Alienware M18x - Strong and Powerful !!

Alienware has updated its high-end, 18-inch M18x gaming laptop with some new components, and the result is an incredibly powerful machine. It's been dubbed the Alienware M18x for some time now, but this latest version adds 2nd Generation Intel's Core i7 processor for even more power.

Oddly, the 18-inch wide-screen, which is usually a sight to behold on a gaming laptop, is one of the M18x's weaker points. It weighs 5.41kg and measures Front: 53.00mm (2.09 inches), Rear: 54.20mm (2.13 inches), Depth: 322.00 mm (12.68 inches), Width: 436.00 mm (17.17 inches). So it's really far too big and heavy to move on a frequent basis, except possibly from room to room.

Despite the glossy display, our gaming experience wasn't ruined by annoying reflections, because the M18x's screen is very bright indeed. The M18x will crush your spine with its monumental chassis, and then make your brains dribble out of your nose with its performance.

Even though Alienware found the biggest battery (97Whr) available for the M18x, it couldn't keep up with its battery-guzzling parts, namely the processor and SLI graphics cards. Alienware M18x is the complete package, as its looks can stand in the spotlight with its parts.

Laptop: We all know Samsung is not a big Laptop Brand but they’re known for HDD & DVD Writer Manufacturer for Laptops. This model is of Samsung SERIES 300, which is a very stylish & portable series.


Decision & Pricing: First I was leaning towards Dell Vostro 1450 (i5 2nd Gen, 2 Gb RAM) which was for 35K, then Asus Lappy with i7 (DOS & 2GB Graphics), then I decided to go with Samsung NP300E5Z-A0HIN because it is DOS based which saves some money. It is available for 32K INR + Samsung Laptop Bag.


Specs:
Intel® Core™ i5 Processor 2450M (2.50 GHz, 3 MB L3 Cache)

Apple iPad Finally in India..!!

Apple’s iconic game-setter tablet computer, iPad has been finally launched in India, almost nine months after it made its debut across several countries. Apple will officially launch the iPad tablet in India on 28th January 2011.

The first-generation iPad hit the U.S. retail stores in April 2010 and the India launch happens almost an year later, at a time when Apple is widely expected to release iPad 2 in Western markets. 

Apple iPad has a 9.7-inch display with a 1024 x 768 resolution. The cheapest 3G variant – 16 GB – has been priced at Rs 34,900. The 32 GB and 64 GB models have been priced at Rs 39,900 and Rs 44,900 respectively.

The iPad is something in between its monumental iPhone and wildly successful MacBook line -- a usurper to the netbook throne, and possibly a sign of things to come for the entire personal computer market... if Apple delivers on its promises. And those are some big promises; the company has been tossing around words like "magical" and "revolutionary" to describe what many have dismissed as nothing more than a larger version of its iPod touch.

Apple has tied up with Indian government run mobile operator, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) to launch the iPad in the country. BSNL is offering both prepaid and postpaid plans. Unlimited usage costs Rs 999 per month in both prepaid and postpaid. There is a limited usage plan at Rs 599 per month with free 6GB of usage. In prepaid, there is also a daily unlimited plan at Rs 99 with one day validity. Both pre-paid and post-paid plans have activation charges of Rs 100.
