Dell playing with fire?

Posted on January 7, 2006 in Technology

Dell are playing with fire… and hopefully they won’t get burned. Their research reckons that 40% of PC users are in it for gaming… interesting figure. I got a price from Dell just over 12 months ago for a gaming machine at €1800 ex VAT and went off and built myself one for about 30% of the total cost, but thats getting away from it.

They’ve launched their new gaming monster, the XPS 600 Renegade (photo courtesy of Newsgab). It looks savage. It boasts 4… yes, 4 GPUs (graphics processing units) providing three times the resolution of high-def XBOX games.

It looks snazzy, prob gonna cost an arm and a leg if it comes in a brochure to the office although, and again according to Dell, their current XPS600 (not Renegade) is one of the leading machines for PC gamers. It’s nice and colourful tho…. ;)
