Integrated Intel HD 4000 Graphics, over 6 hours of battery life, and a lovely webcam at 1.3 megapixels. Each unit works with its own ethernet port, two USB 3.0 ports, full-size HDMI out, headphone jack, and multi-card reader. A set of rubbery bumpers on the bottom and a lovely black casing and you’re ready to go!
These machines will be available immediately if not soon online starting at three prices based on model. The lowest-spec’d model is the NoteMagix U430 which will be starting at $799.99, followed by the NoteMagix U450 which starts at $899.99 USD. The biggest and the best in this new lineup is the NoteMagix U470 which starts at $1099.99 USD – that’s the one you want!

While Velocity Micro announced the VMultra earlier this year at CES, it’s only now ready for primetime. The VMultra combines a USB hub, an SD card slot, a DVD±RW drive and 500GB of storage into a surprisingly slim package that connects to any computer via USB 3.0. If you like, you can even fit your own 2.5-inch hard drive in the SATA III bay. You’ll have to take out the included 500GB HDD first of course. The company intends this to be a “perfect all-in-one peripheral,” especially for notebook travelers looking to lighten their luggage; perhaps to make room for things like “clothes.” Each VMultra will cost you $199.99 and will ship starting November 12th.
For those who prefer desktops, Velocity Micro also announced a $599 holiday edition of its Vector PC that runs on a dual-core AMD A6-5400k processor and 8GB of DDR3 RAM in the same press release, which you can peek at after the break.

Velocity Micro, makers of custom pre-built desktop computers, announced a Vector “Holiday Edition” desktop computer, as well as a VMultra drive external peripheral. The computer isn’t dressed up in Christmas colors and strung with bells and ribbons — it’s a different kind of Holiday Edition, meaning the company is making it its main product over the holidays.
The Vector Holiday Edition was designed and built in the US, and it starts at a base price of $599, which will get you an AMD A6-5400K dual-core processor, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, AMD Radeon HD graphics, 1TB of hard drive storage, and the buyer’s choice of either Windows 7 or the new Windows 8. Plus, the purchase comes with a one-year warranty and lifetime phone support.
The VMultra Drive peripheral will be separate purchase, and it combines four different peripheral devices into one single hub. Features include an external DVD±RW drive, a USB 3.0 hub, a SD card slot, and a 500GB hard drive as a backup storage solution. The VMultra Drive will begin shipping November 12 for $199.
The Vector Holiday Edition is available now for configuring and ordering, and will ships as soon as possible. If you’re wanting to get that special someone a custom-built machine, but don’t want to risk building it yourself, the Vector Holiday Edition may be a good choice come this holiday season.
