Greetings,
While I have seen brief reletive metions of this subject through prior anandtech articles I have yet to see this comparison. I would also include that I am new to the boards and as such apologize if this is the incorrect section for this post.
That said...it is my observation that there are 3 main manufacturers, all-be-it directly or indirectly, of high-performance/high-flash notebooks: Alienware, Voodoo, and Hypersonic.
To date I am having trouble finding a source that compares these three manufactuers as of 2004. I see them as offering essentially the same type of products targeted towards the same type of audience. Dell is not in this category (not sure why anandtech compared the Voodoo system to a dell in the first place)...Sager and Eurocom are close but do not "dress up" their systems (the same with the other main clevo odm manufacturers as far as I know).
The last article by anandtech states Voodoo as the only mobile amd provider. Hypersonic now produces one as well and their paint is pretty slick as well. Alienware is of course also in the mix but not with amd yet.
My questions:
1.) Is the amd "64 bit computing" really that much faster than all the pentium stuff out there, and for that matter will someone explain or direct me to a good location to learn what "64-bit computing" is compared to pentium m or centrino technology...what does it mean in lamens terms?
2.) With respect to these three companies: Vooodoo, Hypersonic, and Alienware...are there any major gaming performance showdowns?
3.) Which company offers the best gaming machine for the best value...curious to hear (as unbiased as possible) opinions from owners, manufactuers, anandtech etc...
4.) Are there plans to compare the Voodoo machines to these other companies by anandtech or other 3rd party organizations?
5.) Suggestions of best-value-best-performance notebooks?
I appreciate your responses regarding this subject...please no derogitory criticisms or questions as to why I am asking these questions. Just answer them if ya can if not don't bother replying.
Thanks is advance,
