AW gaming survey, Hints to 12inch gaming book.

Take the AW gaming survey. We might be albe to decide if AW makes a 12 inch gaming notebook.


http://www.alienware.com/Surveys/AlienSurvey.aspx?Id=183380100523

 

why would we want that? would not be nearly as powerful as it's big siblings.

 

that is why I said "I would not purchase this type of system" on the survey, they must think there is a market.
It could be nice if they used nvidia Ion with a 9600mGT. any thing below that is just a waste.

 

why would i want a 12" notebook????
Can it even game on it?
lol

 

Portability .

I always have a netbook with me (I'm writing this in one ) and a netbook which could run CSS, L4D would be awesome

 

No, but having a 12 inch gaming notebook would be useful. It'd be very portable if we wanted to work on it on the go with a better battery life than our systems but it would be nice still being able to play a bit of the likes of Crysis on it, even if on low-medium graphics. There are already 13 inch laptops (not even specifically gaming) that could manage Crysis, so it's well within possibility.

It likely wouldn't be a primary system but rather a secondary to use away from home, on the go.

 

N10 already prove that exists a pretty big market for sub-12 gaming netbooks . And yeah ion with 9600m GT would be incredible.

N10 can run BF2 (high), CSS (high), L4D (medium), TF2 (medium - low) .

Don't sub-estimate the power of those little machines .

 

That's not bad gaming performance, and that's on a 9300M if I'm not mistaken isn't it? The Dell Studio XPS 13 has a 9400M and 9200M in HybridSLI putting out the power of a 9500M supposedly...It could be possible to fit this into a sub-12 inch notebook but it'd need a damn good cooling system so we're not looking at something thin. As well as that I doubt we'd be getting anything more than an Atom processor, unless they really do manage to get good cooling in it.

I seriously doubt we'll be getting a 9600M into it. Not enough physical space for starters and then there's the cooling...

 

Already been a thread on it:

And why would you need an Ion with a 9600m GT? Anything faster than a 9300m won't support GeForce Boost and even if it did the 9400M IGP is already bottlenecked enough by an Atom.

 

id be interested, and put that in there.
made sure they knew multiple USB and SSD would be mandatory as well...

 

Yep is a 9300m

Atom @ 2.1ghz doesn't bottleneck that much and BTW... Who said atom?, apple managed to put a very low consumption on macbook air... Who knows

 

I've just thought of that. They fit, what, a low power C2D at something like 2.0GHz in there with a tiny fan and only a single vent for intake and exhaust into the Macbook Air. We could be seeing that with a 9400M and 9300M in GeForceBoost. That'd actually be a pretty solid gaming system in a 12-inch or less form factor with a reasonably good battery life.

 

I'd like to see a 12" notebook with a GT 240M. 40nm, 128 bit, 48 shaders, GDDR3, it's do-able.

 

That'd be pretty nice actually. It might not be likely but a GTS 250M would be very nice.

 

What about Falcon NW's I/O?

 

I took that survey also but I told them to fix the M17X first before getting out a new PC...


LOL

 

I could care less about gaming on one, I just bought an AW Desktop for that, I just want a 12 in with shiny flashy lights.

 

i can't believe you did ....... i feel pity for you

 

You're mad. Never mind anything else they offer, the desktops are REALLY, REALLY overpriced. Easily buy it from a different manufacturer or build it yourself, and if it really matters there's usually a few AW desktop cases on eBay.

I still laugh when on the main page it says 'Now overclocked to a blistering 3.86GHz!' for the 3.2GHz extreme. My friend has his 2.66GHz overclocked to 2.8GHz...lol.

 

the laptops are not really really overpriced


they are more then average but its the name and style you pay for.....getting tired of hearing it .....

 

I never said the laptops are overpriced. Why do you think I bought one?

I said 'never mind anything else they sell' or something like that (can't be bothered to look back ) which wasn't referring to the laptops. The M17 is still pretty much the least amount of money you can get a gaming machine of its calibre for and while I would really like to see the price of an M17x down in the UK that's well priced too.

Edit: Yay, 500th post!

BIG TIME

 

Er, he obviously meant "desktops". Notice how Steve had commented about buying a "desktop" and EVilCorsair had BOLDED "desktop" and said "Easily buy it from a different manufacturer or build it yourself, and if it really matters there's usually a few AW desktop cases on eBay.".

 

it was a joke .... i could tell. It was the wording of his post


yes i was joking i agree their desktops are ...

 

...I've fixed the fail typo Yes I meant desktops, lol.

 

that makes more sense then my attempt to fix it

 

That was an attempt to fix it?

 

heh lol

 

TO ANY ONE NEW TO ALIENWARE


http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/product/27864/review/sentia_m3200.html

it's not new for Alienware @ all

 

I have to agree that the desktops r so expensive but... I want this case

 

Actually, with student discount, free shipping, and the extra 300 dollar special they were giving me, I bought a decent Desktop without having to hassle with building one myself, Taking summer classes means little to no time.

I got this:

Area-51 X58
Intel® Core™ i7-920 2.66
(RAID 0) - 1.5TB (2 x 750GB)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 295
CORSAIR XMS3 12GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
750 Watt Multi-GPU Approved Power Supply
Liquid Cooling

for only $2000..00. And really that ain't to bad, espically when you look at XPS, atleast now my desktop matches my laptop.

 

Sorry for double post,

P.S. The memory I bought from Newegg. for about a hundred or so.

 

you still could of built it cheaper
