Alienware Area 51 – M7700 - The Dream

Flashback year 2006, everyone in the computer world got stunned as Alienware unveiled their new breed of customizable gaming laptop, the Alienware Area 51. Back then, this gaming laptop was hands down every gamers’ dream for a gaming laptop. If not for its steep price back then, everyone would probably work double jobs just to get their hands on this formerly jaw-dropping gaming notebook – including myself.

What more could a gamer ask for in a gaming laptop? What game or 3d application do you think would not be running without a snag on the Alienware Area 51 M7700’s 3.8 GHz of hyper threading raw processing power provided by Intel’s Pentium 4 processor? Add Nvidia’s GeForce 7800 GTX with 256mb of dedicated memory for stunning visuals. Not to mention its 4 GB of PC5300 DDR 2 of ram. And of course, nobody with a right mind would settle for less than 7200 rpm for a hard drive given you already have all the previously mentioned top performing specs. Definitely not I!

Oh well, those were the days when all I could do is daydream on getting my hands on the world’s best gaming laptop. Luckily for me, the time for daydreaming is over. Even with our present economic challenges, I have managed well enough to be able to finally get myself the gaming laptop that I deserve.

Dilemma to get Alienware Area 51 - M7700

Ok. Now here is the funny part. I finally got enough cash to splurge on my dream gaming laptop right? So shopping I tried to do. And guess what? Alienware does not sell my dream no more! How ironic. How ironic indeed. I guess my dream will have to remain a dream for a little bit longer – Oh yes! I definitely am not giving up on this baby!

After countless hours trying to get quality information from Alienware’s customer support on how I could get my hands on the Alienware Area 51 M7700, I gave up on the Alienware’s horrific customer service and I took a step back to assess what options I got left in getting what I have dreamed of.

Then it hit me. EBay! There, I finally found one Alienware Area 51 M7700! Right then and there, I almost purchased it outright specially with it’s less than $ 1,000 price tag. Lucky for me I did not let my emotions get the better of me. I checked on the details of the unit being sold by this EBay seller. It does look like it’s in excellent condition; I will give the unit that. However, the configured specs are a little low for my taste. And the worst part? No option for a warranty! Oh no! Definitely not going with that one now. Not unless I want to end up going bald for issues that might arise after buying the rig.

The Solution

Just when things seemed too dark, a light shined at service.ztronics.com. They had some of the few Alienware Area 51 M7700 left on the planet. And not just that. There units are configured even better than how I dreamed it should be years back. And the best part? They have a 1 year warranty as an option. Need I say more?

At long last, I’m off gaming with what the critics and gamers alike dubbed as the best gaming laptop for months on end. All thanks to everyone at service.ztronics.com specially their top-notch customer service!

One of the most increasingly popular items on the computer market today is laptops; as opposed to their desktop counterparts, laptops offer mobility and great versatility. In today’s ever increasing and demanding world, the ability to take your work with you wherever you go can really simplify your life. With laptops, doing this is easy and actually quite pleasurable.

Laptop computers generally have long last batteries that can be charged up and used for hours on end, without the need to plug in to an outlet. This is a great feature, since many people who use laptops prefer to take them many places that may not have any available power outlets. Some of the best laptops with very long lasting batteries are Acer laptops; if you are in the market for a laptop and are primarily looking for one that will be incredibly portable and feature a durable, long lasting battery, then an Acer laptop just might be right for you.

Acer laptops are among the lightest and most portable available on the market today. They are immensely popular for that reason, and because they come in a wide range of colors and designs. All of the models in Acer’s lineup have state of the art, cutting edge features and stack up quite favorably among the laptops of other major manufacturers. Acer laptops also boast interfaces and systems which are equal to, or even surpassing, those of many desktop PCs. No matter what kind of specifications you may have in mind, you should have no problem finding an Acer laptop that is up to the job.

It can be confusing and even rather difficult trying to figure out what kind of laptop to purchase. One easy to way to narrow down your search is to limit it to only Acer laptops. By doing this, you are immediately guaranteeing that the laptop you end up with will be of quality design and have all of the latest, most technologically savvy features. People who know a lot about laptops tend to favor the Acer brand, because they generally are on the cutting edge of laptop technology. You will find it far easier to make a decision, too, by limiting your search to Acer brand laptops.

