We recently looked at the new gaming laptop from Dell, the Alienware M17x, and now Maingear has launched a rival gaming laptop the eX-L 18. The question is, can Maingear beat the aliens?
Laptops and gaming haven’t always gone hand-in-hand as laptop designers are often concerned with battery life and weight. However the designers over at Alienware have created a laptop bursting with power that is ready for hardcore game players. The Alienware M17x is a formidable machine with high specs and lots of alien juice.
Dell has released a new business-minded ultraportable laptop the Vostro 1220. With a compact 12.1 inch screen and weighing 1.52kg the Vostro 1220 makes an easy travel companion. The 12.1in Widescreen WXGA (1280 x 800) display means the Vostro isn’t a netbook but the small size and weight makes it a small laptop aimed specifically at small businesses and those who travel a lot.
The kind folks at Dell are offering free return flights to the US or Europe for punters willing to pony up the requisite cash for an Inspiron 15 or Studio 15 laptop, now isn’t that generous…
Hold onto your hats folks because the kind people at Dell have reliably informed us that the wraps are now well and truly off the new Studio XPS 435 desktop machine in the UK - and boy does it sound tempting.
Some time ago now, I bought a Dell SC440 Power Edge server. Not because I needed it per se, more because I wanted it. And as any gadget fan will tell you, thats the reason most of these purchases happen. When it arrived, I had to choose an OS. As WHS is too pricey for my liking, I turned to penguin land, and Ubuntu in particular.
Back in March, I wrote an article about Carbonite, where I reported on a possible loss of data effecting users backups. Very quickly, we had a response to the post from the CEO of Carbonite David Friend, who stated that there had been a problem with the firmware on the Promise servers they were using. Although it had effected some users, it certainly was not the calamity it had been made out to be, and he had phoned those people effected individually to apologize.
