Alienware's Little Notebook - Yes, it Plays Crysis

A small fast computer!!, finaly!!.. why they take so long??

sweet.

All that for under $1000? Wow.

They had to pry it out of the Developer's and the Tech's Hands first before they could finally finish the product and ship it!

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.

"Yes, it Plays Crysis"
C'mon, guys, I gotta ask it once before they whup crysis for good!

i'll believe it when i see it, i will never be sold (in regards to laptops) until i see it first hand.

But can it play Cryostasis?

11.6" and can play some of the newest games? Sounds like a winner, especially with HDMI output so you can hook up to the living room television.

Also, I like the way Alienware does their keyboards. They're well lit, but not glaring to the point it distracts you from the images on your screen.

nice photoshop there on the last pic. there's no way the Enterprise would look that good on a TN panel from that viewing angle.

I see no cooling vents, if they're just on the bottom, airflow will be problematic, this thing will be scorchingly hot. an 11" display is no good for much serious work.

1000 good deal

@warezme, it does but it also has another GPU i forget what it is, something Nvidia, that can be turned on and off like wifi.

All you MAC haters...keep hatin. LOL!

small powerful but ugly ~

Under $1000 means $999 plus shipping and tax depending on where you live. Crysis is now 2 years old, question is will it play Crysis 2 on dx11? How about that?

You might also notice that its floating in space... those are not meant to be actual shots, they look like nice renders.

but can it play skifree?

But can it play Skifree?

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.

The're on the back, next to the power connector.

does it run GTA4???

I hope they put a decent resolution on it (1680x1050).
I do like having but a discrete and integrated GPU also. So you can use it on the go and still game when you want to. Though how powerful the GT335M will be seems to be the most important question.
With all luck, it has a 25W quad core too. =D

It's been a while since I was interested in buying something from Nvidia.

Ooooh! I want one to try out the new solitaire in win7. I think I have the money, well maybe not the cents.

hmmm so it can play crysis... but can it play shattered horizon?

I think he really meant to say...

But can it Cook Eggs?

Can it play Far Cry?

Does it have a Hemi?

seriously... i don't really see the point... here is why...
1. Will you actually play Crysis on 11.6 inches? No. Or you may for 10 minutes just to show it off... but seriously it doesn't sound practical...
2. What else can you do on it? Well its powerful so you can do professional work on it... oh wait it has an alien as a logo... doesn't sound to professional...
3. Well maby your in engineering college and you need something powerful to do CAD work but you also like to have fun... oh wait... its impossible to do CAD on a such tiny monitor or any sorts of programming on really anything.
4. Ok So your in a state college you need to take notes but you want to play games on your larger screen back at your room... First i don't know how much res is the small screen ... but the little laptop may not have enough juice to power your big screen... But again how bout you bu a net book for cheap for your notes and doodling in class and buy a rig with the rest for your dorm.... which is sure to be better then whatever inside that little thing

alienware enjoys the good ol bait and switch, they advertise a laptop thats great at gaming, and they say prices starting at $xxx

then when you look into it you see that if you get it at the starting price, you will be stuck with a crappy onboard intel videocard and a outdated CPU and barely any memory and some how it still gives you crappy battery life

the same goes for a lot of produces, you see a car ad, you see it doing tons of cool stuff and every feature you could want and then they say prices starting at

then you look into it and find out that to get the features you likes in the ad, you would have to spend like an extra $10,000-15,000 on the car.


when it comes to gaming PC's these ads are targeted at the novice computer users who don't know much about hardware
so they see something that catches their eye then they see the starting price and think everything is great and buy it then take it home then find out it cant run any of the games they like, but they don't know why because they don't understand what the hardware means, so they blame the problem on viruses and spyware that some many ads and company try to scare them with, then they end up taking their system to a repair place complaining that it is running slow. The repair shop then charges them an arm and a leg and then reformat and reinstall the OS and send it back to them

the user then again tries to run their games and it is still slow but not they cant really return it and there stuck with a overpriced and underpowered computer

if any of you have done computer repair jobs, you will fully understand how often this happens, (I usually test the system in front of them and pull up the specs then tell them right there that it is not a software problem and that they bought a slow computer and recommend they return it and get their money back)

LIEZ! They must be lying because it is not possible!
