Alienware's new netbook can run Crysis

	Quote: Alienware revealed its new mini gaming marvel at CES 2010 this week and, in even better news, also revealed that it will cost US gamers less than $1000, and that it has a battery life of 6 1/2 hours, which lasts about 2 hours during "intense gaming".

I wish I could believe the average battery life figures you see reported :oops:

Re: Alienware's new netbook can run Crysis

That microsite is truly one of the most useless things I've ever seen. It contains almost no actual information at all.

I doubt the thing is going to be near light enough to qualify as a netbook for one thing. If you can't easily carry it with one hand, it's just a laptop with an inadequately small screen.

I rarely go near sites like that for that very reason...

Yeah, it is gonna stretch the definition of netbook, but then I spose a lot of the manufacturers are doing that already

Surely isn't this the reason for the demise of the netbook? They're becoming more powerful and more expensive and less cost-effective compared to cheaper notebooks?
