Overall Assessment/Reviews
...Good to Very Good!
The Gaming PC is spouting a new hybrid of computer - it
is not exactly portable in the sense of a traditional notebook
and it's not exactly a desktop computer or even a desktop
replacement. It's more of a 'moveable or mobile desktop'!
It might seem at first to be just a matter of semantics, but
there really is a new style or type of notebook computer that's
being designed for the gaming market that has to be put in
a class of its own. It deserves separate billing!
These machines are not meant to be portable (as in frequent
traveling) but simply a moveable desktop that can be transported
very quickly over short distances. Unlike traditional notebooks,
battery life and weight are not as important in the 'moveable desktop'
- what really counts is performance. Big Emphasis on performance.
These computers are maxed to the limit in regards to technical
performance - the faster the better. Graphics, visuals, and audio
are given center stage and tweaked to perfection. The entertainment
value rules the day.
The trick is get a 'Top of the line' desktop capabilities or specs
in a movable package that can be transported with relative ease.
An escort to your next LAN party that will 'wow' them over.
Style is also paramount in a 'Mobile Desktop' - second to performance.
Designed for eye-popping effects, it has to look 'cool' or it's
dead in the water.
But it's not style over substance. Some examples of this
new 'Mobile desktop' would be the Alienware Area-51m 7700
from Alienware.com
Compared to the traditional notebooks, the Area-51m 7700 is very
heavy, 12 pounds with two pounds more for the power supply. It sports
an Intel Pentium 4 530 (3.0GHz) desktop processor instead of a mobile
processor. Powering the graphics is the new NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Go
coupled with 256MB of memory and the PCI Express interface.
Display is a is large 17" WXGA screen that can nicely handle
high resolution graphics.
The 5,400rpm hard drive is relatively small at 40GB. It has
a large range of ports and a 7-in-1 media reader.
The NEW hardware magazine, GigaHz, in their February 2005 issue
gave the new Alienware Area-51m 7700 5 out of 5 in its rating
system. Mainly for incorporating the NVIDIA GeForce 6800Go
graphics with Intel's PCI-Express bus architecture to give
the maximum performance.
If you order or config an Alienware Area-51m 7700 make
sure you get the new PCI-Express and the latest graphics card -
most gamers already know this but it needs mentioning - especially
if you want a gaming machine that does not disappoint.
In any case Alienware Area-51m 7700 should make any gamer's list
of top picks! Check out this machine before you buy a 'gaming pc'.
Battery Life: 60 minutes
Size: 15.6" Width X 11.7" Height X 2.1" Depth
Cons: Short battery life, small hard drive.
Pros: High End gaming 'mobile desktop', stylish design and presentation, powerful performance.
Conclusion: The Area-51m 7700 has all the features of a good Gaming Machine. Is it the ultimate 'Gamer'? --
- it may come close but the jury is still out.
