I love my Tibook, it’s been a good friend and partner to me for the last two and a half years. But the sound it produces from it’s external speakers make me twinge. I have all this music and podcasts on my TiBook and the only way I can stand to listen to it is with earphones. Until now.

Altec Lansing has just introduced the XT1 system. In addition to its thin, design with removable stands, the XT1 delivers great sound and surprisingly deep bass thanks to four full-range neodymium micro drivers and bass enhancement technology. The XT1 is USB-powered, there’s no need for a power supply and no batteries to forget. Plug it into your USB port, press play, and you’ll be listening to the best portable sound you’ve ever heard from a laptop. Pack it up in its deluxe carrying case, and you’re ready for your next trip.

What’s really impressive is that the XT1 comes with a slew of accessories to make sure you have the right cord or plug for any situation. The MSRP is $129.95. I am impressed with the sound, the design, and the whole package of accessories. You can check out the specs and more by heading to Surf-Bits.com.