There is such a large lineup of Acer laptops that you will then need to decide what kinds of features are absolutely essential to you. One immediate and quite obvious decision to make is whether you want a laptop or a netbook. While a laptop really is basically a desktop PC in miniature, a netbook is a more minimalistic machine; they are primarily used to get online and surf the Internet. For this reason, though, they are incredibly affordable when compared with full blown laptops. If you don’t need fancy word processing programs, for example, and mainly plan to use your laptop for getting online, an Acer netbook might be the right choice for you.

Once you have narrowed down your search to either an Acer laptop or an Acer netbook, you can research the various available models online. Decide how much RAM you will require, and how large a screen and keyboard you would like. After you’ve determined your basic hardware requirements, you can get to the fun stuff: Acer laptops come in a splendid array of colors and some of them even have trendy and interesting designs on them, to make them truly unique.

The Frightening Truth:

Laptops have become one of those devices that is quickly going, and in some cases, already quickly gone from something that only techies or high level business people owned to something that even a poor college student finds a way to afford.  This is simply that our lives become wrapped around these objects.  Think of the cell phone.  Ten to 15 years ago it was again only the techies or important business people that owned a cell phone.  Now even elementary school kids have them so parents can be in constant contact when necessary.

We all have had the moment when we though we had misplaced our cell phone.  Imagine losing your laptop.  Not only is it a fairly significant expense, but think of the data you have on there.  You probably keep a file with account numbers, you have your family pictures stored there, maybe music, movies.  The list is a long one and an important one. 

Therefore, make sure you follow the recommendations in this article on how to protect your laptop.

The convenience of the laptop is obvious.  The computing power and versatility are equivalent to most desktop computers.  With the advent of wi-fi we can be on the internet almost anywhere and be emailing, chatting, writing, surfing the net or shopping, all anywhere in the world.

Here are some daunting statistics for laptop loss from 2008:

Relevant Data Loss and Data Breach Statistics

1 in 10 …laptop computers will be stolen within the first 12 months of purchase. 97% …of lost and stolen notebooks are never recovered. 50% …of organizations reported laptop theft. Every 43 seconds …a computer is reported stolen. Every 3 days … an information security breach is reported in the U.S. 82% …of all PC’s will be mobile devices by 2008, increasing 4 times as fast as PCs. 4,425 …laptops reported left behind in Chicago taxis during a six month period. 56 million …individuals affected by significant U.S. data security breaches, 2005. 1 billion …PC users expected by 2010, up from 660-670 million today. 57% …of corporate crimes are linked to stolen laptops. The latest crimes of espionage and sabotage are theft of executive personnel devices to access vital financial or personnel data.

( data source: datarevoke.com)

How Much Does Laptop Loss Cost?:

That completely depends on how you look at it and who is doing the looking….

Personal Laptop:

The actual cost here is the cost of the laptop and if stolen while in the laptop bag (most often this is the case) then you’ve lost all your accessories as well.  Not to mention possibly your wallet, MP3 player, passport (eek!).  Obviously the actual cost of items and the intangible loss of items such as wallets, all your stored music, your passport, etc. are vastly different.

Business or Corporate Laptop:

Here the intangible costs can be astronomical.  We have heard it on the news more than once and most of us have had it hit us directly with someone in the corporate world losing one or more laptops with critical customer data on it.  The cost the hardware is only about $4000, the information carried upon it was could be worth millions..

Of course, to get to valuable proprietary information is not the reason for all laptop thefts some laptop thieves head try to quickly sell the laptop as-is. However, some data indicate that about 10 percent to 15 percent of those laptops are stolen by criminals intent on selling the data.

How to Protect Your Laptop:

With this in mind, what can we do as individuals to prevent our own personal loss?

Laptop Security Cables:

This is one of the lowest cost and one of the most effective deterrents to theft.  As with most theft attempts, even a small amount of effort can make a huge difference.  For this to work you need to make sure that your laptop is equipped with the appropriate feature to attach a cable.  This is called a Universal Security Slot.

It is important to pay attention to what you are attaching the laptop and cable to.  You sometimes have to think like a thief.  If you really wanted to get that laptop could you?  If you answer is yes, then you need to add more security.  Consider looping the cable through a hole drilled in the lag of the desk.  If you just loop it around the leg than all it takes is some one strong enough to lift the desk enough to slip the cable under the leg and whoosh! your laptop is gone…

Keep Your Laptop Out of Sight:

If you are not with your laptop then it should be secured in a locked drawer or in the possession of someone you trust (for the short trip to the restroom for example).  Especially if you are in a public place like an airport, bookstore, or your favorite coffee shop.  Never leave your bag alone.

