Dell’s Yoga competitor, the flexible XPS 11, has made its way into availability in the US and other select countries, with the refreshed XPS 13 also tagging along. As we mentioned in our hands-on, the 11.6-inch ultrabook’s keyboard folds all the way back to transform into a tablet with an impressive 2,560 x 1,440 IPS display. The updated XPS 13 laptop, on the other hand, has gained a touchscreen option, as well as new Haswell processors like those in the XPS 11. Both devices are now up for sale on Dell’s own site for at least $1,000, depending on specs. As always, the bigger the SSD storage space and the RAM, the more expensive it is. Almost all the laptops will ship with Windows 8.1 preinstalled, except the non-touch XPS 13 that’s keeping things dated with Windows 7 Home Premium. If you like your PC hardware a little cheaper (or costlier), the company’s also releasing the OptiPlex 3020 desktop ($499) and the Precision M3800 business laptop ($1,799). For a reminder of the XPS 11’s acrobatic ways, we’ve added our hands-on video right after the break.

Dell introduced the Latitude 6430u business ultrabook back in the early summer of 2012, and soon after complaints regarding a peculiar odor began surfacing on the company’s product forums. According to many owners, the laptop is off-gassing an odor that smells, for lack of more sophisticated phrase, “like cat pee.” Though the company responded with […]

We recently reviewed the Dell XPS 12, which is a hybrid ultrabook that allows you to use the machine in a number of ways thanks to its flippable display. It seems one of Dell’s previously released laptops, the Latitude E6430u to be exact, has been gaining some attention for one of its unique features: the smell of cat urine. (more…)

Ah, the eternal debate of which particular gaming platform is better – the PC or the console? There are always pros and cons to each situation, and we know for sure that die hard fans on each side are not willing to give up an inch even until today, although we have also seen a far more inclusive gaming community over the years, where folks own multiple consoles as well as get some gaming time on their desktops, too. Alienware intends to sway those who might want to give the PC gaming scene a try, by offering a $200 cash back with every console trade and gaming PC purchase.

This offer is good only for current-generation video game consoles, so you can forget about purchasing a cheap NES off eBay and use it to your advantage. Basically, as long as you pick up an Alienware gaming system, you are able to log into the trade-in portal in order to enter data from the purchase receipt and print a pre-paid shipping label for an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 console. Once the system has been accepted, followed by some functionality testing to make sure the console is in fine working order, you will receive the $200 via bank transfer within 40 days. Starting price for Alienware systems before the trade-in offering start from $699. Have you ever wondered what would happen to all of those consoles that are traded in?

Sometime slightly past the middle of this year saw us talk about the Dell M3800, and where there was a video featured which depicted the kind of touchscreen capability this mobile workstation comes with. Well, we are glad to say that Dell has finally ensured that the masses who want to pick up this particular mobile workstation will be able to do so when November 14th rolls around.

Just to refresh our memories, what kind of hardware can be found underneath the hood of the Dell M3800? For starters, it sports an Intel Haswell Core i7 processor that will be accompanied by a 2GB NVIDIA Quadro graphics card which offers support for multiple external displays as well as 4K resolution. There will also be a couple of battery options on offer, where one of them is a 91Wh cell that is touted to deliver up to 10 hours on standard use.

On the outside, the Dell M3800 is quite a looker, where its 18mm housing will merge a carbon-fiber base with an aluminum frame and aluminum cover for the 15.6-inch touchscreen display. The display itself is no sissy, as it will come protected by Gorilla Glass and features options for 1920×1080 or 3200×1800 resolutions. Depending on which particular model you decide to settle for, the Dell M3800 will have a starting price of $1,800.
