Where are the new Alienwares?

Well that's ironic. You talk about poor quality but you're going to consider an Acer laptop if they make it socketed?

Acer? The company that makes some of the cheapest computers around?

Ah yes because there's only two categories of laptops:

1. Plays everything on max.
2. Everything else.

I mean who needs a 2k laptop that can do everything WELL. Does it have to be the best in it's class at everything? No it doesn't.

My gaming experience on my laptop is perfect. That makes it a solid performer for ME. Just because it doesn't hit ultra on 100% of games doesn't make my expectations low, it just means I have other things to that I consider equally important.

If you, papusan, Daniel, ashtrix really think you're making even a 0.001% dent in alienware sales you are delusional enough that I have this lovely bridge to sell you.

Face it, outside of this forum and techinferno nobody knows who you are or even gives a **** who you are.

Dell, Alienware, MSI, Asus, Clevo etc etc etc will all continue to exist next year, the year after, the year after and nothing you have done or will do will change that.

This forum and techinferno is nothing but a tiny tiny fraction of their potential sales. And at the end of the day the only people you are convincing on this forum are people who were already convinced in the first place and always preferred enthusiast machines.

 

Thank you for being a voice of reason in a space where reason is rare. As a person in the middle of it, your opinions carry even more weight. You are speaking from the perspective of someone whose quality of experience has been diminished by compromised products. You are the antithesis of the proverbial Kool-Aid drinker that cannot face reality or admit their preference is to compromise performance for something else they value more than performance. You cannot have it both ways, so kudos for speaking the truth. You rock.

To me the only option is to say no to filth and refuse to compromise on BGA trash under any circumstances. If enthusiasts and truly hard-core gamers give them any wiggle room on this we will get more of the same nonsense. There has to be zero tolerance for it if we expect anything to change for the better.

I'd rather go back to desktop and use a Chromebook or cheap sub-$500 notebook for mobility with no performance capacity whatsoever than spend any amount of money on a compromised gamer-boy BGA turdbook. This is not about hating people with different opinions or not accommodating individual preferences. It's about hating OEMs that don't offer solutions for every need, but are not the least bit hesitant to tell lies about the compromised products they do offer and misrepresent them as something they are not, and never will be.

Alienware seems to excel in this space, and they consistently pitch their filth as something truly amazing when that is clearly not the case. Even if they are or will become the king of turdbooks, that is not a kingdom enthusiasts want to be part of. It's wrong for them to use deceptive marketing to try to lure in gullible shoppers.

 

They actually don't misrepresent them. You just seem to you have a different definition of gaming laptops and performance than the 99.9% of the world.

But no you're totally correct. Dell/Asus/Clevo/MSI/Sager etc etc etc should definitely dedicated resources into making monster $5000 laptop that like 10 people buy every year. It's definitely a logical decision.

Did we say we have 100% max performance laptops? Nope we said we care about other things than just straight performance. So who exactly are you talking about? Because the people you are replying to are fully aware that their laptops aren't the most powerful thing in the world and it doesn't bother them at all.

That's why I'm sure you live in the biggest house on this planet, and drive the most powerful and expensive car in the world, oh and of course top of the line business jets to fly you around everywhere right? Because #nocomprise. Jesus Christ.

Guess its time for me to start making fun of you and your choices in houses, cars, planes, boats, etc because you compromised.

 

if a single sentence make you upset, maybe a lot of things in your life makes you upset. gotta get off the forum more buddy.

an OEM can improve right? acer in the past long ago was one of the more succesful company before it turn to cheap product like AMD, yet look at AMD now i think they are doing more than just ok or cheap, they're stepping it up.

companies can improve, so chill out, dont make it sound like whoever made the statements with "acer" in them into a joke.

 

Acer has improved? Funny I thought they still rank almost dead last in terms of quality. Must be living in an alternate dimension.

 

The guy using adjectives to make his points thinks metaphors are 'stupid'. Bravo.

Then you wonder why people put you on ignore or don't bother taking time to respond to you.

If 45fps is a 'tremendous
experience' for you that's fine. You get a sweat little package for the price and you can play on the bus to school.

