Aptly named, the Dell Alienware M15x is certainly a gaming monster with a 15-inch screen. Aside from its monster-like façade, the Dell Alienware has some monster specifications, especially with its Intel Core i5 processor. Now this is certainly worth the $1,199 price tag.
Especially designed for the gaming aficionado, the Dell Alienware M15x initially came out with the Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 driving its system. The Core 2 was already a powerful processor and it left behind other laptops in its class. To be competitive with other gaming laptops, the Dell Alienware M15x has been outfitted with the Intel Core “I” technology.
In terms of processors, one can choose between the Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i7 processors, with the Intel Core i5 being the less powerful of the two. Despite this fact, the Core i5 processor still packs one mean punch. If the Intel Core i7 processor is the current ruler of processors, then the Intel Core i5 is definitely its next in command. With the Core i7 processors gaining a lot of attention, it would also be fitting for the Intel Core i5 to receive an accolade of its own.

The Dell Latitude XT is the laptop maker’s first entry into the Tablet PC market. The Dell Latitude XT is meant for those who are looking for the technology and convenience of having both a mobile PC and a tablet.
A tablet is a terrific tool in making the inventory and we turn to a laptop when we need to accomplish computing tasks in a mobile package. The Dell Latitude XT gives both capabilities in one machine.
The Dell Latitude XT has the advantage of having both device’s technologies. One primary example is the pen and touch technology. When in laptop mode, the Dell Latitude XT can be accessed without requiring the use of a mouse or the touchpad. This can be done with just a finger or two to click, double-click or zoom an image with the use of the N-Trig touchscreen technology. The 12.1-inch screen can therefore respond to either a pen or a finger. Another nice feature about the Latitude XT is that the consumer can use the pen without being overly concerned about the palms interfering.
The Dell Latitude XT has a WXGA 1280 x 800 resolution screen that is quite high for a laptop this size. Being equipped with the LED backlight means that the battery life is longer.
