Alienware Prepping "Allpowerful" Laptop for Next Month/

LOL.... too many noobs thinking that it was going to Core i7 was getting me pretty agitated.

 

me to .... me too....

hey Gophn want a m17?

i have no room in my SIG for any thing since i put up all those how to guide they take up 900 of my 1000 letters

 

mr. moo did you just have an aliengasm?

 

Im seriously reconsidering my choice of the languishing discounted M17 I was promised. Would they give me an M17x on the cheap? I doubt it, but I will sure ask.

 

no ?

i have wanted this notebook so im am gong to try nd get it

 

Its going to be quite an arms race this summer. Who will come out on top? Asus? Dell? Clevo? MSI? All of them? Stay tuned!

 

yea

sneaky do you know if dell was pushing AW to let them unlock the multipler in the bios?

i expect dell would want that

 

I dont have the slightest clue. Theres always been a reluctance in Alienware in the past in allowing too much leeway and maneuvers that could be financially prohibitive if customers fry their hardware too much. Will Dell shake things up? Its possible either way I think. We will know soon enough!

 

It's horrible...

 

TROLLIE lol

 

I know by now everyone is getting tired of the mention of i7

but in a month or two do you think they will introduce a mobile i7 for the platform?
or anything else really that would give me reason to wait a couple months to purchase it rather than right away?

Im always skeptical of buying 1st generation...anything

 

.....i don't even want to answer this but


NO

go buy the sager 9820


there will not be a i7 and sli 280's for AWHILE

 

OT but still somewhat relevant.

It is too bad I am getting out of this field.

are you frikkin kidding me man? that is one hot peice of a** right there!

 

Everybody who wanted to pull the trigger on the m17 , when 4870 are released, are now going to buy the NEW m17x ...
The base price is tempting even though im on a budget

Any1 know much will be the final price with shipping. MSRP or how to call it? Also i understand that 260m is roughly one 4870?

All Hail the Allpowerful

 

It looks so hot!

I will grab this no matter what they charge me if only I've not get my Sager .

 

one 260 is like 2/3 of a 4870
maybe even half

 

Sweet looking rig. Wonder what the upgrade cost will be with the second card. Hopefully Intel will also release the next generation extreme processors like the X9500.

"An optional 1920-by-1200-resolution edge-to-edge LCD" -What are people opinion on this? I know Dell already has systems with this type of LCD but I've never seen one.

 

i unno but i am dying to sell my system

i am offically up for sale

and i will be purchaseing this laptop

 

are you sure?

how does it compare to crossfire 3870 then?

 

1 280m gtx is less then xfire 3870's

 

I was not just referring the i7. (and I said a mobile version of the i7, not desktop)

---> " or anything else really that would give me reason to wait a couple months to purchase it rather than right away?

still need opinions on this please

 

cant be
you probably want me to buy your whitebook ! lol

 

no it was proven in benchmarks. We out score it in 3dmark 06 and in game benchmarks


i wouldn't mind it if you do buy it though

 

notebookcheck
says 260m p8600 , 9770 3dmarks (so w/ x9100 its arround 11000)
280m x9100 , 11767
3870x2 , x9100 11300

 

LMAO never trust notebook check

i score 14,900 with my t9400 @ 3.08 ghz

the highest a whitebook has gotten is 17,050

 

i cant find reviews of 260m
only one
some help please

 

look in the sager forum

 

Can't keep both?

 

lol no i cannot afford to keep both i just want to downgrade for now

 

Wasn't there a list somewhere at NBR ranking GPUs?

 

mandrake , the ibm's are so ****ing ugly

 

How reliable is it? Who knows...

Laptop Video Graphics Cards - Benchmark List

Still lots of blanks left to be filled out.

I'm still a bit worried about buying it right away..

would it be safe to wait a couple months to purchase it rather than immediately (alienware would add diff. upgrades)?

A.K.A. new mobile nvidia/ati cards coming out soon, mobile DDR3-1600, etc..

 

not reliable

a whitebook with dual 3870 does not score 11,xxx with an x9100 rob scores 15.5 k



dude are you serious ddr3 1600?

whoo poo cuz ddr2 and ddr 3 are so much different buy the thing you keep waiting then better stuf will be out but ..... thats how technology is the longer you wait the better it gets but its a never ending cycle

 

Thanks for your opinion...although don't remember asking for it. I was asking about the edge to edge LCD. Is that a worthy upgrade?

 

thats your opinion

i have never seen it ...

wonder how long this is gonna take to sell....

 

Is that a better avatar?

 

Wow, again...you don't answer the question at all, and are very hard to understand btw (almost as bad as 1337 speak).

My question, again (you dont have to answer mr. moo if you dont want to)
isssss if we are near/around the corner of a new technology being released...a.k.a. within the next month or so. Not next year, not after that, but within the next couple months [Not to mention E3, the electronic expo is around the corner].

An upgrade worthy of waiting for? or theres nothing really important being released and I wouldn't regret buying one now?

simple question : )

 

Calpella comes to mind.

 

no capella is the next CPU platform being release and that saposed to be in the fall. AMD is coming back to mobile computers but so far no release date.


and with technology if you wait for better things then you will always be waiting ( sorry i am tired )

 

I know it's cpu I just thought it would be a worthy upgrade.

 

most games now-a-days are GPU bottle neck

 

a little something for you guys.

Let's face it it'll always be the disks. SSD is a step in the right direction.....now I gotta go find one for this.

 

be sure of it

any1 know how to change my nickname without a new account? my nickname is like a dog name
2 years ago it didnt sound that bad

 

lol, Mandrake is the name of my beagle. My actual name is Dan. I think a Mod would have to change the name for you.

 

Haha, love it!

She is a beauty but way too much hype/price for something that isn't all that interesting or "All Powerful".

Anyone else think that the front of the AP looks like the grille of a muscle car (can't put my finger on the exact one)?

 

charger maybe read the article