Some laptop cases scream “I have a laptop in here!”

Try to use a carrying case for your laptop that may be a bit beat up or at least not look like it obviously contains a laptop.  This may be difficult to do but can be a real effective way to have a thief move on to the next victim without bothering your precious laptop inside your ugly bag.

How to Protect Your Data:

I’m sure you’ve had moments when you couldn’t locate a file that you knew you had stored on your laptop.  The feeling of panic can be terrible until you find it.  Imagine your hard drive failing (it happens!).  You would lose all your important files – pictures, videos, everything. 

Therefore, first and most important is external storage.  External storage can be something as simple as a USB Flash Drive also known as a thumb drive (about the size of your thumb….) or a large external drive (about the size of an average hardcover book)

The type of external storage you select will depend on your needs.  If you just keep basic files (i.e. “Word” documents or spreadsheets, etc) then a thumb drive could be enough (and they are very inexpensive) and can store up to 32 Gigabytes of data or if you are willing to pay a bit more they are larger storage capabilities available.  If you plan on storing large files such as lots of photos and videos then you may need to step up in capacity with an external hard drive.  They store up to 2 “Terabytes” (2000 Megabytes) of data.

Laptops are now becomes the important need of most of the people in India. Demands of laptops are mostly amongst youngsters and professionals of India. No doubt that the Indian market is full of branded laptops and each version has its own specialty. This is good but this is also very confusing, if you see from the laptop buyer’s side. Actually there are many people who want to a laptop for his/her person or professional use but they are quit confusing in selecting the configuration of laptop as per their need. Due to some misunderstanding buyers are unable to get the appropriate features which they were looking for their uses then purchasing of laptop is just spoiled. So the first thing that should be clear at the time of purchasing laptop is configuration of laptop and your need from laptop.

If you have make up your mind with all your need from laptop and features side then start buying laptop with a very lower price. This will really helps you in getting all your need in an inexpensive price. Just notice the feature that fulfills your requirements and also notice the costing of features, if it is suitable for you then fix it. The most important thing which is considered at the time of buying laptop is that the technology and features of laptop is latest. Always prefer next generation gazettes especially in laptops.

Another important thing to consider at the time buying laptop is the size of laptop. Remember that notebooks often come at a higher price than laptop. If you are a busy traveler’s kind of person then size of laptop really matters to you because if you are carrying a large screen laptop then you may feel uncomfortable with your laptop. So always prefer a small seized laptop. But if the person is very found of music and movies then they can opt a wide screen laptop.

But the real fact about the wide screen laptop is that the battery back up of laptop very much dependent on the screen of laptop. If the screen of laptop is small means 13 inch then it is very beneficial for the life of battery.

So the next time when go for buying laptop in India then you must think for these points because this will really helps you in getting a best laptop. Many new version of laptops are recently introduced Hp notebooks India which has best kind features with a very exiting price.

The correct term should be what is the best laptop for the needs of the user, as there is a whole multitude of laptop makes – models with different specifications there really is no best laptop. To find the laptop that’s right for you we first need to ascertain the basics that just about every laptop should have – Wired and wireless networking capabilities – at least 2gb of ram and the hard drive should be a minimum of 80gb as just about every later version of operating systems, applications and games are larger than previous versions requiring more disk space, and today a 40gb hard drive is simply not large enough.

What else needs to be considered? Size / Portability – Processor or CPU – Operating system – Graphics – USB Ports – CD/DVD drive – Screen Size – Aesthetics – Laptop Role – Saving Money.

Size / Portability – the most common laptop screen sizes are between 13-15 inches, due to this it generally means the lowest prices, which is great if you are out to save some money, but if you travel around a lot then a heavy laptop could work out to be more in Osteopath fees than the total cost of the laptop, so if you travel a lot a small laptop is a real blessing, after all even if the laptop itself is not too heavy, by the time we add the mains adapter, a padded case, plus anything else you need to carry, it can start to get pretty heavy specially if carried around for a while. The same cannot really be said for 17” laptops, if your looking for something with a larger screen that is fine, but if you need to travel at all why not invest in a small laptop and put the extra money towards getting a 19” external screen which is bigger and can also be used in conjunction with the laptop screen, in effect giving two screens.

