Designed specifically with today·s business traveller and savvy consumer in mind, the Xeno-m focuses on the four areas most important to mobile users - performance, battery life, portability and connectivity. The New Xeno-m delivers unrivalled performance and extended battery life in an ultra thin-and-light form factor. Equipped with a Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 processor - M (up to 2.2Ghz) featuring Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep™ Technology, the Xeno-m will deliver a new level of performance to business customers ensuring they have everything they need to get the job done wherever they are. Together with this powerful CPU, the Xeno-m supports up to 1Gb Double Data Rate (DDR) Synchronous DRAM and features a crisp 14-inch XGA TFT display and a CD-RW/DVD combo drive for optimum multimedia functionality. In addition, the Xeno-m is equipped with the best performing hard disk technology available. With up to 60Gb Hard Disk Drive space running at 5400rpm, users will experience a performance increase of up 33 percent when compared to most other notebook drives running at 4200rpm.

The Xeno-m is optimised for true portable computing by combining superb mobility with state-of-the-art integrated wireless technology making it easier than ever for the mobile executive to stay connected. In addition, for greater flexibility, the Xeno-m includes a V.90 integrated modem, 10/100BaseT Ethernet, 3 USB ports and an IEEE 1394 Firewire digital interface for quick and easy video and photography transfer. Furthermore, ultimate computing versatility is achieved through replacing the hot-swappable combo drive bay with an additional battery, allowing up to 6 hours battery life for frequent travellers.

"The new Xeno-m is a significant milestone in our advance of new and exciting technology for the portable market," said Nick Boardman, Managing Director of rockdirect. "Mobile users are increasingly demanding the power and performance of a desktop in a lightweight notebook design with fully integrated wireless communication capability for ultimate mobile freedom. At just 2.4Kg, the Xeno-m is extremely lightweight. Couple that with up to 6 hours battery life and users get more productive mobile time and greater flexibility to work while travelling." The Xeno-m series is guaranteed to make a striking impression with its sleek and elegant mobile design. Weighing less than 2.4Kg·s with a form factor of just 25mm, the Xeno-m is the world·s slimmest P4 notebook and strikes the perfect balance between form and function.
