Reviews of the Xtreme Notebooks 917V Accelerator

CNET Review
The Good: Quad-core CPU, fast and ample memory, and dual SLI graphics mean it's a strong performer; unparalleled frame rates among laptops; 10-key number pad is useful for gaming; built-in subwoofer and optional integrated TV tuner.
The Bad: Expensive, especially for our fully-loaded configuration; though the 3D gaming performance is outstanding, laptops that cost considerably less aren't that far behind; lousy battery life; uncomfortable for typing; lacking multimedia extras such as media control buttons and instant-on playback; the albatross that is the massive power brick.
The Bottom Line: The Xtreme Notebooks 917V Accelerator is an unquestionably powerful laptop, but impressed as we are with its performance and 3D frame rates, it's hard to justify the sky-high price. This quad-core laptop seems suited only for those who want a true desktop gaming rig that's still moderately portable.
