From the outset, Venom’s new 15.6-inch BlackBook has one clear advantage over its 2013 predecessor: it’s a lot more physically attractive, with a slimmer build (43mm to 29mm) and lighter weight (3.1kg down to 2.6kg) making it at least a little bit more portable. Although that said, this is still undeniably a large laptop — it’s not something you’ll want to be carting in a shoulder-bag to far-flung daily meetings. This is a powerful laptop that’s designed to live on a desk.
To that end it’s full of high-end components and it’s even managed a couple of firsts too, being the first laptop through APC Labs to pack a 3K (aka 2,880 x 1,620-pixel) IPS display and also run Nvidia’s brand-new GeForce GTX 970M GPU.
