rockdirect Xtreme CTX T7400 review

rockdirect Xtreme CTX T7400 review

The rockdirect Xtreme CTX T7400 is among the first laptops available in the UK to use an Intel next-generation Core 2 Duo processor. Intel says the Core 2 Duo is up to 20 per cent faster than its predecessor and this PC's intimidating performance confirmed that. Shame about the chassis, though Read more

rockdirect Xtreme Ti review

While some may be put off by the Xtreme Ti's overwhelming weight and extortionate price, bulky laptops like this are the only option if you need cutting-edge gaming performance in a luggable device.
