Some were undoubtedly disappointed when the news came that Alienware is discontinuing its 'gaming netbook', the M11x. Luckily there is still hope for anyone looking for a really small gaming laptop, thanks to the brand new Clevo W110ER. It basically delivers desktop performance in an 11.6-inch form ...

A good cooling stand is probably the most important accessory for gaming laptops--even if you don't dabble in overclocking, a high-end machine gets really hot when you play games on it. There are plenty of laptop coolers on the market and some of them are quite useless. I'm personally using a ...

The wireless card is something where a lot of manufacturers make cutbacks, which is really unfortunate considering the comparatively small price premium to get a 'Killer' card instead of one of the usual dime-a-dozen Intel modules (not counting Intel's rather uncommon Ultimate-N).The difference ...

Dell released the new Alienware lineup a bit earlier than expected, and so we learned that the M17x came with an option for a still rather mysterious AMD Radeon HD 7970M. Now that the specs for the 7000M series are official it looks like--at least according to AMD-- that the 7970M is vastly ...

The AMD Radeon HD 7690M XT found in lots of HP laptops at the moment is already an overclocked card--the HD7690M is actually an HD 6770M with a higher memory clock--so it should have been unlikely to go much further, but as it turns out it's actually possible to squeeze a few extra frames per ...

Asus has uploaded the manuals to its upcoming 15.6-inch G55VW and 17.3-inch G75VW gaming laptops - successors to the G53SX and G74SX - and they contain some interesting tidbits, including information on how to set up a RAID array.For those new to RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive/Independent ...

Toshiba has just unveiled new laptops in the manufacturer's high-end Qosmio lineup. The new X875 and X875 3D will come with Intel's still-unreleased Ivy Bridge processors and a faster graphics card than their predecessors.By the looks of it the design has also been updated with a somewhat less ...
