Alienware Aurora R3 System Autopsy
|
|
One of Alienware’s Aurora R3 gaming systems crash landed at HotHardware, and today it's us performing the Alien(ware) autopsy. We dissected the Aurora R3 from head to toe, discovered what makes it tick, and then fed it a handful of games and other software to observe how it digests a diet of DirectX 11 and other modern morsels, all in the name of science, of course...

Dell’s Venue Pro
|
|
“Regardless of what Dell tells you, the Venue Pro’s elliptical form factor does not make it easy to carry and there’s no getting away from the fact that it’s a monster of a device. Sure it feels sturdy and dependable, but no-one will want to carry this thing around all day! On the plus side, the Venue Pro with Windows Phone 7 and a slide-out keyboard certainly brings a fresh approach of doing more with less and delivers an effective “mobile” solution to work, enjoy the Web and connect with friends. It also pulls off the difficulty of mixing business with pleasure. Sadly, despite Microsoft’s stellar efforts with Windows Phone 7, Dell’s hardware is just not exciting enough to threaten Apple’s iPhone and the latest Google Android-based handsets.”

Dell Inspiron 14z Notebook Review: A Portable Workhorse
|
|
The 14z may not be all that thin, but for most users it will prove to be an excellent laptop. In fact, this is the perfect laptop for anyone who is considering an inexpensive 15.6? laptop, but would like better battery life - without paying much of a price in terms of performance or, well, price. At $749, our Core i5 equipped unit is a bit expensive, but the $599 Core i3 basic model (which still comes with a 6-cell battery, but not with the backlit keyboard) is a bargain and, if it were my money, would be the one to buy. In most situations the performance gap won?t be noticeable, and the fundamentally good battery life and pleasurable chassis remains the same. "

Cooler Master Notepal U Stand Review @ Neoseeker
|
|
The Notepal U Stand is a notebook cooler with adjustable elevation, allowing the user to set the angle of the cooler on which the notebook rests. Two 100mm fans that the user can place in most any position in the cooler also add another degree of customization, but these features add to the price. See what the U Stand offers for $50 in our latest notebook cooler review!"

GIGABYTE P2532 15.6-inch Multimedia Notebook Review
|
|
"The GIGABYTE P2532 is reputed to be one of the thinnest core i7's on the market at 27.6mm in the front and 35.1mm at its thickest. Its 15.6" chassis sports a full HD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution and a LED backlit screen. Under the hood we've got a 500GB 7200rpm HDD, 4GB of RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GT550M/ 2GB VRAM with Optimus technology.
Taking a look around the unit, you'll find a DVD burner, two USB 3.0 ports, HDMI and THX Tru Studio Pro technology in its four speakers and one subwoofer. What is pretty neat about this unit is that the USB 2.0 port is combined with the e-SATA, which is a great feature in my books since I rarely use my e-SATA ports. If you're looking for something with great design, a beautiful display that is accompanied by four speakers and a subwoofer, then look no further, the P2532 is a competitively priced Multimedia notebook."

|
|
?The Acer Aspire TimelineX 5830TG-6402 is a laptop that packs a one-two punch of good looks and solid performance, with a combination of processor and graphics that usually costs significantly more. It does this by making a few sacrifices, which result in a limited feature set and poor heat dispersion.?"

Maingear Titan 17 Notebook Review
|
|
Custom boutique PC builder Maingear has sent us a couple of high-end desktop systems in the last year. The Maingear F131 was pitted against the Puget Deluge Mini and the Acer Predator in our sub-$2,000 gaming desktop roundup of 2010. Then late last year we had a look at their Shift Gaming PC, a beautiful no holds barred $7,000+ triple SLI overclocked monster that any hardware enthusiast would love to own.
Today we will be looking at the notebook equivalent of the above mentioned Shift desktop system, known as the Titan 17. Our evaluation system consists of an Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition processor, a hexa-core desktop CPU operating at 3.46 GHz. Other notable hardware includes a 17.3” LED-backlit display running at 1920 x 1080, two Nvidia GeForce GTX 485M graphics cards, 6GB of Kingston DDR3-1333 memory, a 120GB Intel 510 solid state drive, a 750GB Western Digital 7200 RPM hard drive, a Blu-ray optical drive, Bigfoot Killer Wireless-N Ultimate network adapter and integrated Bluetooth technology, all running under Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Dell's XPS 15z Ultra Slim Notebook Review
|
|
For some, Dell may historically have an undeserved reputation for producing run-of-the-mill products, but when you look at their recent smartphone offering like the Venue Pro, slates like the 5-inch Streak and computers like the Adamo XPS, it's hard to not give 'em credit where credit is due. Enter the XPS 15z. For all intents and purposes, this is yet another standout product from Dell, one that simply cannot be lumped into standard mainstream categories. There's something fundamentally different about the 15z that commands a second look, and in our case, an in-depth review of its features and capabilities...
