Maingear Clutch-13

The Maingear Clutch-13 is one of two Intel Core I series laptops (Clutch-13, Clutch-15) released in late 2010 as an expansion to its notebook line. In particular, the smaller 13.3” Clutch-13 houses an Intel Core i3 CPU, up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and either SATA or SSD drives.

It’s designed mainly for business and light entertainment, as the base comes with a DVD drive (Blu-ray optional) and, more importantly, an included docking station that adds extra connectivity options like DVI, an extra RJ-45, more audio ports, etc. Plus there’s integrated Gigabit LAN, Wireless N connectivity, and eSATA/USB ports. What really sets the Clutch units apart from competitors is there added technology, including Always Aware for added system security; Anti-Theft for a complete lock-down in case of malicious behavior; and My WiFi for establishing a PAN.
