Alienware has scheduled a launch event for unspecified new products on the evening of June 10th — the same day as Microsoft and Sony's scheduled press events.

Obviously we know they could be going to announce a refresh of current systems with the new Haswell CPU's and new line of mobile GPU's

They already announced the new 2013 X51 specs...

I would bet money that the Alienware Router will be announced

I wonder if they have anything else in store for us?

I concur

 

[MattyB]

wanna smack this chic though for some reason.

Not that I would ever do such a thing though

 

[DDuB420]

Poor chioce in host, but on the plus side its 60% metal, the keyboards dont flex and the look is different
Now wheres the alienware router?

[MattyB]

No router by the looks unless they do a soft landing during the next few days.

No flex is a big plus! That was always the cheapest feel to the machines.
The prices seem reasonable. They won't be nearly as good down here though. Expect the base 18 to be $3000 here.

Wondering when they go online for sale. I told myself I wouldn't get one but looks like I'll sell my M18x and go for it

 

[DDuB420]

Im disappointed that the router didnt get announced

 

[MattyB]

I'm sorry buddy. One day soon hopefully. I want to see some video of the keyboard!

Not available here until maybe the end of the month

That's what my Dell Dude says anyway.

Im disappointed that the router didnt get announced

me too, been waiting for the release date

 

[holeyguy66]

I care less about the router. im very disapointed in the fact they are on there 3rd revision for the laptopsd and already redesigned them. while they are working on the 5th revisison for the aurors and no change in site.atleast give us a bigger aurora since the area 51 got trashed. If they would have dropped a new bigger aurora i would have picked up the phone instantly

 

[MattyB]

I sense an Aurora revision when the next gen hex cores come out. Should be later this year I think. That's the dream anyway. They have to keep the whole line uniform. That's unless they are scrapping the mATX or ATX line completely since people are looking more towards desktop replacement laptops........

 

[MattyB]

I was also expecting news on possibly a new monitor but nothing so far

 

[holeyguy66]

if they get rid of the aurora next. im just gonna loose all hope for alienware at that point
