Las actualizaciones son algo esperado en todas las líneas exitosas de ordenadores, y por supuesto los impresionantes laptops para gaming de Alienware no son una excepción. Las especificaciones de los nuevos modelos para este año se han ido filtrando poco a poco durante los últimos meses, y ahora llegan las del modelo más grande de la familia, Dell Alienware M18X R2, que aparece con chips Ivy Bridge quad-core de altas prestaciones, y algo más impresionante todavía, configuraciones de doble tarjeta gráfica AMD o NVIDIA en CrossFire/SLI.
La información llega desde "Dell Lab" conocida fuente de noticias sobre los productos salidos de las fábricas de Dell, que en otras ocasiones ya ha proporcionado información acertada sobre la familia de portátiles M de Alienware. El nuevo M18X R2 llegará con tres opciones distintas con respecto a microprocesador, con un Core i7-3610QM de 2.3Ghz, Core i7-3720QM de 2.6Ghz, y el más potente, Core i7-3820QM de 2.7Ghz, todas CPUS con cuatro núcleos y tecnología de producción de 22 nanómetros. Para alimentar de gráficos al impresionante panel FullHD "White-LED" de 18.4 pulgadas que integra el portátil, Dell ha elegido configuraciones de doble GPU con las últimas unidades de AMD y NVIDIA, pudiendo elegir si queremos la impresionante Radeon HD7970M con núcleos Southern Islands en configuración CrossFire, o dos GeForce GTX 675M en SLI. Existe una tercera opción más modesta, con el chip GeForce GTX 660M.
En cuanto a la memoria RAM, el nuevo laptop gaming de Alienware puede configurarse con 2, 4 u 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz, o una opción a 1866Mhz limitada a tan sólo 2GB de memoria, lo que resulta peculiar como poco. Los compradores de estos Alienware M18X R2 podrán seleccionar distintas configuraciones para su almacenamiento, con unidades de disco duro de 500GB o 750GB a 7.200rpm, o considerar las ventajas del almacenamiento sólido con unidades Samsung PM830 de 32, 64, 256 o 512GB con interfaz Serial ATA III 6Gbps, o Micron C400 de 512GB. Para rematar la impresionante configuración se podrá elegir el acabado del portátil como de costumbre, con una opción en color rojo, o completamente en color negro. No existe información sobre la batería suministrada con el equipo, pero baste decir que los adaptadores de corriente tendrán 240 o 330 vatios de potencia según opción.
Tuve una Alienware m15x y fue una de las peores compras de mi vida. Me dí el gusto de finalmente tener una Alienware, pero no me satisfizo ni como Desktop ni como Laptop.
Te apoyo porque un amigo compró una y se le descompuso 2 veces, si vas a gastar en una laptop gamer,compra la Eurocom Panther un maquinon, eso si ,es aun mas caro,pero esas salen muy buenas
impresionante este maquinon, me imagino también su impresionante precio.
I needed a back up bseuace my Windows desktop (Gateway) was giving up on me (it died on me twice). Good thing it's just one year old and the warranty still covers it. I'm new with Macs and I decided to give these computers a try. (By the way, I already have the iPhone4 and iPad.)I went to the Apple store (here at the East coast) and I was contemplating on whether to get a Macbook Air, Macbook pro 13, or MB 15. I ended up with a Macbook pro 13. The Macbook pro 15 is just way too expensive for a backup computer and too heavy to be carrying around on my backpack all day. I had a Nokia booklet 3G and ended up giving it my sister. Aside from the fact that it was darn too slow, it had no CD/DVD drive. Sometimes, no matter how much I justify or convince myself that I do not need a DVD drive, I end up needing one. So, I ended up buying an external DVD drive for the Nokia. I've played with the MB Air (the $999) at the Apple store and personally didn't find it that appealing (no offense to anyone's preference). Most people that I've encountered liking it were businessmen and students who use it for work purposes (but not as their main computer). It is way too underpowered and expensive. The fact that I already have the iPad made me shake my head in disagreement that this was not the backup computer for me. So, I ended up with the Macbook pro 13.Trust me, it's just a smaller Macbook pro 13. In my opinion, if you have the iPad, there's no need for this. Most Americans (as I was asking around) still don't find the need for this as they would rather have a larger Macbook pro with better specs, or even prefer a Windows laptop (that is about $700) with better specs, say those with Core i7s.My co-workers who have macbooks and macbook pros have had their laptops for 3 5 years on the average. Damn! The longest time that I have had a PC laptop was 2 years before it died on me. I guess ayaw sa akin nang PC. Hehehehehe . Hopefully, this Mac will last me at least 3 years. And if that's the case, It would be much cheaper owning a Mac considering I buy a new laptop practically every year. As of now, I have installed Windows 7 on it. I had to buy the (expensive) operating system for $199. So far, Macs have been treating me very well.I guess if anyone really wants a MB Air, just be prepared for an external hard drive. Build quality for the MB Air is excellent just like the MB Pro. (Trust me, it I was playing with the for an hour). Cost for the MB Air depends from State to State. In my area, the tax is at 6%. So, the would be 999 x 1.06 = go figure.I got mine from a military post so I saved (together with the discount and no tax) about $100. I guess regardless of whether you're getting a MB Air or any Mac, rest assured your paying for a quality gadgetry. Good luck to all buyers!
