One of the leading UK performance system designers Cryo computing are announcing a range of new laptops. If these are anything like their previous systems I have reviewed then we are in for a treat.
The systems are named after ancient Celtic tribes of Britain, Iceni being probably the best known as it was ruled by Queen Boudica (Boadicea) who lead the revolt against the Roman occupation in AD60.

I love this company, I read your reviews Zardon in the past and their attention to detail is stunning.
Wouldnt mind seeing a few pictures, what chassis are they using? Clevo? modded?
That celtic concept idea is a stroke of genuis. imagine if they painted them with colours of the tribes? how awesome would that be ! I would imagine they are clevo chassis as most companies use them.
I adore their little nano systems. a tech mans wet dream
Specs look good ICENI is incredible !
@ Roger, looking at the specs leaves no doubt in my mind that they are all Clevo based models.
Libri Mercia = W860CU, Libri Parisi = W870CU, Libri Carvetii = W880CU, Libri Iceni = X8100
post updated, managed to get some pictures from them 🙂
Really looking forward to seeing some good photos of these Zardon, when is the review due up?
I bought a nano based on your review Z last year. look forward to seeing what their laptops are like.
The low end model appeals to me, as pricing is actually quite good, I hope that is the one you get.
Very well specified, as would be expected from these guys
