IT 168 Evaluation In the minds of many hardcore gamers, aliens have an irreplaceable position. This brand, which has only been in Chinese mainland for five years, has been recognized and accepted by more and more people. In all kinds of entertainment reports and feedback from players, we often see some high-end, top-notch, feverish, coolest, fashionable, tough, innovative, cutting-edge, super and so on. Do these cover all the characteristics of alien brands and their products? In this article, we will learn about the characteristics of aliens and review the past lives of aliens with netizens.
As early as 2006, in order to enrich its product line in the field of high-end games, Dell acquired Alien as its wholly-owned subsidiary. In 2009, Dell decided to readjust its top game brand strategy and replace the original XPS series with aliens. As its flagship high-end gaming notebook computer, it takes its unique industrial design and powerful performance as its biggest selling point, completely changing the design ideas of previous gaming notebooks and maximizing the integration of game enthusiasts who advocate top performance experience.
Judging from its M-series notebooks for mobile applications, the design concept of aliens has completely broken through the previous design ideas of entertainment notebooks. Different from other brands of game notebooks, the alien M 17x is more stable and tough in shape design and unprecedented in hardware configuration. Therefore, in order to achieve better heat dissipation efficiency in the design of the mold, it is necessary to have enough strength to protect all the internal components. The use of large-area alloy materials also makes its wide fuselage incomparable to other notebook products in terms of three thermal properties.
Anodized aluminum oxide is widely used in the A side of products. In addition to the corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of carbon fiber, this material is superior to carbon fiber products in toughness and thermal conductivity, providing better protection for internal hardware. LED backlight devices, including the top of the screen, keyboard and power switch, are added in many places of the fuselage, which makes the effect more conspicuous when used at night, and the brightness of the backlight will constantly change with the frequency of breathing during use. In addition, the LED lights can be redefined by the function buttons of the command center with random software, and players can set them at will according to their own preferences, which greatly enhances the fashion sense of the products.
The screen surface design of alien notebook is similar to the treatment of sunglasses screen, which not only makes the appearance of science and technology more intense, but also can not be ignored. In particular, brightness and color reproduction have excellent performance, and the viewing angle is also more outstanding.
The bottom of the whole machine adopts integrated design to ensure the appearance and strength of the whole machine. Both sides of the bottom are still made of anodized aluminum, which is durable. Although the idea of integration is more pursued in mold design, this design has not brought difficulties in upgrading. The disassembly of the bottom of the fuselage is very simple. Ordinary consumers can remove the whole baffle to upgrade themselves as long as they remove two or three key screws.
In addition, the location of the personalized nameplate will remain in the center of the bottom of all alien notebooks. Players can engrave the user's name or mark on the nameplate etched by laser when ordering products, highlighting the advantages of personalized uniforms.
While seeing the uniqueness and personality of aliens, many netizens may be interested in the original intention of their product design. In fact, the birth of the alien brand itself is a legend. It is said that Nelson Gonzalez (CEO) and Alex Aguila (COO), persistent and fanatical gamers and ambitious entrepreneurs, were there 15 years ago, that is 1996? Create the most powerful computer in the world? Aliens were founded in Miami. They firmly believe that after careful design, configuration, modification and testing, they will be able to build a top-class, avant-garde and fashionable computer superior to their peers, which can meet the needs of users to experience the latest computer games and all commercial applications. In this year, the first customer of aliens appeared. In order to realize the dream of running Microsoft flight simulator (a flight simulation game) on the computer, a computer with super performance was born, which also marked the establishment of a new dynasty in the world IT history.

From beginning to end, the purpose of aliens is to provide the strongest computer performance, the most personalized design and the best service. Aliens have won numerous awards, and numerous notebooks are the first to release Intel Core 2 dual-core processors in the industry. Before 2007, the first notebook was provided with NVIDIA SLI graphics card and 17-inch LCD.
Headquartered in Miami, USA, Alien Company's product line includes high-end gaming desktops, gaming notebooks, workstations, media centers and professionally designed personal computers. Keep it all the time? Design your dream computer? The concept of designing products has won the recognition of the industry and many game lovers.
Their products are cool from beginning to end, regardless of cost, using top hardware that you can only see in the media or even manufacturers, plus excellent design and appearance.
People who are familiar with English can learn from it? Aliens? This word can explain its operating concept, and alien means something else. I believe many sci-fi movie fans have not missed Alien, a very famous movie. The inspiration of aliens is very similar to the style of this movie! The symbol of an alien is an alien's head. Not only that, almost all the designs of alien products continue the streamline and concept of ET aliens, plus deep apple green, to build a harmonious, fashionable and perfect style. In the past ten years, this style has continued. Although it was copied, it has never been surpassed!
Some older gamers know DOOM, which is a popular game all over the world. Earlier, even many IT media used it as the standard software for testing computer graphics cards. The appearance of Doom made Nelson and Alex see the vast market of computer games, so they began to develop breakthrough computer products, equipped with top sound cards and graphics cards. They believe that once the product comes out, it will set off an uproar in the field of game computers and be sought after by countless computer game enthusiasts.
Since then, Nelson and Alex led the team to innovate and make breakthroughs in product technology, performance and appearance, which was out of control, and praise and awards came one after another. So far, alien products have won many media awards covering technology, products and design all over the world. Among them, there is no lack of praise from The New York Times and other media.
After being fully affirmed by the industry, the development of aliens is even more unstoppable. Alex and Nelson judge the situation, constantly take out their profits in the game computer business, and increase their investment in aliens to ensure that their development speed can keep up with the speed of technological updates. Aliens have successively developed VooDoo2TM GPU graphics processing chips. This chip, which is specially designed for 3D images, has twice the image processing capacity of the previous products, making players flock to it. A brand-new system integrating two graphics cards allows players to experience two completely different game experiences at the same time, and there is no need to interrupt the system when switching between two-dimensional and three-dimensional games. As a supplement to hardware, alien technology software can better manage system resources and create unparalleled game experience for players.
In 2006, the alien was acquired by Dell, and the whole alien will become a subordinate department of Dell, continue to use its own brand and maintain the existing management structure.
Nelson Gonzalez, CEO of Alien, did not hold a press conference, but wrote an unprecedented open letter to customers on the website of Alien, explaining why he made such a choice. In this letter, he wrote: Ever since Alex Aguilar and I founded the aliens in 1996 with a personal loan of 10000 dollars, everything that has happened now is like a dream. Only Dell can inspire our business model and efficiency in the enterprise. ? He pointed out that the cooperation between the two companies includes many things, such as the business model of direct selling. Perhaps the most important thing is Gonzalez's statement that the trademark and business model of aliens will not change: I have realized the most important basic factor of our success: the brand of aliens. In the eyes of customers, aliens represent the coolest, most fashionable, most powerful and most innovative brands. People like our keenness, avantgarde and even impudence. The product design of aliens has never taken the road of popularization. In short, our customers know that we are not the computer enterprise of their parents. ?
A memo sent to employees by Arthur Lewis, general manager of Alien, shows that Dell has decided to reorganize Alien, integrate most of its business with its parent company, and streamline those departments that overlap with Dell's main business, including accounting, operation, IT support and procurement. Aliens will also close their only two factories in Miami and Ireland. In the future, all alien products will be produced by Dell factory or its ODM foundry.
Alien spokeswoman Winnie Wong has confirmed the news, but declined to disclose the specific number of layoffs caused by the integration. The memo also revealed that aliens plan to launch a series of branded software and peripheral products.
Closing factories and layoffs are not all bad things for aliens. What does this mean? Aliens? Finally, I joined the big family of Dell and began to use Dell's global channel power to expand globally.