I want more DTRs because I deploy. I don't need to take it everywhere, everyday. So naturally I want the most power I can get.

 

rank dead last, but the rank is based on votes by majority of people. again take a standard deviation graph and 99% of stupid people would be in the middle. of course if majority of them put their opinion they would be last.

though i would very doubt most of them actually owned an acer in the past 3-5yrs. acer's gaming laptop has decent build quality, for their pricing definitely better than a trashy razor apple wannabe

 

I don't even know how to reply to this. I'm pretty sure if I went to a slum in Mexico I could find some guy who had his head blown off by some cartel gangbanger and could still put together a more intelligent and coherent reply than that.

"Standard deviation graph"

Do you even know what the words standard deviation means? I think what you're looking for is a normal distribution graph aka the bell curve.

Standard deviation is a measure of how much the data is spread out. How much it deviates from the average.

And no 99% of stupid people won't be right in the middle since you have no concept of what the word average / standard deviation / normal distribution means. But hey if you ever took a basic maths and/or statistics class in your entire life you'd have been able to understand that, I think they teach that in like primary school. Maybe lower school at the very latest.

And you call 99% of everyone else stupid.

Just. ****ing. lol.

 

no point doing basic math when dealing with you lol. just not worth the time, as long as you get the picture. if you dont get it oh well that explain something

 

No there's no point in doing basic maths because you can't seem to understand what the words average and standard deviation means.

Hint:



That's a normal distribution graph, also known as the bell curve.

Go take a long look at the mirror before calling other people stupid when you claim that 99% of people on a normal distribution graph would be right in the middle (the average). Maybe pick up a dictionary or, even better:



It's probably a great book! Will teach you everything that the 99% already know.

---

I find it absolutely hilarious that you enthusiasts have gone so far down your hole that I'm sitting here listen to you defend Acer.

But hey they made a 21" laptop so who cares about anything else am I right?

 

all i need to do is say something and you'll do all the work for me but u get the point. its kinda sad though we keep on saying bga junk this and that yet you dont do the extra work of researching them.

and btw that 21x predator likely will use BGA CPU just like most OEM. acer being so far behind have no choice but to go mainstream, even though they throw out this amazing idea of 21 inch display they simply too afraid to change internal hardware to a desktop cpu. talk about pressure from intel.

 

I have researched them and they suit my needs just fine, thank you very much.

Go read that book. Maybe it'll help you understand what 99% of the world already understands....the definition of "average".

Ah pressure from Intel eh. The conspiracy theory thickens! What's next? The illuminati is trying to take over the worlds supply of LGA chips by flooding the market with BGA?

Maybe Acer too

Intel
I-(nte)-l
Il
Illuminati



Intel confirmed member of the illuminati!!1!1!!11. HOW FAR IS THEIR REACH?

 

An 21inch display on a laptop instantly turns it into a all in one instead of laptop.

It is really too big to carry it with ease. Its too small to be a stationary PC because it has only a 21inch screen.

For a stationary machine I rather play with a total silent desktop hooked onto a 27inch Gsync monitor aka my setup.
Anyway thats just my view on it. These laptops are so expensive that you can get a fairly well powered but carry-able laptop and a balls to the wall desktop for the same price. Instead of a machine that tries to be all but isnt really as good as dedicated machines.

 

Aspiring to be average and going with the flow because it is popular is a bad option. No thanks. Good luck with the pursuit of being ordinary and allowing your future to be dictated by statisticians and pencil necked dweebs.

And, the sad truth of the matter is that brain cancer at Dell/Alienware goes far beyond the reach of their crippled turdbooks. Even Alienware desktops are crippled garbage now. I just hope Dell pulls the plug on the whole Alienware division. Their continued existence is pathetic blemish that tarnishes the entire genre of PC gamers and enthusiasts.

Here's an example (one of multiple) of their flawed approach to business with their desktops. These people are the epitome of failure. Everything they do is a glaring example of incompetence and disconnect with their enthusiast roots.

