Cizmo CX15 Sports Intel

Relatively unknown German notebook maker Cizmo announced one of the first Intel-Montevina-equipped notebooks on Tuesday, the CX15. Besides sporting Intel’s latest mobile performance processor, also known as the Centrino 2, the CX15 will include a high-end graphics card, and a slick black design.

Cizmo will option the CX15 with Montevina processors running at 2.26GHz (P8400), 2.4GHz (P8600) and 2.53GHz (P9400). All offer the same high-speed 1066Mhz front-side bus. For graphics, the CX15 gets Nvidia’s GeForce 8800M GTX 512MB card, which offers dual-view display capability and HDCP support.

Other features include a 15.4-inch display, 2GB of DDR3 RAM that can be expanded to 4GB, an eSATA port for adding fast external drives, 7-in-1 card reader, and 2-megapixel webcam. A Blu-ray drive will also be available as an upgrade, although a CD/DVD combo drive will come standard.

The company lists the computer for €1,259.66 ($1,996) before taxes of 19 percent, which bring it right up to an even €1,499 ($2,386). The CX15 is available for pre-order now, but will begin shipping around June 13, after Intel formally introduces the new platform.

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage

Two AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on a pink surface.

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place

This tiny ThinkPad can’t quite keep up with the MacBook Air M2

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
