m15x Pictures!!!

I just found at Engadget, a lot of pictures that are from the official presentation of the Alienware Notebook.
I'll summarize them to the best I found

Intel Turbo Memory

Buscando un poco, más sobre la utilización de memoria flash en los discos duros me topé con esta memoria que al parecer actúa como el Disco Duro Híbrido. La diferencia? es de 1 GB, bueno 512 MB para guardar información importante del sistema operativo para que así prenda más rápido y otro 512 MB como flash memory del equipo. Todo esto para prolongar la batería del equipo intentando evitar que se prenda el disco duro, me parece bien, pero solo si vas a estar trabajando con Internet o Word, aunque.... deberían chekear la siguiente página ofrece un estudio y una conclusión lógica.

Hybrid Drives

Looking at the Specs of the Alienware Notebook, I noticed that there's a new form of Hard Drive, more faster because of the Flash memory that it has. I don't know if it's true but I managed to get some info of it at Wikipedia.com

Hybrid drive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about the computer hard disk. For the automobile propulsion system, see Hybrid Synergy Drive.
A hybrid drive, a.k.a. Hybrid Hard Drive (HHD), is a type of large-buffer computer hard disk drive. It is different from standard hard drives in that it employs a large buffer of non-volatile flash memory to cache data during normal use. By primarily using this large buffer for non-volatile data storage, the platters of the hard drive are at rest almost all of the time, instead of constantly spinning as they are in current hard drives. This offers numerous benefits, chief among them speed,[1] decreased power consumption, improved reliability, and a faster boot process.

Hybrid drives were first released, primarily for notebook computers, in early 2007. Samsung was the first to market with the new drives, having released the first hybrid drives to OEMs in March of 2007[2].

At the moment, they are only known to be fully compatible with the Windows Vista operating system[3]; Microsoft uses the name ReadyDrive to describe the software side of this technology.

The command interface will be standardized in the new revision 8 of the ATA standard.

m15x

'M15x' and 'm17x' are two new notebooks that Alienware is going to sell. Mainly, they are the new powerhouses for gaming in notebooks. Why? Because they both come with the new m8000 GTX of Nvidia, the 'crème de la crème'.

The Specs are the following:

Assassin's Creed

No he tenido tiempo de escribir sobre este juego, sin embargo me parece uno de los mejores, que para el momento en el que escribo esta entrada ya salió.
Este juego consiste en un asesinoal cual se le encomienda asesinar a un sujeto dentro de la ciudad de Jerusalem, durante las cruzadas. Una impresionante historia, gráficas y movimientos.

Lo que realmente impacta son las gráficas impresionantes que han empleado, haciendo uso del DirectX 10, los movimientos y en sí cada contraataque durante los combates con los guardias de la ciudadte hacen vivir el momento.

Este juego está disponible para Xbox 360, Playstation 3 y la PC.

Notebook Video Card Upgrades?

Searching for ways of improving my new Compaq V3418LA I found that Nvidia is developing a new way to easily change GPU's.

How? Well by having a special socket called MXM (Mobile PCI Express Module), you're going to be able to swap between GPU's with ease. Although there aren't any graphics express cards yet, this seems to be a really impressive way to upgrade faster our laptops! Since we don't have to buy a new laptop everytime a new DirectX comes out for example.

Por Vacaciones...

Estas vacaciones me voy a ir a trabajar a Estados Unidos, si todo va bien creo que voy a comprar una laptop, sin embargo como ya les mencioné tengo una Compaq V3418LA, no muy buena para juegos y animación 3D que es en lo que quiero meterme, por eso dudo. Esta laptop me ha servido para trabajar todo lo que he querido, a excepción de editar videos..




Si no la comprase estaría comprando un DS Lite ¿Por qué? Creo que es la mejor de las dos consolas, la PSP es a pesar de ser una potente portátil, se gasta rápido la batería y por otro lado me gustan más la idea de tener dos pantallas y un stylus con el que moverme.

Product Features
It's less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more than 20 percent lighter.
Its two bright screens can be adjusted to four levels to adapt to different lighting conditions and to extend battery power.
The microphone sits in the center of the unit, and the LED lights are clearly visible whether the unit is open or closed.
The stylus is 1 centimeter longer and 1 millimeter thicker than the stylus of the original, and slides into a side storage slot.
The Start and Select buttons were repositioned for easier access.

Los juegos que quiero jugar, en el DS, son los juegos tipo strategia, basados en el sistema de turnos. Cómo Fire Emblem, sin embargo me intriga la versión de DS que van a sacar de Assassin's Creed.

A system so powerful and advanced, gaming itself will have to evolve...

I want to start this blog with my search for the perfect laptop, many rumors are out there in the web about the new Dell XPS, I looked around and gather the following information.
