Alienware 13 R3

[Pendragon]

Curious if anyone has any sources. The one that Eason linked is taken off. This would be one of the only eGPU machines I would consider.

I think that I saw it on their website for a brief moment, did not really think about it at the time, but I think that it had a dual core ULV CPU. It was very late and maybe a week or two ago. I am 70% sure that it was the r3

Hmm i'm pretty sure it's a quad core this gen. Maybe AW fucked everyone again. I'm really hoping for a 6820HQ or a 6820HK, gonna grab one for my bro and use him as an experiment.

hobby. LOL. all of them do have a purpose. I like laptops. LOL. I like swapping them out. New stuff is interesting. Some people like cars and stuff, I like laptops. Or interesting cool ones with niche features. Like a P870DM3 doesn't appeal to me personally just because I would never find a use case for it.

you are worse than me with audio

what do you do with your old laptops? I also wish that I could afford to swap laptop every year.

I sell them, give them back to the firm, or give them to close ones who look like they need an upgrade.

hhmm, so if I started to call you brother, am I a close one then? TBH I do not trust myself with anything else then business laptops, after close to three years with a thinkpad, I do things that no other laptop can withstand for longer periods.

I hope that they put a real quad core in their AW13, but not 100% sure, I will ask my friend that works for dell if he can give me any info.

i7 - H-series confirmed!

 

Interestingly the OLED is touch AND thinner than the non-touch.

this AW13 looks promising.. if it can perform on par with the 15" version, maybe this would be a better choice for me,

if i can configure this to have i7 6700HQ, 1060, 8gb ram, ssd+hdd and 1080p screen then a decent battery life.

okay he didn't say much, but he said that there will be a HQ or something like that and he said that they don't want to make a MSI, he referring to the heat pipe
