    News Alienware Clarifies Upgrade Limits for Area-51m R2, AMD GPU Options Coming

    I ordered the A11 with the I9-10900KF the day after it was released. That was may ~16 with a arrival date of June 24th. 6 full weeks with warnings that it would take that long due to Cov19.

    The 2TB Xbox One S Arrives August 2 With A $399 Price Tag

    "(HDR), a feature that expands the contrasts between darks and lights." Thats underselling it. I have a 4K TV with HRD and the Samsung 4K Bluray player.

    Microsoft Has Increased Xbox One's GPU Frequency

    I plan on buying an Xbox (because it now has Bluray) and a PS4. I currently have 3 PS3's of different generations and I'm worried that both these new units will be like my first PS3 (90nm process) in that the fan always kicks up to high and it sounds like a vacuum cleaner (which is why I bought...