Processor or CPU – Processors have changed a lot over the past few years and now it seems many companies appear to be bolting on more and more processor cores. So at present a laptop needs to have a dual core processor or above. Dual core is the present standard with Intel’s Core 2 Duo and AMD’s Turion 64 x2, both are very good processors, but my personal opinion is AMD has the edge due to its cheaper price. If you don’t mind waiting and have the money, checkout some of the Quad core laptops coming onto the market.

The Operating system – If you want a laptop with Windows XP and you have found you can only purchase with Windows Vista (which is more common now) do not just presume that you can simply wipe away Vista and replace with XP, a lot of new pc hardware may not have XP drivers developed for it, this can create real headaches when trying to change over to XP.

Graphics Cards – it is generally not possible to replace or upgrade the video capabilities on a laptop computer, usually whatever video card is installed thats what your laptops stuck with, If you are into gaming or need other high end graphic performance the laptop will need a graphics card with dedicated memory, otherwise graphic performance of your application will suffer if it involves in depth graphics or high end gaming.

USB ports – You can never have enough, the average amount of USB ports on a laptop is 4 this may sound like plenty, but once you plug in peripherals such as a keyboard –printer– mouse – pen drive it wont seem so many, of course you could always purchase an external hub, as they are very cheap, but best option is to buy a laptop with more ports in the first place. Another point worth checking; Every laptop should have USB type 2 ports, but its worth checking this to confirm as USB 1 is around 10 times slower.

DVD & CD drive – A lot of the information given in regards to CD/DVD drives can be a little confusing terms such as Single and Dual layer - CD/RW DVD/Rom. Just about all new laptops now should have a Dual layer DVD writer drive this will do just about everything such as reading and writing to CD’s and DVD’s and reading and playing them too.

Screen size – this really covers the portability of the laptop again, the bigger the screen the heavier its going to be, there are also some nice screen technologies around such as tru brite which give the screen a glossy brighter look.

Aesthetics – what would you prefer a slow laptop that looks superb or a faster machine that looks like a brick? When looking for a laptop there is a wide choice available so you should not have to compromise on either, but as a general rule if you have to, compromise on the looks a little but not on the spec.

Laptop role – what will the laptop be used for, general Internet browsing – word documents, pretty much any laptop could do this standing on its head, so the world of laptops is your Oyster. Business applications – large spreadsheets etc, then mid power will be fine, do not need to worry too much about the graphic abilities and a shared memory type should be fine. Gaming or high end graphics require the most powerful processors and graphics cards, be prepared to dig deep if you want to play the latest games with all the extra effects switched on.

Saving Money – If you want a good laptop for a cheaper price you have a number of choices, the first of these is a second user computer, you can save a lot of money this way, but you need to know what your looking at or you could purchase a problem machine or one that is not all what it seems, plus unless it still has warranty left you simply take the risk.

Refurbished computers can offer good value for money, plus you get a warranty too.

Bargain basements – many large computer stores frequently have special offers which can be great value, check on websites for models that have been replaced by a newer model there are some good bargains to be had this way, but be quick as they sell very quickly. checkout more of our other articles at www.computer-adviser.com

Most people love a good bargain and there’s always a deal to be had on electrical items such as cheap laptops. Simply by shopping around, looking for special offers and asking the right questions you can get hold of cheap laptops at an even further discounted rate.

Cheap laptops need just as much thought and consideration when it comes to use, maintenance and storage as the most expensive laptops on the market. After all, it’s not really a bargain if two weeks after your purchase you drop the laptop and smash it! Below are four top tips for looking after cheap laptops (and indeed laptops of all prices!)

1)      Let your laptop breathe

Don’t be tempted to use your laptop when it’s still inside your laptop bag, even if you’re on the move and in a rush! Using a laptop in its bag (or even resting a laptop on a cushion on your knees) can cause heat to build up through poor air circulation. If you often use your laptop on the go then try to rest it on the table on trains or you could create a small platform to sit in your laptop box to help aid air circulation.

2)      Keep your laptop warm

Just like people, cheap laptops can feel the cold and chilly weather conditions and this can be potentially dangerous to your laptop. Don’t be tempted to leave your laptop in your car boot over night in winter (or any time of year as it’ll be much more secure inside) as cold conditions can actually freeze your laptop. You should also keep your laptop free from damp conditions so be especially careful in rooms where condensation can build up in cool weather.

