Digital Storm on Monday announced a "new breed of affordable laptops" the company pegs as ideal for a variety of multimedia apps and high performance gaming, all while intelligently sipping power.

The new xm15 line utilizes Nvidia's Optimus Hybrid technology, which as you know by now is an effective way to extend battery life without any user intervention. Nvidia's Optimus technology auto-switches between the integrated and discrete graphics chipsets based on what the task calls for, giving users a performance boost when needed.

A baseline config starts out at $1,000 and includes an Intel Core i5 520M processor, 4GB of DDR3-1066 memory, 320GB hard drive, Nvidia GT 425M GPU, and a DVD burner.

There are three other starting points to choose from, including the "Level 4: Ultimate" for $1,400. This one comes standard with a Core i7 640M processor, 8GB of DDR3-1066 RAM, 500GB hard drive, and a 6X Blu-ray reader. Other features include built-in eSATA and USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, 802.11n Wi-Fi.
