WidowPC's new line of laptops to compete with Dell
Sporting the industries fastest Dual Core CPU and GPU for laptops with a starting price of $2195, $100 less than Dell’s offering WidowPC hopes to break Dell’s market dominance in this area.
The laptop itself will feature a 17-inch widescreen display (1920x1200), wireless support, Bluetooth, TV tuner, memory card slots and approximately $400 in free software, which probably isn’t free so much so it is heavily discounted.
Well it is about time someone challenged Dell’s market dominance in this area, pending exploding batteries, I think we can see a more competitive Dell now that it has competition to speak of in the ‘gaming enthusiasts’ section. An area of the market Dell has invested heavily in to dominate over the years.
Is it a good purchase for gamers or performance enthusiasts on the go? Well no, apart from the fact it must suck the batteries juices like there's no tomorrow it isn’t a good time to buy one since the components it has, though extremely powerful, will soon be discontinued.
The dual core CPU will inevitably be superseded by a quad core CPU in the near future. However more importantly the GPU only supports up to Directx 9.0 meaning you won’t be getting the most of ‘Windows Vista’ which supports Directx 10 pending its release.
