The notebook also builds in a MPEG-2 codec and has a 13.3-inch 1,024 x 768 TFT screen driven by an S3 Virge MX chipset with 4Mb SGRAM, making it suitable for video training and other niche multimedia tasks.

The unit is based on a 166MHz MMX Pentium processor with 32Mb EDO RAM and 3.24Gb hard drive and comes with a lithium ion battery as standard.

List price is £3,999 + VAT.
