Alienware SLi - AMD NOTEBOOK! - Page 2

WOOOWW
This truely looks nice. Much thiner then the m7700 from the picture to judge.
I had other reason to consider cancelling my order but now i REALLY think i should wait for this model.
Not a big fan of SLI but i like the size and look of this new model.

What do you guys think? any advice ?

Well i am paying around 2500£ for the laptop and with some extra shizzle around 2800£ so if i go with the single GPU i shouldn't get so much higher then that i'm thinking but perhaps they have much higher priced at the start.

You think it will cost considerably higher ?

I don't really care for it, but I never thought I would want a 17" notebook either.

I personally don't care for the screen resolution, the use of a turion in sli...that has to be a serious bottle neck there, and w/ SLI or duel gpu's isn't the point to have it @ a high resolution w/ all the eye candy?

from what I've seen w/ the 7800 go's in the Dell 9400, it's on par w/ a 6800 ultra...I think I'll stick w/ the 7800 go GTX single gpu application and a smaller screen w/ higher resolution.

But kudos for actually coming out w/ a sli notebook...who would have known =D

nice find...

Sexy...I'd get one...but i am saving up for a quad sli desktop..and im already gonna get a m5700 soon...So no point really. But it will be a sweet notebook

Looks sweet! that will be the X2 AMD Turion64 right?

but... even with that, i'm seeing processor lock, now why wont they make this in their desktop processor notebooks =)

SLI was only on the go 7800 or can you get SLI in 7800GTX

sweet.

That could be a great DRS, but the limitations are a little too apparent. Only game performance will tell.

still i was told from the current aurora m7700 maxed out will be faster than this maxed b/c of there being no desktop processor but i am sure in 1-2 years for sure!!! but as long as i am playing bf2 with max settings and getting at the lowest 50 fps and highest 100 i think i will be happy for a while esp considering the ability to upgrade at least the gpu to lets say a go 7900 gtx which should be out i hope within a month or so!!!! plus my 1920/1200 screen cannot be beat by any laptop i have ever layed eyes on fo sho!!!!!

Yeah... does anyone have an idea why they dont run a desktop procesor like the 7700's have? With all that graphics capacity, why limit its potential with a AMD Turion when there is already the ability to put a desktop CPU in laptops? =/

I'm geussing they had to trade something off for the extra drain on the power supply with the SLI dual cards. Probably couldn't handle supplying the juice for both a desktop proc and the dual configuration at the same time.

Lol. Honestly I dont worry about battery life on my laptop. I dont expect it to last more than an hour or so, to me its basically a temporary power supply to move between outlets

Yeah, when people talk about the configuration I'm getting I always point out the 45 min battery life =). I intend to be plugged in at all times, they even have plugs on the seat arms on planes now, so that should be groovy.

Eh, Turions? Isn't M better?

It's got less processor power, and 19" screen!? That's too damn big!

Pentium M's can't support SLI.





And those plugs in airplane seats don't supply 220W power, so no go.

But besides that, M is better for mobile, correct?

yes they dont give 220w. but thats why your power supply can handle different power amounts as long as a base is there, as for intel pentium m's there is no reason they cant support sli, nothign about them makes them incapable as a processor.

My new laptop

Hey everyone I just got my new laptop and accessories from alienware. It's the sweetest thing i've seen around and I just wanted to know what u guys thought about it. I paid a lot for it so I want to make sure it's worth it.
