    Acer Iconia Tab A500 - why not?

    GPS is hit and miss for me, but I suggest that some folks assume GPS is working great indoors, but wifi triangulation is what is really showing their "location". Please try Moplayer, since it works well and can be customized for what codecs get hardware acceleration. Also, the stock app...

    Acer Iconia Tab A500 - why not?

    Asus announced last month that the Transformer will be constrained to 10,000 units a month (global) until late June. Analysts suggest it is due to IPS panel supplies, since the other components are in supply at vendors. There is nowhere near 100,000 units sold, since Asus can not make them and...

    Acer Iconia Tab A500 - why not?

    I have an A500 and am on my second one. I returned the first one due to wifi being weak in low signal bar areas. It would constantly lose and then regain connection in about 5 minute intervals, but the signal was very stable in "medium" or better signal areas. I also have a gTablet and the wifi...

    Alienware m11x

    Yes, you are. The thing is you may be kicking yourself as games are released, since almost all new games now leverage the GPU heavily. Heavy gamers should avoid the 30JT, but casual gamers will not notice.

    Alienware m11x

    For general purpose, yes, but in spite of the i7, it will still be slower for games than the M11x. If the UL30JT had at least a 330m in it, it would then be faster than the M11x for most games. The 310m in the JT is just a refresh of the slow 210m. Please keep in mind that the 210/310m is a...

    Alienware m11x

    9400m drains more battery and is a lot slower than the 335m. What are you all smoking? ;) 9400m is as a BIG bottleneck with a SU7300, yet alone anything faster. For gaming, there is no point in the 9400m compared to the 335m- unless games are not a main factor.

    Alienware m11x

    My perspective is a very portable system, so 11.6" is fine. If 15.4" seems too small, 11.6" will be super small.

    Alienware m11x

    You should be very happy. Perfect device to fill the void between a netbook and larger gaming rig :)

    Alienware m11x

    I think they are too hard on the display and miss the point about the device. It is intended "not" as a desktop replacement. 1. It looks FAR better than the UL30 display and the CW27FX that I had. 2. Plays all of my very demanding games and emulators very well 3. High def video plays...

    Alienware m11x

    I have tried the UL and have the M11x. 1. Display is better than the UL 2. 3D games play MUCH better than the UL 3. Battery should last at least one hour longer than the UL (smaller display and larger relative battery compared to the 30vt) in non gpu mode. 4. Build quality seems better...

    Alienware m11x

    Yes, Red Faction 3. Have not tried RF2 yet. Frankly, my favorite game is UT 2004, so that is what I have been playing on it. Good times:)

    Alienware m11x

    I am not sure what has happened, but I am not having the MAME problem now. Very weird: 1. MAME plays just as fast or faster now- do not know why 2. NullDC plays SMOKING fast! Dead or Alive 2 and Soul Calibur seem like they designed for the M11x. I played in higher res window mode too...

    Alienware m11x

    I would have kept the CW, again - if I did not have a desktop gaming rig. The m11x is for super portability and nice to have option to turn the gpu off (CW does not). I am going to try another compile of MAME, since this is not making sense. Still, hidef video and Redfaction 2 plays smooth...

    Alienware m11x

    MAME uses the cpu, so you will be good (I use MAME for tests, since the CPU generates the 3D- not the gpu). The UL50 is same chipset and played MAME better than the M11x is. I do not understand, since at a minimum, the m11x should play just as smooth. Should be better, considering the clock...

    Alienware m11x

    UPDATE: Not having this problem now, but not sure why- Please see update in post 230. MAME 3D games tested poorly on M11x- I am stunned. Something is not adding up here. The M11x even when overclocked performs SLOWER than the UL50 clocked at 1.3ghz. Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur, NFL...
