WHEN IS Alienware's showing at E3?

Hey mb
you would think that there would be a decent demand for a 13 inch gamer laptop.
11" 13" 15" and 17" prtetty much covers it all -
If they would have had a 13" instead of the 11.6" I would have gone that route, but I'm really digging this little guy. -
I am considering one now that they have I core processors, but a 13 inch model would be ordered in a flash
-
Something truly amazing would have to happen at E3 in order to make me cancel my M15X order. -
It would be nice if they did put out an M13x; just more options for everyone else.
With that said, I will still go with the smallest possible, the M11x, even if they did announce a 13-inch. I already have the M17x, so smaller is better for me in this case. The perfect package. I am just delaying until after E3 to order (the discount code is until June 30).
Let's see what they have. Looking forward to your news Charles. -

Cant wait until we get to hear some of the tidbits that AW has in store for the new year -
The i540 is now available for the M17x and other dell laptops. The 940xm isn't there nor are the other x40 derivatives.
-
i540 was there (at least on the Canadian site) already when I got my R2, about 3-4 months ago. It's also present on Intel's website from the moment i5 was announced.
But other x40 model are probably less than a month away.
BTW, i540M will be replaced by i580M -
Oh I guess I never noticed. Well hopefully Dell releases the 940xm bios soon. -
-
-
I think it's not about whether or not such system was used in the past and how many problems it had, but rather in the fact that D900F and the upcoming X7200 are hot sellers with 0 competition. I'd jump on it eyes wide shut in Dell's stead.
Also, it would be a steal with the AW quality and design, RGB LED, backlit keyboard, etc...
<<< The fleet needs a Mothership! -
I'm hoping for some sort of update on the M15x, mainly a newer video card, 260m is getting old now.
Need to buy this laptop for school soon. Does anyone know when we will know what they have in store for us? Do they have a press conference? -

I was hopping for a 5870 or 480m, not a huge fan of ati. I plan on using it to project 3d blu ray and my nvidia vision wont work with a ati card.

I'm not sure. I think E3 starts on June 15th and ends on the 17th IIRC. I think Chaz has a meeting with Alienware on the 16th or 17th, he will undoubtedly post something about his discussions with them, along with pics of new products and stuff.

@ Crylo,
So, what re your boldest expectations from E3? -

The word - latency comes to mind along with GTX
But yeah, I guess in 2 days something will happen - or not.
-
@Aikimox, Imagine? that would be at least depressing.... LOL but I believe they've learned their lesson and this time they won't repeat their mistakes....
-
I have no doubt Alienware will move on a 480 notebook, Nvidia has contracts and money to make, and Alienware is one of the very few companies that cater to the 480 mobile card. -
I have a question. As of today I plan to buy an m15x model with
ATI HD 5850
i7 Q820 processor
Do you think anything drastic will change at E3, such as a whole new design for the m15x or a new model to replace it? Or maybe a video card that would up that one? I want to stick with ATI though..
What about RGB LED, is that possible with the m15x? -
-
-
5850, according to the benchmark tests 260gtx is miles better?
-
Edit: And a 3d capable screen would be nice! -
Most benchmarks test the GDDR3 version of the 5850. The GDDR5 version of the 5850 is better than any non-Fermi Nvidia card.

Go down to the gaming benchmarks. -
Yes I see, the 5850 now supports dirext x 11 and GDDR5, best buy!
-
Even a single 480M's porridge would be too hot for the M17x without a cooling redesign but the cooler porridge of a GF104 GPU would be just right. -
-
480M tested in D901F - gaming benchmarks.

Notebookcheck: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480M
Hmmmm...just a thought here but just looked at the 480m vs. 5870 on crysis.....on ultra settings, the 5870 pips it which surprises me! -
-
So to conclude, unless AW comes up with some way of making the M17X with 480SLI then the CF5870 will stay kind of the hill for high end gaming until ATI comes out with the Island GPU... -

For such a small jump in peformance i think Nvidia will find it hard to compete with the 5870 in terms of price to performance.
Also a point to note maybe the fact that the tested 480m laptop also had a higher cpu than the 5870 tested laptop which had a 820qm so it would or should perform much better dont you think? -
-
I'm still looking more forward to the GTX 460M! I wanna know how much better it is than the 5850 cause i might return my M15x if its going to be significantly better.
-
The M15X thermal design is limited and I am not sure it could handle such a card.
Then again it's only speculation... AW might come out with refreshes able to handle all of that...
We will know within days... Hang in there. -

The figures that i looked at provided by notebookcheck for the GTX480m as opposed to the ATI 5870 (both singular and not c/f or sli) seem to show very little "ground shaking" improvements over and above the 5870. Some gains, some losses....
The 480m tested was coupled with a higher cpu so not quite a fair comparison, actually would give the 480m an edge if anything....actually, the 480m tested laptop had a desktop 940 cpu and 6gb ram as oposed to the results obtained for the 5870 which was tested using an 820qm and 4gb
Looks to me that all the Nvidia marketing about being the latest ATI beater was a load of tosh....i mean, yes...it may be slightly better in some areas but doesnt warrant a markedly higher price IMHO.
Also, thinking about TDP, the ATI's are much friendlier than the 480m .... having c/f 5870's is more "economical" than having sli 480m's which would perform quite nicely as a portable gas cooker!
(I am new to this stuff, correct me if i am wrong but this is my intepretation of things when comparing the two) -
Is there anyone from notebookreview that will do the E3 coverage?
-
Hey if I was in LA I would...
-
I think Charles mentioned he was going to be meeting with AW during E3
-
I am in LA and I would go if notebookreview could get me a pass... -
Guys, look at the GPU-Z sensors screenie - 84C @ load but not even the max! And probably just the core temp, the memory would easily hit 100C in Crysis, IMHO.
