Alienware Chooses Airgo chipsets for new laptops

Julios Lanza writes "Alienware has chosen chipsets made by Airgo Networks to power two game-focused laptops. Alienware's 17-inch Aurora m9700 and 19-inch Aurora mALX notebooks are equipped with the Airgo's Gen3 True MIMO (multiple input, multiple output). Airgo's chips are designed to connect a computer with Wi-Fi systems at speeds fast enough to make high-performance gaming possible, Airgo executives said."

    1. Get an LCD monitor. They weigh much less and are easier to lug around.

    2. Grow some muscles. Carrying a 50lbs computer from a taxi or car to the table is not exactly labour intensive.

    3. LAN parties are dorky anyways. Usually sausagefests and in desperate need of face-to-face interaction. :-)

    When I go out to a friends place I'd rather play a console where instead of being buried behind a monitor you're able to see their face and the reaction as you head shot them in Halo 2 :-)
