Wolfking Timber Wolf Keyboard Review
2007-12-12 19:49:00
It may not immediately be to everybody's tastes but the thing actually looks quite good. The main body is made up of chic silver plastic, framed by slightly matted black. The media keys along the top of the board are all reflective silver and the black and grey regular keys match the colour of the body perfectly. The keyboard is without any backlighting. Backlighting is a love-it-or-hate-it feature which, done well, can make midnight gaming a lot easier and more stylish but, done poorly, is more headache-making than any other single design slip-up.A circle of all the important FPS keys called the WASD gaming pad surrounds your left hand in a unique configuration, which is based upon the ancient fighting discipline concept of a circle of death. Martial arts fans amongst you may know that this is where you centre an energy which can then be used to gain victory during conflict. By arranging all the keys that you might use within the battle arena of a first person shooter game to enci...

PC Today Reviews Alienware Area Area-51 m9750
2007-11-13 03:16:00
Our test unit included the 17-inch 1,920 x 1,200 "ClearView Technology" LCD, and we were more than a little impressed with the image quality. The m9750's sharpness and color is excellent, and watching DVDs on the system is entertaining indeed. The superb video quality is due in part to the system's Nvidia GeForce Go 7950 GTX graphics card. Our test system included one card, but you have the option to have your system set up with two cards in SLI mode, which is the ultimate in PC graphics indulgence, and a configuration we recommend if you have the means.Of course, video is only half the setup of any good multimedia system. The m9750 isn't lacking for audio quality, either. The high-def audio incorporated into this system sounds really good when using a decent pair of headphones, and the notebook has jacks to set up front and rear speakers, as well as a center channel ? a feature not common in typical notebooks.Alienware 's been around a long time, and this is a company that's bu...
