Deal Of The Day: $320 Off Dell Alienware m11x Gaming Laptop

By David Ponce on 08/04/11 • 1 Comment

By David Ponce

The Alienware brand is synonymous with gaming. This is well known. So are the brand’s prices, which generally remain in the upper tier. And while the m11x is not the fastest, baddest gaming rig on the market, Engadget describes it as if “it purposefully looks like a cross between a muscle car and spaceship. Whether or not these particular choices appeal to you probably depends on how much GPU-dependent gaming you do on the go, and how much you’re willing to spend on a machine with a smaller screen. We’re pretty sure those of you who run out to buy one right this second won’t be disappointed.”

Nicely equipped with a Core i3-330UM ULV processor with a 1GB GeForce GT 335M discrete GPU and 8GB RAM, today you’re seeing the price drop from $1,019 top $699, a $320 rebate.

Deal Of The Day: 77% Off On HTC Evo 3D

By David Ponce on 06/29/11 • 1 Comment

As far as deals go, some are large and some are little. Like yesterday’s. But every little dollar counts, all the more so when you’re looking at a whopping $538 off of a retail, unsubsidized price. Sure, Sprint will give you the HTC Evo 3D for $199 on two-year contract, but today’s deal brings it even lower than that, at $162, still of course with a two-year activation. For this sum you get glasses-free 3D, with two cameras so that you can shoot your own 3D content. Specs-wise, the Evo 3D packs a “dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon CPU, 4.3″ 540 x 960 Super LCD 3D display, dual 5MP rear cameras to capture in 3D (1.3MP front), 3G/4G connectivity and hotspot capability, Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS with HTC Sense UI, 1GB built-in memory expandable via microSD, and more.”

This deal is on until June 30th.

Deal Of The Day: $50 Off On Dell Alienware m14x Laptop

The Alienware brand, even before it was snapped up by Dell in 2006, was always synonymous with gaming performance. It was also synonymous with “expensive hardware”. And things haven’t changed all that much, even under the Dell umbrella. Take for instance the m14x laptop. Some reviewers described thusly:

“It’s tough to find mobile PC gaming in a package that’s neither too big nor too small. The Alienware M14x comes very close, with plenty of component options and a size that’s hefty, but not backbreaking.

At the time that review was made, the machine was $2,100 or so. It’s nice to see it’s come down substantially, and today you can slice an extra $50 off. Sure, it doesn’t sound like much, but every penny counts and for $1,149 (after the $50 coupon), you can get your hands on the cheapest Core i7 model, which comes with a “Core i7-2630QM 2GHz Quad-core “Sandy Bridge” processor, 4GB RAM, 500GB 7200RPM Hard Drive, 1.5GB NVIDIA GeForce GT555M graphics and more.” For $300 more, you can get the flagship model with 8GB RAM, 3GB NVIDIA GT555M with Optimus, Alienware Orion M14x TSA Friendly Backpack and 900p display.

Deal Of The Day: $200 Off Plus $50 Coupon On Dell Alienware m11x

By David Ponce on 12/02/10 • Leave a comment!


By David Ponce

The last time we looked at the m11x, it was for a higher end configuration, with a Core i5 processor. And while that one packed a little more horsepower, it also packed a little heavier punch on the wallet, as it was still $999 after rebates. Today’s m11x is a Core 2 Duo config with GB GeForce GT 335M discrete GPU & WLED 720p LCD, 1.3-Megapixel Webcam, 802.11n WiFi, 2GB DDR3 memory, 160GB Hard Drive, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS. It’s usually $799, but after $200 off and a stackable $50 coupon, you can have it shipped to your door for $549. That’s nearly half the price of its better spec’ed brother.

Deal Of The Day: Dell Alienware m11x Gaming Laptop For $999

By David Ponce on 10/21/10 • Leave a comment!

I’m sure you’re all well aware that Alienware stuff is three things: 1) Good for gaming, 2) have distinctive looks and 3) are usually expensive. This time around, you’re looking at a $150 coupon on an $1,150 machine, bringing the price down to a grand. For this, the 11.6-inch m11x comes with a Core i5 processor and 4GB DDR3 ram, 320GB 7200RPM Hard Drive, Bluetooth 2.1, 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M graphics, 802.11n WiFi, Webcam and more. A reviewer over a Kotaku seemed pretty impressed with the machine.

Nevermind the Core 2 Duo in the image. While you can get it configured with that processor, the deal I just mentioned was for the Core i5 model.

By Colin Ackerman

That sweet looking curvy display we first saw at CES back in 2008 is finally available to consumers with too much money to spend, only about a year late. For a mere $6500, you can be the proud owner of the Ostendo CRVD, a curved 43″ 2880 x 900 quad-DLP rear projection monitor. Ostendo says that most of the units have been sold to the military for simulators and stuff, but this is what it’s really for:

[CES 2008] Pepcom: Alienware Curvy Display Prototype

By Evan Ackerman on 01/07/08 • 1 Comment

Alienware Display

By Evan Ackerman

This wraparound display from Alienware was probably the most obviously interesting eye candy at the Pepcom show at CES. It’s rear projection, with a wraparound effect that mimics peripheral vision, which is great for FPS games like Crysis (which it ran without a hitch). I’m not sure exactly what’s in there, but if you look very closely at the picture, you can see three vague vertical lines, which makes me suspect that there are four projectors working in concert. It doesn’t slow the screen down, though… The response time (this is not a typo) is 0.02ms, and the resolution is a whopping 2880 x 900. Although this unit is only a prototype, it should be commercially available sometime in the latter half of 2008. Price? Yeah, good luck.

Alienware’s Docking Speaker Station

By David Ponce on 12/28/05 • Leave a comment!

I stumbled on the Alienware CE-IV some time ago. It’s E.T.ware’s funny foray into digital audio players, and for some reason I find it somewhat comical that I should come across this: a dedicated hub for the device, or as they call it, the “2.1 Channel Portable Music Enhancement System.”

Specwise, there’s nothing out of this world (please pardon the pun… you know, aliens, out-of-this-world… ah never mind). There’s a “down-firing” subwoofer, and the docking area is shaped to mate with the CE-IV, though they recognize their probable failure in the DAP market and allow for any other player to connect as well.

So there you have it. It’s a $100.

Alienware’s Sentia 3200′s Instant-On Goodness

By David Ponce on 11/17/05 • 4 Comments

By David Ponce

Alienware, in my mind, equates with unjustifiable expense. But hell, for some people, having the word “Alien” on their gear is worth paying the premium, I guess. That’s not to say the company doesn’t make fine products. Take this, the lovely Sentia m3200.

It’s aimed at users who value portability, weighing in at 4lbs. But that’s not why I find it interesting. I like the Instant-On functionality.

You can immediately access videos, music, digital photos and other multimedia content while conserving battery life on your notebook. How does this work? You instantly boot into a multimedia interface by pushing the instant-on button when the entire system is off. This bypasses loading Windows on the notebook and provides a dedicated environment for multimedia functions while conserving critical battery power.

Yeah, saving two or three minutes of Windows bootup time certainly sounds exciting to me.

Other features include:
-12.1 inch widescreen LCD with ClearView technology
- 4 hour battery life
- Integrated 4 in 1 media card reader
- 802.11a/b/g wireless support

They’re starting at, amazingly enough, $1000. More at the Alienware website. Story VIA Mobilewhack.
