New Zealand, a country known for inventing sane things such as Bungee-Jumping and Glacier-Zorbing has had its government go on the warpath trying to murder all high-powered computing devices, with the institution of a ban on all PCs and Laptops that use too much power. If a PC or laptop does not meet the standards set in place by the new bill it will be illegal to hire it out, rent it, sell or buy it.
What will alienware do about it?
The Pundit Report writes: "Benchmark scores and performance reports from users which show how the overclocked 650m in the rMBP outperforms the Alienware m17x 660m when there is consistent demand, like gaming."
Capsule Computers: "The M17x is the current mid-range laptop in the Mnumberx line of laptops from Alienware. This product line contains the following machines: the M13x, M17x and the M18x laptops. Each one of these varies in power, with the M13x being the weakest and the M18x being the strongest and most powerful. The M17x is the unit that we have received and as a mid-range gaming laptop, you -really- can’t ask for anything better."
Engadget : Never one to let high-powered mobile gaming hardware pass it by, Alienware has announced that its endlessly-tweaked M17x and M18x will both get the chance to dance with NVIDIA's latest GPU belle.
wait WHAT?!?
