Xeno-m
Computer Shopper (July '03)
Best Buy 5/5 Stars
The Xeno-M put in the best Windows performance in our
£999 notebook Labs (June 2003), scoring 174 in
SYSmark 2002. Its limited 3D performance means this
isn’t a games machine, but there’s little
other software that will break the Xeno-M into a sweat.
Unusually for an affordable, high performance notebook,
the Rock looks pretty good too, with its silver finish
and metallic blue lid, and weighs a reasonably portable
2.8kg. Three USB ports, Firewire, Ethernet, VGA, S-video,
a PC Card slot and V.90 modem make it ready to connect
to most peripherals, although there’s no support
for older parallel or serial devices, or for USB2 or
wireless networking. With decent performance, a stylish
design and battery life that lasted 142 minutes in our
tests, the Xeno-M is an excellent choice for those who
aren’t obsessed with the latest technologies.
