HP 's Kayak XM600 was named as a finalist in the 'best technical user computer' category. This was during the fifth annual Best New Products Awards at FOSE 2000, which took place from 18-20 April at the Washington DC Convention Center. Approximately 20,500 technology buyers attended the trade show from across the globe, to see demonstrations from more than 450 IT companies. The Kayak XU800 was also recognized for its 3D Open GL specifications, described as being for above the other lightweight machines that were tested.
