Good Points

Excellent choice of component result in a top notch machine with great performance even after almost 2 years from release. Despite its age the CTX still runs most modern games effortlessly even at the full screen resolution of 1920x1200 as for other office applications it handles these without even breaking into a sweat.


Bad Points

This is a definite 'desktop replacement' whilst this makes it perfect for use as a mobile gaming platform, it also results in a short battery life when used away from the mains and the term 'luggable' springs to mind as well.
Finally some caution should be used before placing this laptop on your lap as the high spec components inside tend to run quite hot.


General Comments

The Xtreme CTX is not the sort of laptop for someone looking to do some light web browsing and write an occasional document, it is both too cumbersome and has too shorter battery life to make it attractive for that kind of use on a regular basis. This laptop should be viewed more as a mobile entertainment centre, it is ideal for playing games and all sorts of multimedia applications and it excels in these areas.

This laptop is definitely a desktop replacement, unlike many other laptops on the market which require a 'proper' desktop for running serious applications, the CTX is capable of doing it all in a nice neat package. Personally I bought this laptop to keep myself amused when I stay away on business week and it has lived up to every expectation I had at purchase time.
