Ultrahordozható Alienware laptop

Habár vészesen közeledik a CES, bizonyos cégek úgy tűnik, nem várnak addig termékeik bemutatásával. Így tett most az Alienware is, a maga m3400-as ultrahordozható (?) laptopjával, amelynek főbb tuladjonságai:

* Intel Centrino processzor
* 1280×768-as felbontású kijelző
* 1.3 MPixeles digitális kamera
* Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE1394, négy USB 2.0 port
* S/PDIF kimenet
* 4-az-egyben kártyaolvasó
* VGA port
* Tömege: 4,5 font, azaz kb. 2 kiló

A többi alkatrész természetesen változó, persze árban is, mindenesetre a legkisebb model már akár 900 amerikai dollárért, azaz kb. 192000 Ft-ért a miénk lehet, de nekünk sikerült a legdrágább csomagot összerakni, amelyért 3182 amerikai dollárt, azaz kb. 680 000 Ft-ot kellene fizetnünk.

Alienware Laptop Review: Area 51

The Area 51 laptop starts at US $1,971.00, and that's after a US$100 mail-in rebate. While the system is rather heavy, hot, expensive, and has a mediocre battery life, it more than makes up for it in style. If you've got a hankering for incredible engineering, excellent mobile performance, great features (including 4x DVD+RW and 6 speaker audio) and a solid warranty, fork over the cash. Happy gaming!

The Alienware Invasion

This is no weather balloon -- it's a full-scale alien invasion. A series of desktop computers, notebooks and workstations by Alienware are infiltrating the government. Alienware has traditionally marketed its computers to gamers because it specializes in building machines with high-end graphics. But last year, federal officials became interested in Alienware's products, and the company was recently awarded its first General Services Administration contract. It is now actively marketing to government customers.

“There is a lot of interest from the Department of Defense,” said Robert Lusk, vice president of sales and marketing at Alienware.

The company's computers excel in modeling, simulation and other graphically intense applications, so they are well-suited to uses such as warfare-simulation training in the Army, research projects using 3-D imaging and homeland security applications.

Another advantage for government customers is that Alienware's manufacturing process can be customized, Lusk said. "We don't use exactly the same procedures every time," he said. "We're a smaller company, and we're not cranking out zillions" of computers.
Bot

The company recently released the Bot, a compact desktop computer with an appealing price tag for budget-conscious customers.

Our review unit...shipped with an Intel Pentium 4 3.4 GHz processor with Hyper-Threading Technology, 1G of dual-channel DDR memory, a 160G hard drive, a DVD-RW drive, a floppy drive and an ATI Technologies Radeon X600 XT PCI Express graphics processor with 128M of video memory.

In addition to sophisticated graphics, this machine is serious about sound. It comes with Intel High Definition Audio and six rear audio jacks that support six-channel, 16-bit audio. Headphone and microphone jacks are located on the front of the chassis.

Preloaded software extras include AlienGUIse, which lets users alter desktop features such as icons; CyberLink's PowerDVD 5, a software interface for playing DVDs; and Nero's NeroVision Express 2 for creating and playing CDs and DVDs and performing other video tasks.

We liked the sleek silver and black chassis. It would even look good in a living room because hinged covers hide the floppy drive, optical DVD drive and a set of ports.

The Bot comes with a host of ports, including serial, parallel, 10/100 Ethernet, 56 kilobits/sec V.92 modem, two PS/2, six USB 2.0 (four on the back and two on the front) and two FireWire (one in back and one up front). Video ports include Digital Visual Interface and VGA.

The Bot's one-year AlienCare warranty includes toll-free, around-the-clock telephone support and on-site service.”