Aurora R5 - OC Failure | Dell Community Alienware Club

 

I agree with that last part of your comments 100%. The price they want for a crippled turdbook makes no sense. It should offer some degree of value and performance that more closely resembles the DTR replacement it aspires to be, but it fails miserably. If it did exactly what it was supposed to I would not care about price that much because it would deliver on expectations. This is a growing trend of failure and that's why I am seriously considering abandoning any concept of high performance notebooks completely. They are so riddled by compromise that the products that remain are an unacceptable option and offer very little value.

 

Interesting, will I be seeing you disparaging Clevo the same way that you have been Alienware, because they certainly have screwed over the "hardcore" just the same recently. Hopefully they will also die the same blissful death that Alienware deserves according to you. I find it funny that you look down upon every else when it's clearly the hardcore enthusiast that is getting screwed over the most. Perhaps you guys need to find another way to send your message, no? Your current line of thinking is not working.

 

hes selling his p870dm no? current line is not working because people with brain cancer continue to buy lol and won't listen

 

Actually, had you been paying attention to the big picture you would have already seen hundreds of posts where I have done exactly that. So, yes... I am brand agnostic. I want the results I want. Clevo and MSI have screwed me and many others and our current line of thinking has captured their attention. Bad publicity is an effective approach to dealing with treachery as long as the target is not a brain dead entity like Alienware. MSI has already apologized and offered some half-assed trade-in program to soften the blow while still making them more money. And, Clevo is exploring the possibility of making Pascal GPUs that will fit in pre-Pascal notebooks. So, it is working. I hope you are not disappointed to learn that it is.

I can guarantee you that people with your go with the flow line of thinking and take whatever they offer approach is part of the reason we are in such a sorry state right now. Thank you for that.

Already sold two days ago. Clevo's biggest advocate of P870DM-G (me) has called them out in a very damning public manner for their dishonest nonsense. That got some attention in places that matter as well as my disparaging comments against Clevo and MSI. Companies that take pride in their products do pay attention to public opinion, and they don't like to be ridiculed in public for their bad business decisions. Fanboys may not care, but smart businessmen do because it can hurt sales and reputation. We need more haters calling the balls and strikes and fewer Kool-Aid drinking fanboys.

Looking at my options now. Leaning toward a 6950X 1080 SLI desktop. DM3 looks awesome, but I don't want to get screwed a second time at the next GPU refresh if they pull the same stunt by making parts not fit for upgrades. Trust and respect must be earned. They (MSI and Clevo) lost most of mine at the release of Pascal. Their intent to screw customers out of upgrade opportunities that are more affordable than new machines could not have been more obvious.

 

i remember the good old days, xps m2010, acer9920g and hdx dragon. bigger the better haha

 

Half decent title...... Games are good based on opinion, but ignoring that line I'll just leave this here...

Resident Evil 6 - 60Fps +
Resident Evil Revelations 2 - 60Fps +
Battlefield 4 - 80 - 100 Fps
Dawn of War 2 - 120 Fps
BloodBowl 2 - 60Fps +
Sol Survivor - 60 Fps +
The Witcher 2 - 60Fps +
Crysis 3 - 55 - 60 Fps +
Eternal Crusade (Founders Alpha/ Beta) - 60Fps +
Warframe - 100Fps +
Batman Arkham Knight - 60Fps +
Totalwar Warhammer - 55 - 60 Fps (Benchmark)
Gamecube/ Emulation - 60Fps +

These are just a handful of my titles..... oh dang, a few drops down to 55 Fps for Total War and Crysis 3.....guess there's absolutely no way I can enjoy those anymore.........

Apparently you need triple digits now guys....... better get returning those new Alienwares, doesn't matter that you've been enjoying them........

Tries to state that users don't respond to me - then responds anyway.

Awww - look at this - He's all grown up everybody and he "deploys" now...

Well hate to break it to you but the purpose of laptops are to be more portable than desktops whilst still offering as much power as possible. Most gamers, myself included do travel around and need a lighter system ergo your point about DTR is completely moot, but nice try though.
I don't care if they ignore me because I don't value the opinions of naysayers and those whom b!tch that they know better concerning what true quality is. I don't need to enter a pi$$ing contest with those whom possess misleading, incorrect and unwanted opinions that I have already $hit upon.

