Gaming notebook specialist Rock is teaming up with Intel to take part in the Cannonball 8000 Rally from London to Budapest.

Over a hundred cars are joining the Cannonball 8000, which sets off from Earls Court on 15 September. Rock’s gaming bus will be onsite, to give fans a chance to try out the latest Core 2 Duo notebooks, and get a look at the limited edition Rock Pegasus 665 with Cannonball lid decoration.
