rockdirect Xtreme Ti review

rockdirect Hardbook review

Reviews Strangely, although rockdirect claims the Hardbook will tolerate the "harshest abuse -- from drops off the desk to spilled liquids and lunch remnants", the manual has a different take on things: "Do not use the computer near open water or other...

Crave If you're stupid enough to try that with the 6.5kg rockdirect Xtreme SL, you'll be permanently pinned to your chair. We were slightly miffed that the huge screen has a native resolution of only 1,680x1,050 pixels (we'd have liked 1,600x1,200), and...

Crave The Hardbook's maker rockdirect claims it will tolerate the "harshest abuse -- from drops off the desk to spilled liquids and lunch remnants". If you live on a fault line or are prone to epilepsy, this is one laptop that can take a knock or two.
