SavRow AXEN-X1 notebook with dual GPUs but no WMCE
We got all excited thinking that the SavRow AXEN-X1 notebook would make a sweet mobile DTV solution, but as we dug a little more the disappointment set in. The $4,000 system sports dual NVIDIA Go 7800 GTX graphics cards paired with a 19-inch widescreen display capable of 1680 x 1050 pixels. Sounds promising for some expensive 720p high-def right? Then we hit the system configurator because if we're willing drop four-grand, why not go all in?
Unfortunately, there's no option to upgrade from Windows XP Home Edition to Windows Media Center Edition, so it logically follows why we didn't see an option for a DTV tuner either. Clearly the AXEN-X1 is geared towards gamers, but at that price you can snag an Xbox 360 and have enough left over for three 34-inch widescreens from Sony. Maybe it's just us, but perhaps the DTV tuner inclusion rule should start applying to these monster notebooks and not just televisions.
