We Play On

WE PLAY ON ALIENWARE!
When we are out on the road and have a spare five minutes to kill, we jump on our Alienware M17X R3 and mash that keyboard! Our M17X R3 is a beast! Kitted out with the brand new Intel Sandy-bridge i7-2120QM, 1.5 TB RAID 0, 8GB of RAM and the uber cool AMD Radeon HD 6970M graphics card! All this pumps through the awesome 17.3-inch FULL HD LCD screen, giving a gaming experience that is hard to match on any other lap top! You too can own your own Alienware Laptop, just click through to www.alienware.com.au. You don’t have to get PCPowerPlay Magazine on your personalised name plate like us, but hey, whatever takes your fancy!

WE PLAY ON SAMSUNG!
Games only look as good as the monitor you play them on. That’s why we use Samsung monitors exclusively here at PCPP. We review games on the professional-spec 275T, and our high-end benchmarking machine boasts the world-beating 305T. Check out Samsung’s full range of consumer displays at www.samsung.com.au
