Budget Beachside Gaming on Everex's XT5000T

Stepnote XT5000T
Summer is just around the corner. Some will elicit effete cries of delight, in anticipation of endless afternoons sipping pimms and applying copious amounts of sunscreen to lobster like backs. Personally sitting on the beach is about as exciting as watching a quadruple omnibus of "Painting with Nancy". I can't just lie there grilling on the sand like a big whopper, I need to be entertained with dvds or games - laptop style.

However the beach is a dangerous place for an expensive gaming notebook to be. The risk of getting sand in the keyboard, or a cornetto in the cooling fan is extremely high. There's no way I'd risk a 2-3 grand Macbook or Vaio on a beach. Luckily there is a cheaper alternative available in the unpretentious form of the 8.1 pound Everex Stepnote XT5000T.

Currently OfficeMax are offering this Stepnote for the discounted sum of $699.98 dollars. For that you get a 17 inch widescreen display (1440x900), 1.6GHz dual core 64 bit X2 Turion processor, 100GB hard drive, 1024MB of DDR2 RAM and 256MB of dedicated graphics memory courtesy of NVIDEA's GeForce Go 7600 GPU. Granted these specs are not inhabiting the realm of cutting edge, but who can argue with a bargain price tag of under seven hundred dollars?
