This week, Dell and subsidiary gaming computer company Alienware began shipping 1-TB hard drives in select desktop PCs. The addition of terabyte technology is now available for the XPS, Aurora, and Area-51 desktops. A TB of storage on the Area-51 is available for $320 added on to the normal price.

“Digital content use is exploding in the consumer market – with this 1TB hard drive, a lifetime of memories, music and other information can be made, stored and shared with others,” said Neil Hand, vice president, worldwide consumer marketing consumer product group, in a statement. “This type of capability used to be available only to the largest corporations. With the spectacular advancement in hard drives and the engineering in our systems, we’re now able to bring it to consumers.”

With a 1TB hard drive, you could even set up a makeshift time capsule of everything occurring in your life, including all of your possessions and where they are located. Which means no more last keys. — Andrew Dobrow

Superman Returns Alienware Notebook: Just don’t put it near Kryptonite

Alienware might be expensive, but they have some seriously kickass systems. The hardware they shove into their Area-51 laptops makes our computers cower in shame. And now this. A notebook faster then a speeding bullet. It’s a bird. No, a plane. It’s the Alienware Superman Returns Notebook.

Talking about things that are super. The hardware specs on this thing, like the majority of Alienware computers, is SUPER crazy, and SUPER powerful. Alienware also knows how to make a pretty case.

After playing around with a bunch of the options on the product page and taking Alienware’s recommendation of add-ons, the grand total for a Superman Returns notebook is $3274. WOW. By saying wow, we actually mean, Holy Shit!

But for the amount of power packed behind it, Alienware is always a reasonable price for what you actually get. For that price you get a Intel Core Duo Processor among other top of the line specs and periphs. — Andrew Dobrow
