Dell showed us their complete line-up of laptops powered by next-gen Intel Sandy Bridge chipsets last week-end and of the lot, I specifically liked the design of the Alienware M17x and the Dell Vostro V130. The Alienware brand was bought by Dell many years ago and the M17x represents the ultimate portable laptop in gaming (apparently there's a bigger M18x). Unfortunately, Dell Philippines does not yet carry the Alienware brand in the country so fastest way to get it is via Dell Direct or but it in the US or SG. It's a shame Dell still does not have Dell Direct (their online store) up for the Philippines until now. The Vostro V130 is a business laptop, so you don't see Dell Philippines selling them to regular folks but I really liked the thin form factor. It's also what is left of the premium Dell Adamo line (the closest I mean). Dell's UMPC flagship unit is now called Inspiron 910 (formerly dubbed the Dell E and E Slim series) and is reported to be launching on the 22nd. Dell seems to be the only western brand that is already on board the nettop crowd at the moment -- the Optiplex 160 being the flagship nettop PC on its line.
