Key Features

Large Widescreen Display: The most distinguishing feature was its 17-inch wide-aspect display, which offered a brilliant viewing experience for movies and games.

Desktop-Grade Graphics: It featured powerful graphics options, making it suitable for gaming, a less common trait for laptops of that era.

Media Center Focus: With the option for Windows XP Media Center and dedicated media control buttons on the front panel, it was marketed for consuming and managing digital media.

Abundant Connectivity: It offered a wide range of ports, including multiple USB ports and a digital video output (DVI-D)

Performance: Systems configured with the top-end Intel Pentium M 760 (2.0 GHz) and the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 were considered powerful mobile rigs, capable of strong performance in 2D applications and respectable 3D gaming performance for the era.

Media Controls: A row of seven buttons (play, pause, stop, etc.) was located on the front edge for easy control of disc playback.

Screen Quality: The optional WUXGA (1920x1200) TrueLife display was highly praised for its brightness, vivid colors, and crystal-clear image quality, although some users noted minor issues like backlight leakage.

Portability: Due to its large screen and heavy build (over 8 lbs), it was generally seen as a non-portable desktop replacement that was too heavy for regular travel.
