    you guys will probably need to check back tomorrow afternoon, since alienware will not post the notebooks on their website without first showing it at their launch even in NY.

    3:20 AM here on the East Coast of the US. Still not on Alienware's site. Although I like their new dual 3870 desktop.

    Just a few more hours. Not only is Alienware announcing its next series of laptops, ATI is releasing more Spider...

    And the last midterms before Thanksgiving break! WOOOO!!!!!

    Enough time to blather on about the new Alienware notebooks but not enough to provide the screenshots I asked for yesterday? It figures, you really are a troll with zero credibility.

    I fully expect threads on the new Alienware notebooks to mushroom by the time I wake up tomorrow. I'm also predicting a change in spam from "Far Cry high on my GMA950" to "Crysis very high with 30+fps on my 15X!".

    Lay off, I've been using my sisters laptop for the past 2-3 days, I sad I will get screens. NOT from Farcry since I already admitted that I forgot to restart each time. But I will definitaly prove you wrong with Garrys mod

    BACK TO THE SUBJECT:
    This is sad... well, when is the show in NY ?

    Any benchmarks on 3870 ? Cant seem to find any.

    IS it true that Alienware is on ly getting the 8800gtx TODAY or this week for testing, so it wont be coming out until MAYBE january?!

    Now you know how annoyed we all get when you post ridiculous claims about hardware, still the excuses are so convenient for you each time.

    Wait until 10pm GMT for the crazed 8800 fanboys, the show won't start any earlier or later no matter how quickly or often you post.

    US Eastern seaboard 5pm which will be when most people get off work and what will probably be the end of the launch if they started in the daytime. Otherwise 0200 GMT if they start the launch at night since that's when people will start passing out reports.

    So it is. Well its 9:08 AM in New York. So 2 more hours.

    Availability is going to be the determining factor for me (oh and of course price). So i hope they are going to be shipping Today, at all stores (not just the US one!).
