>less than a grand
I don't know, I don't really see the point of such a thing. I rather stick to my oldie laptop and consoles.

Pandora here, FUCK YOUR SHIT!

Asus was here, Alienware is a loser.

Holy shit CES thread get in here guys!

/v/ - Technology

>>46339580

Gateway was here, all other laptops are faggots.

(Unfortunately they have THE WORST customer service department I've ever had to put up with.)

>Implying Alienware isn't still an overpriced piece of shit and that tomorrow every other laptop manufacture isn't going to introduce some kind of gaming netbook.

>laptop
>gaming

Why should I suck it? You bought a laptop, which will be obsolete in 3 years, for 3 times the price of my PS3, which will be still churning out and playing games for about 7 years.

>>46344102
Dude, you should'a gotten a Dell.

>Buying alienware
>Buying a laptop
>Thinks "less than a grand" is a good price for something that is outperformed by custom-built, $700 desktops
>Thinks this means anything to the console industry

>>46344215
Atleast I don't have to wait 7 years to play some decent games.

>>46344215
>PS3, which will be still churning out and playing games for about 7 years.

Motherfucker you're on your second PS3.

brave little toaster?

also smalltime

>>46343236
>Crysis plays 50fps on the highest settings
No no no no no. They confused MW2 with Crysis, which runs at 30 FPS at the highest settings. Which is still respectable.

Is this the guy who made the thread with him getting an Alienware in the mail?

>>46344639

lol no it isn't. My desktop that I bought three years ago plays Crysis at 30 fps.

>>46343236

>gaming on a laptop of any kind

>>46344600
Only because my first one had a fault... Second one is fine.

Still cost less than half of his PC.

>>46344733
They announced that MW2 plays at 30 FPS and Crysis on 60 FPS, each on their highest settings. Tell me how MW2 performs worse than Crysis? It HAS to be a mix up.

>netbook
>$1,000

>clearly not defeating the point of a netbook

>>46344782
Two PS3's cost at least 600 quid. An alienware brand ANYTHING is extremely overpriced. You could probably get that same laptop for half the price without the alienware sticker on it. For 600 quid, you COULD get a high spec pc.

>>46344772

lol this

>>46344102

HP is worse. I've dealt with both.

They did stuff like when my friend's HD DVD drive stopped working they said that they would fix it only under some special circumstances. He asked if it would be okay to just get a regular DVD drive instead and they said no.

>>46344782

PS3 has you already knew

>>46344381
/topic.

OP is a fag

But netbooks are sopost to cheap and last hours upon hours. NOT GAMING LAPTOPS EVER. WHAT THE HELL? SURE IS ALIENWARE GIVING INTO FADS.

>>46344874
Your mother could get a high spec PC.

PC gaming is shit anyway. Why am I even in this thread any more?

No.

>>46344772

seriously i see people all the time laughing at gaming laptops but what is so bad about them?


being able to game on the go,especially if you travel alot is a great thing

>>46345307

No, it isn't.

It doesn't mention what GPU it has, which means it has a shit GPU, probably an Intel. This means it will have problems running HL2.

Hold on a second, I'll go look up something.

>>46345363
Ridiculously expensive.
Shit compared to a similarly priced Desktop.
Overheating issues.

>>46345069
Ehem, allow me to list the ones I currently own/can see from my bed.

Oblivion, Army of Two, Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Fallout 3 (GOTY), Fallout 3, Borderlands, Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Kane and Lynch Dead Men, Ghost Recon 2 Advanced Warfighter, Dragonball Z Burst Limit, Iron Man, Heavenly Sword, Grand Theft Auto IV, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, PAIN, Resident Evil 5, Mirror's Edge, Little Big Planet, WET, Guitar Hero 5, Infamous, Warhawk, Uncharted, Tomb Raider Underworld, The Force Unleashed, Resistance Fall of Man, MX vs ATV Untamed, MGS4, Prototype, Call of Duty 4, Indianna Jones 2, Modern Warfare 2, The Beatles Rockband.

