The Puget D770 is a high-end, 17-inch mobile workstation featuring Intel's 6th generation of Core i5 and i7 desktop processors. These Skylake CPUs provide higher clock speeds than notebook-class CPUs, but at the cost of added heat and power consumption.
For graphics, a powerful dedicated cards in NVIDIA's GeForce line are available to suit high performance needs. Although the CPUs technically have Intel graphics built in as well, that is *not* usable on this laptop: it uses the dedicated video card alone. That helps avoid conflicts that can come up with software not properly using the dedicated card, as well as difficulty that some operating systems have with switching graphics adapters on the fly. The dedicated NVIDIA graphics card drives a 17.3-inch Full HD (1080P) screen.
In addition to the built-in screen, one HDMI and two DisplayPort outputs are present to hook up external monitors. The connectivity on this laptop includes four USB 3.0 ports, one eSATA (shared with a USB), one Thunderbolt 3 Type C connector, and a memory card reader. The keyboard is back-lit, and accompanied by a touchpad that supports multi-gesture and scrolling. For storage it accommodates two 2.5-inch SATA drives and two M.2 drives, but no optical drive; if you need one of those an external USB model is available.

William George (Marketing Project Manager) Says:
There are a few things worth noting about this notebook:
- Even though it is a large laptop, intended as a desktop replacement, there is no optical drive bay.
- The Thunderbolt 3 port is one of the new "Type C" connectors, and can also function as a USB 3.1 port.
- One of the USB 3.0 ports is also an eSATA port. This laptop is also capable of housing (powering and cooling) a desktop-class GeForce GTX 980 video card. That makes it the ideal platform for mobile virtual reality and gaming, as well as scientific GPU-based applications.

Due to this laptop using a desktop-class CPU this unit requires more power and outputs more heat than a standard laptop. We highly recommend using this laptop only on a flat, solid surface with the exhaust vents clear of obstructions (especially when under heavy load).
