Very nice

I love the XT series..and so nearly bought a 2nd hand one instead of my TX2..but I just wish they would put a faster processor in them...I know their target market doesn't need to run more than office, so they don't need to, and it means they can run cool and quiet...but would be nice to have a better chip

Looks like decent competition to the toughbooks tho..

By that logic, why do they have up to 5GB RAM?

Also, weird amount

How does the heat get out? Can see some vents at the side on the video, but is the heatsink and fan sealed from the rest of the board?

Low powered components and thermal interface with the chassis I guess. Can't see it doing too well in very hot environments though.

Not very round. For a football.