Good day sir.

>>46345402

Actually, I just realized that CES is going on (obviously, that's where OP's link comes from), and that now would be a terrible time to buy a computer because prices are all going to drop in a week or two.

>>46345174
I'd fuck your mother again.

>Alienware
Instant sage

I can buy a netbook with a 10 hour battery life AND build a gaming computer for how much that will cost

>>46345307

I say yes it is my good man. Gatewayfag here. They're built really well and easy to upgrade. But just be aware that it's a desktop replacement and still can't compete with a real desktop.

I got mine for college because I knew I'd be moving around with it sometimes. But it is one mother of a laptop, it's xboxhueg. But if your perfectly fine with no LOLCRYSISMAXSETTINGS, then I say go!

>>46345539
I'd fuck your mother IF SHE EXISTED.

>>46345402
Thanks.

Also, calm down faggots. I plan I traveling a fuckton over the next few years, and I don't want to carry anything that not necessary, I.e. a personal computer.

>>46345447
Congratulations on getting trolled! Print your post out, it's your ticket to the short bus. Careful, the world is not nice to people who ride the short bus.

So, if this is the alienware model, will other brands of the same specs come out for around $700?

>>46345649

>>46345402
>Implying you can't click on the overview button.

Its got a Nvidia GTX 260m with 1GB.

I have a GTX 8800m with 512 on my rig and it can run everything I throw at it flawlessly, so obviously this will do just fine.

I do recommend upgrading the CPU if you get it so you won't be bottlenecked though.

In 2 years I will be able to buy a used laptop with these specs for under $300. That sounds awesome.

>>46345816

No prob.

>>46346019
Yes, high powered laptops of today are thrifty patient folks cheap laptop of tomorrow.

>Poor fags complaining about laptops because they can't afford or know how to take care of expensive equipment for more than the lifespan of a single console generation. Also too lazy to calculate the savings of maintenance and care which could easily outperform someone who's terrible with using hardware for more than a year.

KABOOOM

>>46346115
This post doesn't make sense.

Already saving up.

Yea right, the one that starts at $1,000 will probably not have a GT335M GPU, will not have a light up keyboard like the picture and will not have a fast enough processor to do much of anything like gaming and probably a low res screen. Once you add all the extra's to reach the level they describe, think more in the neighborhood of $2,500 I would guess.

Not bad. I might get it if I can dig up some more cash

Whats the exact price? Will it be around 1000 even or a bit lower or what?

>>46343236
Now lets all hope the Customer Support or the system's stability will be fine.

Can someone please tell me how to build a computer for under $700 that can max out all the games this laptop supposedly can and aren't just flaming homosexuals who have no idea what the fuck they're talking about.

>>46346455
no, do it yourself, faggot

Buying laptops for vidya is so retarded that I can see your underage shinning through all of the positive postings

>>46346404
>obviously didn't read the article.
Setting all the customization options to max makes it less than a grand. They already confirmed that.

Have to agree. If they really sell it as described for under $1,000 I'll be shocked. Heck, I might even be tempted to buy one. Fact of the matter is though, no laptop capable of truly playing Crysis with brand new tech in it is going to retail for less than $1,000.

But if they did make it happen, I could see reason for every other 'gaming' laptop on the market to instantly collect dust on retail shelves.

>>46346582
>They already confirmed that.

if they told you it could brew coffee and print money, would you believe them?

>>46346637
The fact is performance is related to size. Because the screen is only 11 inches I can easily see how a GT335m could max out a lot of games since the resolution is only 720p. A lot of people don't realize this.

>Alienware Gaming Netbook

>>46346732
Sure, because if they actually advertised that it would and then it doesn't, false advertising.

Pixels, not size.
>>46346793

>>46346828
>Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job

>>46346847
Plus all the pre-order customer would get pissed.

