Alienware’s M17x didn’t need much help on the outside to be impressive when it launched in June. After all, any notebook with three NVIDIA GPUs is fine by us, design be darned. That said, the machine is still rather handsome, if not a touch bulky, and it just got even hotter when the addition of a new Nebula Red color scheme. Starting today, the All Powerful M17x can be ordered with the “Special Edition” hue, which is actually a tinted coat of anodized aluminum. The cost for the upgrade? $99. Yeah, that’s pretty

Once touted as the manufacturer who put Linux-powered PCs on the shelves at Wal-Mart, troubled Everex has closed its US operations and headed for home. While it operated in the US, Everex was noted both for its ultra-low-cost systems and the fact that its computers used Linux rather than Windows. Everex also teamed up with web OS/applications provider Zonbu and offered Zonbu-based solutions in both a desktop and a laptop form factor. Everex was apparently unable to leverage the cautious praise it earned for

Love ’em or hate ’em, Bose has been making music for years now, and it doesn’t sound like the company is planning on slowing down anytime soon. While it has seemingly been quiet on the consumer electronics front of late (after it got done with all of its Apple-related wares), the outfit is introducing an all new system today that should catch the attention of those who store all of their music on their PC, but wish to listen to it elsewhere. The simple-yet-effective SoundLink is a two-piece system that is comprised

We can remember a time when VIA was rarely mentioned when talking CPUs, but now the company has made a ferocious comeback that has its processors slipping into netbooks, small form factor PCs and now, Fujitsu thin clients.Starting today, Fujitsu will utilize VIA’s Eden ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) processor for its next generation FUTRO thin client series. Said chip will provide 500MHz of power with a low TDP of just one watt. The first FUTRO to featur ethe chip will be the S100, a completely fanless and silent thin

If you’ve found yourself computing more and more outside, you’ve probably also found yourself struggling to really see what’s going on. Most notebook displays, particularly those of the glossy variety, are nearly impossible to see when in direct sunlight, and that’s exactly why Duros is adding a daylight-readable panel to its refreshed 8404 rugged tablet. The device, which is also being revamped with an Intel Atom processor, now boasts an 8.4″ sunlight-viewable SVGA touchscreen, a solid-aluminum chassis and

Earlier this week, we were blown away by how stylish eMachine’s newest all-in-one PC was. Clearly, the engineers at Dell aren’t taking the competition lightly, as the company’s newest Vostro is just as much a looker. The new all-in-one desktop is actually aimed at small business owners, but we could totally see this fitting into pretty much any home office. Dell claims that this machine can morph from “box to business in less than four minutes,” and with the optional VESA mount, you can just clamp this onto

The company, famous for churning out high-end computer peripherals, has just announced its Razer BlizzCon Contest, which allows hardcore fanatics to enter to win an all-expense-paid trip for two to the show.

For the third time this year, Twitter was the victim of a security breach that stemmed from a simple attack. In the most recent case, a hacker simply guessed an employee’s personal email account password and then worked from there to steal confidential company documents. This most recent attack brings to light some of the problems associated with storing data online instead of on computers that are within your control. By stealing the password for someone’s Gmail account, for example, a hacker not only gains
