The XN1 is neither a notebook nor extreme. Let’s discuss: Though striking similar to Sony’s LT series, the XN1 is nowhere near as polished. And its specs keep it mired in mediocrity; its 1.87-Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2-GB RAM are entry-level fodder, and a skimpy 80-GB hard drive is simply unacceptable. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find the XN1 running the 64-bit version of Vista Ultimate. It’s a capable machine, just not extremely capable. —Claude McIver
WIRED Good inputs, including a eSATA port for high-speed hard drives, and dual coax for digital audio. Slim, slot-load HD DVD-ROM drive.
TIRED Though the smallest drive available on their website is 200 gigs, our review system came with a laughable 80-GB drive. Just 26 fps in our P.R.E.Y. benchmark with its nVidia GeForce Go 7600. $1599, xtremenotebooks.com (story Link)