I do have to point out this though. Most of these "cheap" gaming laptops come with low res screens.

So yes you can max out settings on most games albeit at a lower res then you'd probably like.

>>46346989

4chan hates GAYMEN laptops only because Kotaku and Gizmodo do and have never had one for themselves longer than 10 years.
Truth.

>>46347169
>Never had one for 10 years
Because it's obsolete after 3 and shit for everything else as well as being majorly over priced.

>>46345771

your saying i can build a PC for $800 including OS

excluding monitor keyboard mouse and speakers

this desktop will run all games that were made up to 2009 at max....lets see, i'll newegg this and prove these wana be tech heads wrong

>>46346793
>>46347098
Whoops someone beat me to it.

>>46347169
It's because the majority of 4chan are shut-ins and have no need of a gaming laptop because they spend all their time indoors and under no circumstances will a gamign laptop be superior to a gaming PC for the same price.

>>46347271
I don't know what you're mumbling about in the rest of your post, but

>your saying i can build a PC for $800 including OS

This is true.

>>46347237
No it's because you don't know how to take care of shit, if you weren't so busy breaking shit and always gimme gimme all the time you would have the patience of not being a faggot.

With a smaller screen, you ain't gonna need a high resolution anyway.

Shit is still not worth it though, you can get much better performance with cheaper (albeit on a desktop)

>>46347349
Way to not pay attention bro.

ITT poor ass faggots who work dead end 9-5's

>>46347349
OEM Windows OSs only cost about $40 last time I checked.

>>46347117

>>46347237
I love how all the desktopfags are saying that my laptop will be obsolete in three years time, when their desktop will also be obsolete in the same amount of time.

Granted, can you upgrade a laptop as much as a desktop? No. (Well that actually depends on the laptop you get but that's beside the point.)

>>46347271
Show it to us, and we'll judge it.

tl;dr LAPTOPS ARE BAD FOR GAMERS, SALT IS EASILY TROLLED.

I game on a laptop and do okay. The little mousepad works fine.

>>46348185

How in the hell do you play any kind of game with a mousepad?

Although my troll detectors are starting to go off though.

>>46343236

lol gaming on laptop

Fuck you, Alienware isnt allowed in the master race

>>46348331
It's the two finger trick. Using one as a starter and the second as a jump point you use the calibration of the track pad to zip the cursor really fast by tapping the trackpad.

>>46348398

dude your a fucking tool, go grab your mom's credit card and buy some new egg parts that you wont know what to do with

>>46348331
In TF2, for example, I switch shooting to spacebar and the secondary fire to E. It gets pretty complicated but I've adapted. Shit would feel weird playing the default controls.

ONLIVE IS THE SOLUTION TO LAPTOP GAMING LIMITATIONS

i game on my laptop and it's fine. it is a workstation, though, so the card isn't optimized for gaming. it still manages respectable framerates on most shit.

>>46348398

I actually agree with this statement. Alienware is overpriced to the extreme.

If your going to get a gaming laptop, at least get one from anyone else but them.

>>46347514
actually, I'm a hotel manager. I'm most likely a lot more wealthy and satisfied with my life than you ever will be :(

doesn't mean that I can't look for bargains! I'm not a consumer whore either. to be successful, you look after your money, not "WEEEEEE MONEY LOLOLOLOL". well, I'm sure you get the idea. or maybe you don't? just like 99% of the worlds population! have fun staying poor! HAHAHA :D

You're not seriously bragging about being a hotel manager, right?

Wow £4? That's super cheap where can I buy one.

Now here's the part when you tell me you want to play WoW in the airport or some stupid bullshit like that.

I don't get why the idea of gaming on a laptop is bad

Wow this thing is cheaper than a large big mac.

For the amount this costs it's fucking awesome.

>>46349157

This man has it right. Although I couldn't bear playing on an 11 in. screen. Too small for me, I need my 17 in.

they are more expensive than a desktop

these are all really important
