The spaceship works like out of this world! IT came without any bloatware whatsoever, except Nero Essentials and Cyberlink PowerDVD for Blu-ray burning and playback respectively.Every apps run slick and smooth like butter.
Just got Fallout 3 Collector Edition, and it ran MAX setting at 1920 x 1200 Ultra High. So far all games ran at max setting 1920 x 1200, except Crysis and the Nvidia Medusa demo. Crysis CAN run at 1920 x 1200, I just have to whittle down the details to medium. I have yet to find a middleground for the Medusa demo to run satisfactorily. The only problem I had was finding a graphics card driver that ran great with the games AND with Blu-ray playback on Cyberlink PowerDVD. In the end, I had to "cook" the 179.13 and 180.43 driver so that Cyberlink PowerDVD accepts it for Blu-ray playback. Running fine now after modding the drivers. A possible point of disgust would also be the trackpad sporting the same smooth surface material as the rest of the chassis. The LED lining around the trackpad basically outlines where the trackpad starts and where the chassis ends, and it may get confusing when you're looking at the screen and not the pad when moving the cursors around. Thankfully, I've moved up to using the Logitech G5 mouse for all mousing purposes. |

Will be at Starbucks KL Sentral with the iPhone guys, the gathering's today at 2030.
My camcorder is fine, just the "Web quality" setting basically reduces everything to a smear. |

Also set to pulsate if you want to. It's ALLLLLIIIIIVEEEEEE! *Cue X-files theme song* nice system you have there man! I am a former Aurora owner, back in those old days while AMD was "the gaming cpu". Heck it was SLi-ed too. Anyway m15x was in my cart list but then when you (actually me!) have waited since last November for a BLACK SKULLCAP m15x and until today there's no response from AW, I have given it up (that's like what, almost a year of waiting?!) I was insisted if I were to have my 2nd Alienware, it must come in black and skullcap. m15x seems to fit my lifestyle of utilizing a laptop but instead AW announce the new m17 which definitely a turned off for me. Sorry for the long introduction and rant, just wanted to say keep it coming man! |