All your incorrectness aside though, I'm going to be sorely tempted when the new Alienwares do arrive with Pascal - not sure if even the AGA will keep me on the first revision......

 

Oh yeah I'm sure millions were just buying Clevos top of the line laptop. Millions. That's why they stuck with it and provided upgrades! That's why they're slowly but surely devoting all their attention to the enthusiast market! All that money coming in...

You know all you enthusiasts remind me of this:

 

When Aw turned completely around and became trash for hardcore power enthusiasts!! Why can't ACER turn around to be high end quality and high end power beasts? You are from Europe? Then you will Remember Skoda! Trash can be transformed to something good. It's epic Trash doesn't need to be trash the whole life... Things can be changed

 

I'm just waiting for the new Alienwares to drop and get obliterated by the competition with identical specs in benchmarks... Because we all know how skilled their engineers are.. "WHAT? You want to OVERCLOCK your machine.?!. The one we gave birth to and crippled from the very start.?. Don't be silly; we made sure you can't do that." ROFL

*Builds a proper Titan XP SLI water-cooled gaming rig while using turd books for emailing, browsing, and light editing.*

Pull out before you have to pay child support.. Buying a laptop for serious gaming is a stupid idea.

 

I loved the M2010. I just recently almost bought one as there was and may still be a seller on eBay selling, new complete bodies of them with opticle drive and a few other bits and pieces already included. Had my finger on buy it now for about a week. Loved that computer.

 

On the contrary - I do require quality goods.
My system does everything I require and more. As it does for the vast majority of gamers.
I recognize when a good deal is a good deal and I enjoy it for its duration before upgrading, yet again with a great valued system. The old becomes a back up storage device as well as an additional computer for friends/ family.
Again, they are not turdbooks, they are excellent performing machines and pack massive power in a portable package.

They also function as advertised.....ooooh - Was that too soon?

No Mr. Fox I really couldn't care less about whether or not you ignore me. You've already said you are ignoring myself and a few others, yet here you are.
There is nothing at all wrong with diversity, I've always been one to support it. Nature its very self favors asymmetry.

However the diversity you speak of needs to function as intended and your recent computer, well, that didn't now did it.... I don't support tech that doesn't work.....

So because you don't agree with smaller, lighter yet still very powerful systems, anyone who does is a debased fanboy.... what planet are you on.....

You actually also take the biggest loss too financially in terms of how quick your already hideously expensive systems depreciate in value over the course of just a few months. Just look at your recent loss for further information.
Stop deluding yourself that you are defending the better option. Your Mxm systems DIED because there was no significant demand for them.
You are the blind individual here. You'd think after getting shafted not just once, but repeatedly you'd stop supporting that brand/ product, but not you. You return with trousers at ankles and bend yourself over....
If anyone is a fanboy it is you.

Are you actually going to ignore us this time or is this yet further rubbish?
If your idea of pearls is support for Mxm that has been proven time and time again to have massive issues including cost and compatibility you can keep them. I'd rather enjoy something that works anyway.....

 

Mind explaining why it's garbage, other than the lack of overclocking and upgradeability? In games you won't notice ****, which is the majority of the people these bga machines are aimed at. Some people realy need to get off their high horses.

 

I already clarified on this point... Inability to maintain a minimum of 60FPS at Ultra settings even at 1080p. It's fine for gaming if you don't mind lowering your settings to get playable FPS, or buy an AGA to improve your gameplay. In other words, if it looks like a turd, smells like a turd, chances are..

 

@1nstance - Buddy - It'll no doubt involve the same patronizing approach the naysayers take from "Oh I'm trying to help educate you on better systems" or "so you're prepared to settle for less".

Same ol' BS.

They are so far up their own deluded elitist @rses that they haven't thought about what makes each individual customer happy. You know, the thing that matters most - Customer satisfaction.

I'm aware my system isn't the fastest, the lightest, or can only upgrade to 16GB of Ram.
It's sound system whilst very good, isn't quite as good as the Msi Gx60 I used to possess and to get most out of the audio side I used my Razer gaming headset.

Does that make it bad - No - It doesn't.

It plays games very well and I'm enjoying it - As are the VAST majority of gamers.

And in a couple of years I'll upgrade to a new system again.

