DragonSteelMods reports: "For those who enjoy listening to music at work or during public transportation commutes, Altec Lansing offers AirFit headphones that go on the ear for rich, full stereo sound. Both the UHP 302 and UHP 303 feature breathable micro fiber ear pads and moisture resistant designs — the UHP 302 is an ear clip fit. The UHP 304 uses an over-the-head fit featuring a dual titanium headband design for ultra style and flexibility. The UHS 302 includes an inline volume control and microphone with mute switch." DragonSteelMods reports: "I was able to check out the Area-51 m9750 laptop, which is the uber gaming laptop from Alienware. This beauty weighs in at 8.5 pounds and features Dual Graphics Cards -512MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX GDDR3 NVIDIA nForce 100 with NVIDIA® SLI™ technology. The best part is that these are replaceable. So now your really expensive gaming laptop of doom will not be obsolete in six month, if you want to buy the next model of graphics card, of course."