3)      Store your laptop safely

Cheap laptops and more expensive ones both need to be stored correctly. Don’t leave your laptop on the floor, even for a minute. Warm laptops can be very enticing to pets such as cats to make a bed on and all the bright buttons can allure children to your laptop with sticky fingers and spilled drinks. Obviously leaving laptops on the floor can result in them being stood on and completely broken in one step. Make sure your laptop stays safe and store it on a desk (not the kitchen table) or keep it safe in a sturdy laptop bag.

4)      Travelling tips

If you travel with a laptop then invest in a proper laptop bag. No matter how little you pay for cheap laptops, if they’re not carried in a bag designed for laptops they are much less likely to survive being dropped. When travelling on flights, keep your laptop with you at all times as checking it in can mean it gets battered about with the rest of the luggage, or stolen or lost, which if you use your laptop for business purposes can be devastating. All laptops have varying functions and facilities, whether they’re cheap laptops or more pricy ones, so make sure you are familiar with how your laptop works before you take it on a long trip with you. Getting to a foreign country and not knowing how to turn the wireless function on or how to access your emails could be a disaster.

Always keep your eyes peeling for bargains when investing in cheap laptops but once you have yours, don’t forget to treat it with the same respect as if it was twice the price!

Pink is a color associated with women. It is a soft and feminine color, and nowadays, even men are starting to wear pink. Seen on clothes, makeup and cars, pink is now making a wave by adding some attitude to gadgets. IPods, mobile phone, mp3 players, digital cameras, and recently, laptops are seen in hot shades of magenta.

Laptops are no longer known as symbols of the rich or the professionals. They are necessities and can be seen almost everywhere, in schools, colleges, offices, and cafes.

Nowadays, everyone is getting more and more technologically perceptive. Since laptops are commonly seen everywhere, those who want to be unique and different have started to look for ways to make their laptops match their personalities.

Nothing screams personality and attitude more than a pink laptop, right? Computer and laptop manufacturers such as Sony, Dell, LG, and Samsung, to name a few, have started to offer pink laptops. The color pink has proven to add attraction and the extra x-factor that help sell their laptops. Women, especially young teenage girls love those pink laptops, as they are not just useful gadgets, but are also fashion statements.

Say goodbye to boring black, gray, or white gadgets. Bring in some colors into your high-tech gadgets and go for pink. If you have a pink laptop, there is a guarantee that someone will talk to you by either telling you how cool your laptop looks in pink, or by asking you more about your pink laptop because they want to get one too.

You will be the envy of others if you have a pink laptop. It is eye-catching, and will certainly be a conversation starter. You might make new friends and acquaintances by sporting a pink laptop at your favorite café. If you own a business, your pink laptop might help you in getting more clients.

Some computer companies are also offering laptops for charity purposes, such as ****** cancer awareness programs. By purchasing pink laptops from these companies, you are helping towards a charitable purpose, as a percentage of your purchase is donated for charity.

However, if you find that your favorite brand is not offered in pink, you can have your laptop sprayed in pink. You can also choose your favorite shade of pink. Dell XPS and ThinkPad systems are offering custom-painted laptops.

A company names Colorware specializes in custom-painting laptops too, such as Apple laptops. They also offer other colors besides pink. After you have purchased your Apple laptop, you will choose the color that you want. Then, your laptop will be assembled and painted. A special paint with UV protection is used.

Your laptop will also be treated with special chemicals to avoid scratches and damages from wear and tear. When the paint dries up, your laptop is assembled and tested to make sure that it works perfectly. Available at a reasonable price, everyone can have his or her laptops custom-painted.

Pink laptops are cute. Owning one will make you unique, especially if you are looking for individuality. Not compromising on the quality and performance of the machine, pink laptops are must-haves for fashionistas who want to be hip and trendy.

For men, why not get yourself a pink laptop? It is the color of attraction and women will definitely be more attracted to you if you are using one.

Laptops can be sent back to the manufacturer if the purchaser finds the screen of the laptop scratched or with a minor blemish, or if it is an unwanted present to him or if the packaging of the laptop is dented etc. Such laptops are inspected, tested again for quality and repackaged by the manufacturer and sold for a very less price.
