New Alienware Media Center

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the send-a-free-alienware-laptop-to-me dept.

Cyno01 writes "Alienware recently introduced a new product that seems to fill the gap between PVRs and PCs. The Navigator Media Center. It runs a new version of XP (Media Center Edition) and displays pictures, movies and plays DVDs. If I had the cash for it i would definitly ditch my 160Gb HD and Radeon AIW card."

    (my emphasis) Navigator lets you watch DVDs from anywhere in the room, whether you're at your desk or on your living room couch.

    What? I can stand over here and watch it..? What about over here? I can't possibly watch it from over HERE can I?!
