Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS Notebook

Zitat

Creative's Sound Blaster line offers the most feature-complete sound cards in the business, and the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook is a logical progression for the Audigy 2 family. It brings the entire feature set to laptop gamers and audio enthusiasts, and from our testing, it's a solid implementation that will spruce up any laptop audio sub-system. It also brings EAX 4.0, DTS, Dolby Digital, THX, and DVD-Audio to the laptop market--something no other mobile audio solution has done. At $129, the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook is pretty easy on the wallet, too.

Some have wondered aloud whether solutions based on Intel's HD Audio specification would eat Creative's core business—PCI sound cards—for lunch. Given the spotty offerings we've seen to date, and HD Audio's continued inability to render DVD-Audio at full resolution, it would seem that rumors of Creative's demise may have been exaggerated. But bringing a full-featured audio offering to the still-growing laptop market opens up a new market for Creative, and puts mobile computing on more even footing with its desktop counterpart. If you take your gaming on the run, then the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook should be on your holiday wish list.
