Commodore’s flagship XX gaming rig gets reviewed

Filed under: Desktops

Those looking to relive a hint of their childhood in a big way need look no further than Commodore’s high-end gaming PC lineup, as the vintage logo and unmistakable name will certainly be found on its newest rigs. ‘Course, all this mushy razzmatazz doesn’t mean much if it won’t perform, and considering the £3,000 ($6,153) or so that the flagship XX will set you back, we’re sure you’d like to know how this beast stacks up before you pull that trigger. TrustedReviews was able to get ahold of a finalized unit and put it through the standard 2D, 3D, and other speed-related paces, and while it wasn’t up to the same level as an Alienware or Dell XPS in terms of noise, build quality, and case design, the actual performance seemed to be right on target. Overall, the XX was deemed a solid buy for those who didn’t mind the far-out artwork and less-than-stellar construction, but since you’d be saving some £500 ($1,026) over a similar offering from Alienware, that sacrifice may be one worth making.
