That means you can start expecting to see the new mobile graphics chips in your favorite high end laptop manufacturers product lines. They both work with DX9 and DX10 and include PowerMizer tech to keep power usage down when you aren’t gaming or watching HD content.

I had the pleasure of toying around with the Alienware laptop we got in the other day, and I must admit, I am impressed with how far mobile graphics has come. I mean, my last laptop had 64MB of shared graphics memory on a Radeon 9600 chipset, needless to say these chips, and those in the Alienware are a significant improvement.

Alienware Area 51 M9750 review – Media powerhouse

By Reece Bailey Schofield on Monday, Nov 19th 2007 No Comments

An Alienware computer is a mythical beast. Ever since Alienware started making computers in 1996, gamers and power hungry PC addicts have drooled over their speed, processing power, and overall design. This is the first time I’ve ever spent more than a couple hours with an Alienware machine, so I wasn’t truly privy to the finer points of an Alienware. All I can really say is that I’ve never been so impressed with the performance of a notebook computer.

Alienware Wireless speaker get a clay mold

By James Allan Brady on Monday, Oct 15th 2007 No Comments

It’s not even a real clay mold; it’s a digital representation of a clay mold. All I have to say is by release, they better look a lot better, color schemes and a nice mesh or honeycomb grill could really be all it takes to fix their looks, the shape is fine for the most part.

Some features would be good too, so far all we have is that they will be wireless and that they could look something close to this. Personally, I am hoping for Bluetooth, go all the way Alienware, make a Bluetooth profile that allows two audio outputs to be paired together to work with a single audio source, I know you can do it.

New Alienware laptop boasts 640GB of storage space

By Chris Scott Barr on Friday, Sep 21st 2007 No Comments

How much hard drive space does your laptop have? I’m going to guess that it doesn’t have more than your desktop. However, if you maxed-out one of Alienware’s new laptops, that might not be the case.

Alienware’s super-high-end Media PC reviewed

By Chris Davies on Monday, Jul 2nd 2007 No Comments

Early in June when Alienware announced the Hangar18 HD Entertainment Centre I momentarily wondered whether anyone would be daft enough to buy one. Yes, it’s indecently well specified, but at a minimum of $2k (and then the obvious expense of pairing it with a decent surround sound setup, HDTV screen and all the rest of the gubbins) it all seems to be edging into semi-installed territory when for the price you could probably piece together a reasonably similar system and still have cash left over for a few extra toys. Computer Shopper have shown me the error of my ways, however.

Alienware is well known for their awesome gaming rigs and very cool cases. I have always preferred to build my own systems and use decent looking cases, but with the release of their new Aurora: Star Wars Edition PCs.

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Jun 7th 2007 No Comments

Here’s another one of those times where I wish I was frightfully rich, as opposed to living in a small hutch with a cellphone made of twigs and only the heat from its power adaptor to heat beans. Alienware have announced a beast of a Media Center PC, the Hanger18, which squeezes some impressive HD hardware into a surprisingly discrete box.

Dell, Alienware ship first PC’s with 1TB drives

By Chris Scott Barr on Thursday, Mar 15th 2007 No Comments

Back when I got my first computer, I had a friend that had a 1GB hard drive while I was stuck with a mere 600MB. He took every opportunity to rub in the fact that he had an entire gigabyte drive. Now here’s your chance to be that friend with the giant amount of storage space.
