History

@Xi Computer was founded in 1987 by John Alcorn, Denis Baggi & Robert Bragaglia, as Xi Computer. The business was named to reflect the company goal of delivering performance “X”cellence based on “i”ntel microprocessors. Capitalizing on a previous successful design of a Digital Research MP/M Z80 based computer, Robert designed two motherboards, with PAL discrete chipset, based on the Intel i386 & i486 CPU, entirely locally manufactured. The company started to sell its line of tower & desktops computers in 1988. Success and brand recognition in the CAD world came with a CADalyst Highly Recommended Award in 1992,[2] for an Intel 486 based desktop with fastest AutoCAD benchmark score.[3] Subsequent awards on December of 1993 a “Byte Best”[4] and on December 1994 a “Most Expandable”[5] using a dual CPU (Pentium Pro) from BYTE/NSTL Lab Report, affirmed the company reputation for delivering performance oriented computing solutions. Cadence, C-Net, PC-World, Desktop Engineering and CADalyst have all recognized, during the years, @Xi products for their performance and value. In 2001 the company re-incorporated in Delaware appending the “@” in front of their name, in tribute to the majority of the business being entertained on the internet.