TL;DR - Naysayers take a hike.

 

Ye well, I really don't see any upcoming BGA notebook with a GTX1070/1080 like ASUS, MSI or Acer failing to do that anytime soon. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for LGA as well, but some people here really need to chill out with their elitism.

 

Really to be honest I have owned several gaming laptops from original Alienware (before Dell), Dellenware. Clevo, Asus, and now MSI. I can tell you it is not about elitism. It is about wanting the performance to whatever you want to do with your laptop. I agree with you that and BGA notebook with atleast a 1060 video card should shred anything out there.

Personally I like to overclock and see how high I can get my system to perform. I also like to dial back a bit off the overclocking for gaming. But if I buy a Gaming Laptop I want it to play anything I throw at it, and If I spend 5k on a laptop I do not want it to be some soldered on video card and CPU. Granted manufactures have not had a choice when it comes to Intel, (unless you are Clevo using desktop CPUS). but that is what was great about Alienware before is the fact you could possibly upgrade your system with out having to buy a new one. Also fixing the system was alot better imo, replacing a video card if it fail is better than having to replace the whole motherboard.

Keeping to the topic title

Someone just got a GTX 10 series 15 inch AW

https://twitter.com/NVIDIAGeForce/status/771129640312119296

 

The question is as follows... will Dell v/Mr. Azor continue to use the same motherboard for AW15 and 17 as they prefer? How to solve the issue to use 190w Nvidia 1080 in a 15 inches AW Echo? Will Dell again use different motherboards vs their models as before? Will Dell use the maxed 1080 in their new AW17R4? And not downscale the max TDP on the card, because their prefered laptop design(Thin and lightweight, but with wery good battery)?

Edit. Here are some words of wisdom from our master of firmware @Prema http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...scussion-thread.794965/page-149#post-10331073

 

Wherever the new Alienwares are they better be able to present some unique offerings to match some of the new systems available from Msi and Acer - The new Predator 21X features the world's first curved screen on a laptop. That and it's packing dual 1080s.

A complete monster but very cool nonetheless.

Wonder what the next stepping stone will be. Hopefully not just new GPU and CPU revisions.

 

If you could just spend a couple of minutes and navigate to the Clevo sub-forum and realize the above is you, Much affordable than Alienware, Clevo Maxwell machines plus pro-active forums, Yeah, until this hot disaster called Pascal hit. I had to eat my words about the permanent sign off to this wrong call & blatantly misinformed.

 

One thing is 100% certain. Mr Azor can not shrink these Aw Echo models further. But will their customer segment want thicker laptop models? My bet is a thicker Aw17 unless Dell goes for Nvidia 1070 in both AW15 - 17 and use the same motherboards on both models one more time as before. This is the easiest and cheapest solution for Dell. Lower storage costs and easier access to parts, like they doe with their current Aw Echo models.

 

You realize I'm talking exactly about that right? I'll give you a hint, that entire post you quoted used something called sarcasm. Not like the "..." at the end wasn't enough of a clue.

Who gives a **** about their Maxwell machines anymore, they can't be upgraded to Pascal. Which means the last "enthusiast pc" OEM/ODM is slowly moving away from that market. Why? Because clearly that market wasn't paying for itself.

Btw this post wasn't sarcasm, just thought you should know that. Looks like you had to eat your words and made yourself look like a fool at the same time. Thank you for playing

 

That's the reason why you guys are anti productive, While you can Better Get Another next year always & Also the BGA Maxwell machines can rot in hell from your perspective, people with socketed mxm machines can upgrade to a 1060 later.

As you can see the monopoly is not a good thing for anything, It just undermines every stuff and stunts the growth, Nvidia / Intel tight policies are the cause to this, believe it or not. MSI claiming the upgrades while Clevo designs the HW fully socketed, Enthusiast market is not going anywhere MSIGT83VR / P870DM2-3 still exist and people are purchasing them too. While Alienware disbanded the multi GPU setups for ? Leaving the market to them..

Again the kid mentality common man that was sarcasm about - eating my words and all !! How can you believe a random person posting on the Internet...please gimme a break..Calling it quits this time for real

 

Aww did you get triggered?

