Targa's desktop replacement laptop has RAID-5

If you're looking for a desktop replacement, check out what Targa has in their bag for you.

Targa's Raptor-60, which they’re calling the “first of its kind” to support RAID 5 (in JBOD, RAID 0, 1 or 5 forms), and that in its self makes this thing a heavy beast. But when you add in a 17-inch WSXGA+ screen driven by a dual NVIDIA GeForce 7950 you realise that this isn’t something you’ll be tucking under your arm and swaying off to the park with.

It's pretty sweet if you get all the options, and you'll pay for it too!!!

It can handle up to three SATA hard-drives and a Blu-Ray drive is optional. There is a range of processors, starting from a pretty boring Intel Core Duo 1.83GHz and ranging up to a 2.93GHz Core 2 Extreme.

Prices start at $2,345 although that only gets you half a gig of RAM, and lurch up to $5,481 for something massively over-specified - we’re talking 4GB of RAM, a couple of fast 200GB hard-drives and Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
