Zotac VR GO Core i7 PC Gaming Backpack Priced From $2,000 With GTX 1070, 16GB RAM And SSD
There is a relatively new product category gaining steam. It's the gaming backpack for VR, which is essentially a desktop configuration that you strap to your back while wearing a tethered VR headset such as the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. These aren't wimpy systems, either. Zotac's recently announced VR Go sports a Core i7-6700T quad-core processor paired with a GeForce GTX 1070 graphics, and it's now available to purchase for $2,000.
Zotac unveiled its burly VR Go backpack earlier this week but neglected to mention a price or when it would be available. Well, it's now showing up on Amazon, albeit it's listed as being temporarily out of stock. We added one to our virtual cart a Prime member and Amazon indicated it would arrive in 4-5 business days, so expect inventory to show up soon (probably by the end of the week).
While not cheap, the VR Go is a high-end desktop configuration. In addition to the aforementioned CPU and GPU, it also boasts 16GB of DDR4-2133 memory, a 250GB M.2 SATA SSD, 3-in-1 memory card reader, half a dozen USB 3.0 ports, dual GbE LAN ports, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, three HDMI 2.0 ports, two DisplayPort 1.3 ports, two hot swappable 6,600 mAh batteries, and Windows 10 64-bit.
The backpack measures 410mm x 270mm x 76mm (LxWxH). Zotac doesn't list the weight, though does mention that it features foam padded back support and nylon shoulder, chest, and waist straps.
MSI is another company that has a VR backpack. There a couple of benefits to the form factor. One is that a VR gamer doesn't have to worry about being tethered to a stationary desktop, and the second is that it's portable, like a laptop. The downside, of course, is that it's another piece of equipment to wear.
If this is your cup of tea, you can hit the source link to place an order.
