Measuring Up
April, 2008
Since Alienwarc is famous for high-performance gaming-oriented computers, it's fitting the company would offer the latest computing innovation—solid-state hard drives—on its m9750 (from $2,200. alienware.com). Instead of a spinning disk, you get a giant flash-memory drive with no moving parts. Data is far less susceptible to damage and can be accessed faster, which speeds up the entire system. Alas, it won't save you when you're beset by foulmouthed 12-year-olds in Team Fortress 2. ^^
