    At the recent E3 2013, wave after wave of announcements were made, but only two things stood out against the rest; the PS4 and the Xbox One. As we step into the next generation of gaming and tech, the war of the console has started again. Both struggling to win the hearts of the consumer and the game developers, Sony and Microsoft have been hard at work figuring out their strategies Xbox One was leading at the start of the game but as Sony takes the stage, they butchered Microsoft by addressing some of the issues and concerns consumers had for their next gen console that Microsoft left astray. PS4 doesnt have to be always online and checked in every 24 hours and their used game policy and pricing practically put the nail for Xbox One self-made coffin. Lets compared the two;

    In this edition of BandWidth magazine well be taking a look at whats happened at E3, there was the unveiling of Sony Playstation4 and microsofts xbox one. But well just save that for another day, because were going to look at the latest Alienware gaming laptops and just so you know they really know what theyre doing.I have the 2012 series of Alienware gaming laptop, the m14x to be exact and let me tell you the new lineups are looks way better than the old series. The new series of Alienware been completely redesigned and built around the 14-inch, 17.3-inch, and 18.4-inch screens models.

    All these new systems comes with the latest fourth-generation (Haswell) Intel Core processors, and Nvida GeForce GT and GTX 700 Series graphics. The new systems are less bulky than Alienware's previous gaming rigs. Surrounded with LED light bars, the new systems really glow in the dark somewhat you would see in the Tron movies.

    The Alienware 14 is the most portable model in the group. It has a 14-inch display with a 1,366 by 768 resolution standard and comes with the option to upgrade to a 14-inch 1,920 by 1,080-resolution display. The Alienware 14 starts at just over 2.7KG, and theyre fitted with a selection of Intel Core i7 processors, up to an Intel Core i7-4900MQ with Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M graphics and the basic model comes with an Intel Core i7-4700MQ processor and the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M. The system can handle up to 16GB of RAM upgrades and can be equipped with a selection of hard drives, SSDs, or a combinations of both.

    Meanwhile the Alienware 17 is the mid-tier model with plenty of options. The systems 17.3-inch screen comes with 1,600 by 900 resolution standard, but can be upgraded to a 1,920-by-1,080 resolution screen, or with a brighter display with 3D bundle. It scales at just over 4KG, and can be equipped with a selection of processors from the Intel Core i7-4700MQ base model to a Core i7-4930MX processor. For the Alienware 17, the graphics starts at the Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M can go up to the Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M . Like the Alienware 14, the Alienware 17 can be equipped with a selection of HDD and SSD combinations.

    And last, but definitely not least, the epic Alienware 18 comes in with 1 screen choice which is 18.4 inches with 1,920 by 1,080 screen resolution. The Alienware 18 is a 5.4KG monster, with Intel Core i7 choice just like the Alienware 17. You can also get the same models of Nvidia GeForce GTX graphics, but this time theyre doubled as each system comes in a SLI configuration. Storage choices include HDD, SSD, and HDD+SSD. The Alienware 18 and 17 max out at 32GB of system memory, more than enough for most high-end users.

  • Engine 5.9L V-12, 565 hp, 457 lb-ft Transmission: 6 Speed AutomaticTerminal velocity 183 mph/ 294.51km/h

    When talking about the Aston Martin, the first thing that pops into mind would be the great Aston Martin DBS; a high performance GT sports car version of the DB9 from the UK manufacturer. Now taking over the DBS is Astons new AM310 Vanquish.

    The new Vanquish features an all new interior based on the exclusive Aston Martin One 77 supercar and makes more extensive use of carbon fiber and when I say extensive I mean its everywhere; including in the hood, front fenders, trunk lid, trunk enclosure, door surrounds, and roof to shed unnecessary load and weighs just around 1638KG with a balanced distribution in the front and rear.

    Aston Martin is notorious for its perfection down to the last detail; even the most basic interior is trimmed in hand stitched leather and the same can be said of the Vanquish. The center stacks feature an improved infotainment system over the one found in the DBS. The new Vanquish also has a roomier two-place cabin (two-plus-two seating is optional), stowage and a greatly enlarged trunk.

    Moving on to the performance side, this Vanquish gets an updated 5.9-liter V-12 engine that comes with variable valve timing; the output rises to 565 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque, which is directly sent to a six-speed automatic transaxle, The Vanquish uses a fully catalyzed stainless steel exhaust system with active bypass valves. Unlike the DBS, it is only available as an automatic. It will be the first Aston Martin to be available with launch control which helps drivers race from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds.

    Thats a lot of power and it explains a lot why the Vanquish is equipped with ventilated carbon ceramic discs, with six-piston calipers in the front and four-piston calipers in the rear. The suspension is a lightweight aluminum and has a three stage adjustable adaptive damping system including normal, sport and track modes.