Yes I can always get another machine. Looks like if you ever want to use anything more than a mid-tier 1060 you'll have to as well So much for your upgradable high performance machines that push the limits of gaming and technology. A 1060 upgrade! Amazing!

Those last two sentences were sarcasm btw, thought you should know that too.

Yes because MSI and Clevo will definitely not pull the same **** again. They called me up and pinky promised that the next generation of their laptops will totally be upgradable

In reality what's going to happen is Intel's Kaby Lake will be the last CPU you can upgrade to. And Nvidia / Clevo / MSI will **** you over again with a new redesigned MXM board for volta and beyond! Now it comes with extra salt!

It was pretty obvious that was sarcasm. Like blindingly obvious. I even gave you all the required clues but since you're oblivious I've started to let you know: The previous sentences were not sarcasm.

But thank you for playing, I'm sure I'll see you back in this very same thread again. Perhaps next time you'll have a 1060! Can't wait to see those amazing LGA benchmarks with that "Enthusiast PC" of yours. <- Sarcasm btw.

 

i think u should calm down. hes not being triggered, hes trying to be civil and make constructive feedback that you have been trying to get out of me this whole time

from my point of view though, you were the one thats triggered, jumped on the comments so quickly.. u know its ok to be wrong right? always good to admit your own mistake so you can improve

 

Are 90% of the users on here bellow the age of 16.?. Because that would make a lot of sense... One's IQ shouldn't decrease so much when reading through a forum thread.

Edit: Thank God for the "Ignore" button--truly a life saver.

 

Just waiting for the new Alienwares, Wonder how they are going to keep up with the GSync and Gimptimus + AGA & The temps !! Then this thread and sleep permanently once and for all like the AW

 

This coming from the guy who doesn't understand averages. Good to see you admitted you were wrong for that =) Oh wait, you didn't.

And hey I'm not the one who fell for the most obvious sarcasm in the world and then proceeded to write an insult in retaliation. He did.

And it sure seems like you guys have a totally different definition of civil compared to the rest of the world. Go around spamming your trash, insults people's intelligence, their purchases, what they expect from a laptop. TOTALLY CIVIL GUYS (<- sarcasm). Get made fun of? Wahh better cry about civility.

Oh look you're back, again. Wow your willpower sure is worse than a crack addict looking for his next fix, with the difference being that the crack addict has a physical compulsion to do it. You? You're just mentally weak, just like your 1060 upgrade (minus the mental part).

Speaking of which how's your 1060 EXTREME GAMING LGA LAPTOP turning out? Is it the computer you always hoped for or is it mid-tier trash like you like to proclaim so much?

 

Where are the new Alienwares?!?!!? This thread is terrible.

 

I can smell a burn here...

Well I'm running a 1060 right now (With EC mod & 120Hz panel) and for a fraction of a cost @ $400 I have contacts that helped me out, Yeah It's mediocre trash that beats out a 980N, thanks to MXM !! Can't publish more, alpha stages...
Edit : It's not LGA, It's FPGA lol

PAX 9.2.2016 12:00AM E.T, seems like they are getting eyetracking tech from Tobii.

 

Oh look you replied again

The only burn you're feeling is in your wallet when you realized that the extreme gaming computer you purchased is now relegated to mid tier. Even lower than the BGA laptops that you made fun of.

Ah yes "Only $400" So much did your original laptop cost? You know when you bought it brand new? Because you see, mine cost me $1800. Now when the 1080 laptops come out and I choose which one I want, it'll cost me about $2500-$2700. Making my total purchase cost $4500.

Or I could go for the 1070 and save $1000, making my total cost of two laptops. $3500 AND it will still be significantly more powerful than your 1060.How much did yours cost + upgrades?

Must suck, I know.

 

Do your home diligence. What's the name of Mobile socket?

 

FCBGA?

Edit: OH WAIT I didn't realize he had a 4710MQ, I thought he had a 6700K like the rest of you. So yes he's correct its FCPGA. Should have read his signature first, disregard that!

 

And what's the name for my processor socket? In the sig
Your own words. Especially the word with 5 letters!!

 

FCLGA 1151
