Bullet Points about Alienware Notebooks
The pcmag.com article about the Alienware Aurora m5550 allows me to extract a few generalities about Alienware notebooks:
- The Dell acquisition allows Alienware access to the latest Intel chips. Evidently, this was a problem before selling out to Dell.
- Battery life is a joke with a half-life of about one hour.
- All modern notebook computers operate at least at the Fahrenheit boiling point.
- Alienware buttons (especially the touchpad buttons) click loudly. This is probably an indicator of durability for gaming.
- “Video-editing professionals and HD enthusiasts have the most to gain from the Intel Core 2 Duos.” This is a reference to the Intel chip itself and nothing else about anything specific to Alienware design.
