Totally New Dell/Alienware - Summer 2010? (Computex/E3?)

i hate waiting, i want hard facts and pictures NOW!!!!

edit: if i were not in belgium i'd go to the E3 myself

 

Patience is a virtue and all good things come to those who wait.......that being said, where the blo**y He*l is all the news around this joint!!!!!!

Us poor Brits are 8hrs ahead of LA so i will be getting ready for bed before i get any news i would imagine !

 

indeed ! hopefully there will be a lot of news tomorrow

 

um i thought it was agreed, that there is no news to report? why is there still speculation going on? Charles confirmed Alienware had nothing at their booth that was new....

 

Looking at your spec, that must of cost a fortune, I only got the 720qm, 4gb Ram, 5850 graphics card (Because in the uk this is a GDDR5 which is better than the 260m), and the usual stuff. I did get 2 frees years business warranty including accidental damage.

 

I agree.....what IS with all the speculation going on??? M11x just got refreshed, M15x wont be refreshed until early next year and the M18x is rumored to be months away yet, they won't be showing the new M17x/M18x at E3, too early. Nothing to really talk about...although everyone can come back in August to rejump the speculation engine

 

Nice setup, I went for the 260m because I have a 3D projector and wanna do 3D bluray. I already have the Nvidia Vision kit.

 

What!
You guys didn't hear about the AW........
Kidding, but it is extremely frustrating for someone waiting for any news of which there probably is none.

 

How did you manage to get 2 yrs warranty upgrade F.O.C??? - im like spock here (all ears)

 

Quite true.....im just waiting for nothing basically - then im happy as a sand boy in a sand pit eating sand worms all day long

 

Last year was much more interesting...
YouTube - Alienware introduces M17x Gaming Notebook at e3

 

3D projector, that sounds awesome. I have always had a Mac, so I am quite new to the Pc/Windows world and 3D. So how does the 3D projector work, do you need to have 3d gaming/films?

Lol, Well Spock, Scotty down in the engineering department took to long to sort things out for my order, and after numerous wrong quotations I got compensated for my time/troubles!

 

There is no news.

If there was anything big it would have been leaked by now.

 

Why do female agents with Aviator like shades look so damn hot?


That's the way it should be done if they do release something this e3

 

Probably because they are hot anyway.

 

Well you need a projector, tv or computer monitor that does 120Hz, you buy the kit that comes with the glasses.

Install the software and almost all games become 3d.

For movies you need Power DVD 3D which allows you to play 3d blu rays.

 

Ahhhhh i see, "scotty" obviously "dinne ha' the poooooower, cap'n" to sort your order....im glad you got compo from captain kirk tho....now where can i get his number...hmmmmmmm

 

Sounds like you know your stuff, very impressive. I'll have to have a look at 3D gaming and films. Avatar was brilliant in 3D, and if this is the quality, then I need to invest!

 

Yep, Kirk did good!

 

Is Charles going to write in a new thread or make an article on the actual notebookreview website?

 

He'll most likely post an article and then post a link to it in this thread.

 

Im looking forward to reading Charles' report....although im not expecting much to come from it (which in some ways makes me happy as my order is only 15 miles awayfrom me, on hold for delivery until shortly after E3.

Im not expecting anything to come for the m17x this time around and as i need a laptop now, it would make me quite happy to take delivery of mine rather than another "long wait" for something which may or may not happen even then!

Matter of fact being that sli 480 isnt gonna happen (not that i want it anyway) or single 480 (c/f 5870 seems better anyhow).

New m18x (speculative) is gonna be way off regardless.....

The only thing i was kinda holding out for was USB 3.0 which would be minor but worthwhile.

Ho Hum.....guess its still just a case of watch this space......fervently.

 

Hey guys - I had my meeting earlier today with Alienware, it went very well. They like all the activity and feedback in these forums and hope you guys keep it up.

I snapped some pics (attached). They have the new M11x R2s on site.

FYI there was nothing 'new' announced save for the M11x R2. There will be some new CPUs coming in them - namely the i3-330UM or whatever, and the Pentium U5400.

 

Anything on the M17x Charles? - nice pics BTW

 

Nothing new on the M17x I'm afraid - at least nothing was mentioned.

They hinted there will be more products coming with the stealth design theme but that's about it . . .

 

Your so lucky Chaz

 

And by products they mean... laptops? Any hints about that?

 

Ok so time to order...

 

Thats what they want you to do.

Ninja R3 anyone?

(JK)

 

Nice to see NFS World Online on the desktop and M11X... :GEEK:

Anyway, back on topic, I'm glad I can order my M15X now that nothing new was announced! I will pull the trigger tonight.

Also...can you elaborate more on the "stealth products?"

 

What about waiting for a CPU line refresh?

 

NO MORE, OKAY! NO MORE!... *sobs* Just, no more.

 

Using that logic...one would wait forever to purchase a computer!!

 

Time to call UPS and tell 'em to get it here pronto !

 

Cant thank you enough Charles....at last i can now accept delivery knowing no imminent changes are to be made!

****breathing sighs of relief****

 

Well I am pretty sure the 740, 840 and 940 will be available very very shortly on the Dell's website but I don't care because the increase in performance would be barely noticeable and definitely insignificant while gaming.

 

You gona stick with the 820 and re order then?

 

I am re-ordering soon. I would today but I will be out of the country for more than a month very soon therefore I don't mind waiting until July or even August for re-ordering.

Unfortunately I may not last that long... I might just give in and order very very soon.

 

No FERMi, now that's dissapointing

or USB 3.0 either

unless these are going to be a smalll update later on

 

Go for it Joe, doesnt seem like you have much to lose by doing so......

 

No, it's not. Fermi is hot...too hot... this hot!

No logic, just info - x40's will be here in less than a month and will cost about the same as their x20 brothers cost now.

 

The x40 won't have that much of an increase, compare the 920 and 940, there is 0.13Ghz diffrence. I can oc that without even touching the voltages.

 

Realistically, you don't need more than i5-520M, aesthetically - there's a huge difference between 920XM an 940XM :laugh: :tongue:

 

Care to explain, I was under the impression that its still based on the same chip.

 

Same chip, same everything and like you said only 0.13GHz bonus. But it looks cool
Now seriously, the only reason I'd go wait for it is the same or nearly the same price. Also, it's less than a month away.
Of course, if you're in a rush - forget it.

 

Considering though that it's 130MHz in every core... it's not that small

 

I doubt it will be less than a month. The 940xm is schduled for a Q3-Q4 release which puts it around end of Septemnber. Same as last year's 920xm release and the year before that for the QX9300m

 

Dell is already offering the x40QM's.

 

Any mention of improving the touchpad on the M15x?
That's the only thing that needs improving.

 

Yes, I remember this article but I think it was one of Dell's mess ups. I think they are all gone now.
