Laptop audio is generally something you tolerate or snigger at since most laptops come with the kind of audio depth and volume of Mickey Mouse on helium.
Creative Labs has just announced its solution, the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook, an audio upgrade that uses the ExpressCard slot. It comes with Creative’s X-Fi technologies, like X-Fi Crystalizer, which enhances the detail and punch usually lost with compressed audio files.
It sports line-level and digital optical inputs/outputs as well as microphone and headphone jacks. You can also hook it up to 5.1 or 7.1 surround speakers via an optional docking module.
Prices have to be finalised but the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook is expected to cost £60 and the docking module around £20. Due out at the end of the month. Jump now for a shot of the docking module.-Martin Lynch

Presumably these will be afflicted with the same horrible problems that the desktop x-fi range has. Buyers beware.
