Bolder and better: Alienware launches new gaming laptops

Alienware has cooked up what they say are their most powerful gaming laptops to date and they showed these badass machines off at E3 2013 in Los Angeles. The Alienware 14, Alienware 17, and Alienware 18 all feature new bolder, more durable designs with anodized aluminum shell and magnesium alloy bodies as well as keyboards protected by reinforced plates.

The Alienware 14 is the portable version ready to take on both gaming and productivity needs. The Alienware 17, on the other hand, can be considered a good desktop gaming rig replacement as it can handle the more graphics-intensive games and even comes with an optional 3D panel. The Alienware 18 then has to be the ultimate gaming behemoth with its unmatched performance and construction that also has a Full HD display with PLS wide viewing-angle technology. Seems like they got an answer to whatever gaming needs you may have.

First look at the Sony PlayStation 4

Sony has kept the PlayStation 4’s form factor under wraps since they first introduced it in February. Now, we finally get to see how it looks like. The very angular PS4 is said to be coming this “holiday 2013” but no official word yet when it is coming. It is, however, $100 cheaper than the Microsoft Xbox One at $399 and maintains that single player disc-based games are still freely sellable and tradeable even without connection to the internet.

The $499 Microsoft Xbox One set to land in November

Microsoft is making sure its $499 next-gen console comes out in time for Christmas shopping. The Xbox One, coming out in November, was first unveiled last month but more information were given at their E3 press conference held earlier today. Some of the new details include the much welcome transition from Microsoft points to real currency when it comes to in-console purchases and Xbox Live Gold integration with game broadcasting service Twitch.

As exciting as a new console is, we have to remind you that the Xbox One isn’t backwards compatible with your old games. But this is an exciting time to watch for the new Xbox One-exclusive titles. Some of them were introduced at E3, such as Crimson Dragon, Forza Motorsport 5, and Ryse: Son of Rome. They whetted appetites further with a sneak peek of the new Halo coming in 2014.
