Ripped, robbed and defrauded by: Anonymous on 2/5/2010
Misha Troshin is an accomplished internet scammer who has spent the last 2 years manipulating the American legal system to steal over $4200.00 from me.
I sued him and his cronies at AVA Direct in District Court, won, and received squat from these criminals as they continue to drag this out now for 2 years now, manipulating the American legal system, hoping to deplete all my money and make me go away.
They are total slime.
Misha spends the entire work day trolling the internet looking for negative reviews to defuse and counteract using a plethora of fake usernames and posts to keep the suckers coming in to his band of Russian criminals.
This clown has, if you can believe this, started a new scam company to take over once his band of criminals dumps AVA Direct after it ceases to be profitable.....
BEWARE !!!! MGEPConline.com

Price builds by: Anonymous on 10/19/2009
Well I did a price comparison on the same build and Alienware was cheaper, so what are they comparing?

Professional users want the higher resolution as possible, to a level where you can't see the grid.

During all of my education, higher resolution and smaller dot pitch were always a paramount. Plus, good comparison is Dell 2408 vs. 2708 - you can see the grid on a 27" one, thanks to its resolution.

Yet, these two laptops feature a FullHD resolution on a smaller screen, and the most brilliant screen I ever saw was the one on Fujitsu Siemens Celsius workstation: 15.4" 1920x1200 screen.

When it comes to smaller icons and fonts... older operating systems do not support resolution scaling, but Windows Vista/7, Mac OSX and most of Linux distros definitely do. I have the same icon and font size on my Mac Pro and on Windows 7 machines...

"Lesser pixel density isn't good for the eyes and causes more strain."

A fairly curious argument that I've never heard of before ever. Maybe because it isn't really true... :) Actually, higher pixel density (across the same screen estate) will cause fonts, icons, buttons, details and so on to become smaller. Thus INCREASING eye strain.
16:9 vs. 16:10 by: Theo Valich on 8/6/2009
In our video studio, we currently rely on combining the dual Dells 2408WFP and Panasonic 46" plasma screen (for coloring).
Back home, I combine also Dell's 2408WFP with my desktop and laptops [Toshiba Qosmio G20, 17" 5:4 screen and HP tx1000, 12.1" 16:10 screen]. Overall, I've evaluated 16:9 screens for desktops and my personal experience is that you will feel the loss of desktop real estate.
The problem is that most of content simply isn't geared towards going wide - while having a 16:9 or 16:10 is great in Photoshop [compared to 4:3/5:4], I am not sure that we should go below 16:9...

Truth to be told, when it comes to dilemma between 17" Alienware and 18.4" AVADirect, it is a case of value for money, and AVA certainly packs a solid punch. Personally, I am not sure what notebook I would pick - I like Alienware because of the screen resolution, but on the other hand, $600 for a second graphics card? That is almost 100% price markup from the wholesale price, and having lived in a country where a 100% markup on everything is a norm, can't say I could ever give my money to support such an activity.

At the end of the day, it's not the matter of support. Vote with your wallets.

I hate 16:9 screens! Yeah, they are nice in the world of cinema, but losing those 120 pixels just sucks. Went to best buy the other day and 16:10 panels are very rare. I would rather have 17" 16:10 than a 16:9 20". Lesser pixel density isn't good for the eyes and causes more strain.

im alienware all the way
hmm by: Anonymous on 8/4/2009
I've never heard of AVADirect till now and even though both notebooks look great simply based on the price & performance I would probably go with AVADirect. By googling AVA, this company looks like it has lots to offer.

Stay classy, AVA.
