ALIENWARE & STORAGE



Well, I have always been fascinated by Alienware and I would like to admit that it is one of my dream machines to have, not an Apple. I saw the advertisements of the new 11.6" screen Alienware laptop and was impressed. I mean I always wanted a very small (mobile) device that has very powerful specifications with dedicated graphics. I believe there is none so far at 10-11 inches which has more RAMs than 2GB and all of them are having integrated graphics. This is why the new Alienware M11x appeals to me very much. I will definitely check out the machine when I go to the ITShow2010 tomorrow. The brochure is out too, check it out here!

Mamamia!

Some of the nice galleries of the laptop design taken from Dell. Though this is a M17x but the designs are quite similar.

As for storage, SSD is still too costly. I think it is not logical to get one at the moment.

I will be getting the Seagate external hard disk since it is quite attractive.

Or I may change my mind and opt for the Hitachi and do the external hard disk construction myself.
