The pinnacle XS35 spec provides you with 500GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, a HDMI output, and the finishing touch of NVIDIA’s scrumptious Ion 2 powering 1080p video playback. Newegg doesn’t seem to yet have that SKU available, nevertheless it’s priced the alternative two at $240 and $290, suggesting a value somewhere north of $300 for the full package. Full press release after the break.
Update: And likely enough, the Ion 2-equipped SX35 has also made its Newegg debut, yours for $380. Thanks, RatioTitle!
