Alienware M11x notebook to get a refresh?

We have just comprehensively reviewed the Alienware M11x notebook last week, and have heard whispers of the mini gaming notebook getting a refresh in due time - where we are looking at a June or July release date. Apparently, the refreshed M11x might just come with the new Optimus technology from Nvidia, and you will be able to choose from an Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processor, depending on the depths of your pocket (as well as just how much processing power you need). Why not check out the video after the jump and try to analyze the person's body language as to whether he is telling the truth concerning a refresh or not? This rumor, if proven true, would probably be a bummer to those who just picked up the Alienware M11x recently since they won’t be expecting a refresh that soon.

Dell Froot Concept

An industrial designer named Pauline Carlos has created an interesting concept for Dell. The concept is called the Froot. The Froot is a new type of computer that is composed of two projectors that eliminate the need for a traditional monitor or USB keyboard.

The Froot's projectors display the image of the monitor on the wall and will project a keyboard on a table or surface for typing. The only thing that a person will need to properly run their computer is a blank wall and empty desk. Ports are placed on the left hand side of the Froot and the right side of the device features a DVD drive.

The Froot could be beneficial to the environment. The use of a virtual monitor and keyboard could eliminate much of the material that goes into creating computers. In essence, the Froot is more than a concept; it's an idea that caters to sustainability. This means that there will be less junk and trash in landfills.

To create the Froot, Pauline used a biodegradable case where the two projectors are housed. The only thing that the Froot is missing is a mouse. The mouse issue probably won't be solved with a third projector.
