Seriously? The majority of stories submitted to Slashdot are from people that are associated with the publications they're sourcing, and I think Slashdot's management is astute enough to know. Finally, virtually all of the sites you named also rely on the same "privacy-invasive" ad services you mentioned.
Thanks for the pointless observation.
Dear Anonymous Coward, it matters not what or whom I work for. See, that's the beauty of transparency and credibility. I make no bones about it and the content I'd submit is always relevant. Do you work for Audiostream.com? Do you?
I care because you clearly have an axe grind posting off-topic binspam like that.
What the heck is this binspam comment? Who you happen to be behind that site you've linked in here by chance? Let's see, HotHardware rips on your support of of $5 - $7K Ethernet cables that supposedly make a difference in audio fidelity, so you go trolling totally unrelated news stories linking to some rebuttal story on your site? Who's the "bad source?" Stay classy behind that Anonymous Coward login, chief.
So a legitimate launch announcement of a new product in the tech space with a new processing engine on board is an advertisement? Then by rights virtually every news post of a new product across the web is an ad. Come on, that gets old. This post simply reports the news and the company's claims, it doesn't pass opinion or judgment on it, just reports the news.
Broadwell-U is a solid upgrade in graphics versus previous gen, and the integrated HD5500 GPU actually competes with low-end discrete AMD and NVIDIA mobile chips.

Here's the use case problem I think it can solve better, or at least somewhat. When you're actually in an app, you can pull up shortcuts to other apps as well as use edge panel apps simultaneously, without having to go back to the home screen. Other phones offer split screen or windowed views but this is a different and in some cases better (in some not) way of multitasking.
The summary is completely correct. It has 3GB of RAM (as in system/processor memory), which is actually as big as it gets these days for premium smartphones. 32GB of Flash storage is what you're thinking of, which is not RAM, obviously. And yes, the device has a 32GB Flash setup. So, you're wrong and that's what else is new I guess.
The note was versus "standard 28-inch panels"... not 4K. Yes, this is a solid price for a 4K 60Hz panel, with or without G-Sync. However, you can get standard 28-inch panels for a lot less and even Samsung, Dell and Asus non-G-Sync 4K panels for as little as $429 to about $600 now.
No one made this article or anything in it "appear to be a review." It's an announcement and news release, that's it. There is no mention of testing, or passing judgement other than maybe an opinion on the design aesthetic, which is completely subjective anyway.
At this point the dialog has gone off topic and off the rails, rather than discussing the post at hand. So I'm done with it. Carry on. Thanks
before visiting his site will make that a little more difficult.
I do not know if he is a Slashdot or a Dice Holdings, Inc., employee, but it would be nice if there was some sort of transparency statement, if that's the case.

Seriously? Why do people that read a legitimate news story always try to assume something is advertising. This was a press coordinated announcement by Dell-Alienware. It's a VERY cool case and system design I think, so I submitted our story on it. Yes, I run HotHardware.com and no it's not even close to an advertisement. It's just our usual news coverage on a variety of topics around the computing space. Alienware had a press release on this new system design and we covered it, along with many other Tech news outlets I'm sure.
And ad blocking. Don't even get me started. So many ad blockers are so proud of what they do, like it's some badge of honor to block. If everyone blocked ads, many quality web sites would likely cease to exist, including Slashdot. Just because you can block, doesn't mean you should. The internet is no different than any other media, where ads pay the bills to keep the lights on and people employed to serve up news, reviews and other content you enjoy every day, essentially for free.
And good sites (like Slashdot and HotHardware) know how to separate church and state, where advertising does not affect editorial opinion.
Hey, Anonodouche, why don't you post under your profile?
For the record, this has zero to do with the liberal or conservative agenda.
And yeah, I'm f'ing Republicanassholish.
The product was released at the end of NOVEMBER and is just now getting out to retail. No need to shout that. And just because an article here speaks to a product's salient features (both good and not so good - lest you forget the lower res display was mentioned too) doesn't make it an advertisement.
Yes, and that slashvertisement BS is getting mighty old. It's a legitimate product review that discusses the pluses and minuses of the product. Take time to actually read the content submitted instead of being so judgmental maybe?
Also, I noted the Dell machine as "an example" of more powerful configs that are coming to AIOs now. Apple's line of iMac have definitely been better in terms of higher-end components over the years. I could have also cited HP's new Z1 - http://hothardware.com/Reviews/HP-Z1-27inch-AIO-Workstation-Review/ - which has an Intel Xeon processor and NVIDIA Quadro pro graphics engine under the hood but again these are new machines and the point was, as tech has marched on, the all-in-one has gotten much more capable from a performance standpoint.
Ummm... FUD? You're using that term incorrectly. So where's the fail? If I was trying to create fear uncertainty and doubt it must have been with you.
And we've seen AIOs from many manufacturers for years, which couldn't get out of their own way, in terms of what power users need performance-wise. iMac are a minor exception. They've had somewhat better specs but not SSD caches and 2GB GGDR5 enabled, seriously strong graphics like the new GeForce GT 750M. In fact, as I look at Apple's iMac load-out page now, I see last gen graphics mostly with 512MB configs.
Really? I mean, REALLY? We're going to now compare actual DLSR specs, features and the damn manual to this SMARTPHONE? The comment was "virtually" as in not ALL controls but virtually, as in similar to or more so than any other smartphone camera on the market. I think it's understood, isn't it? It's a damn phone camera.

I totally disagree. This is a new product with a total new Android platform architecture on board but whatever floats your boat.

Yep, indeed they are. And fortunately capability and drivers are getting slightly better with each revision as well.
That was refreshing. Thanks

Sure, OK, 5-10 for a domain and hosting is chump change and sites like this are all run by volunteers. You go with that. Whatever works for ya.
Thank you, well said.
I'm guessing that blocking
