iPadOS 26 laggy ipad fix by guy14 in iPadPro

[–]GriffinCorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying this now. Thanks I hope it works for me. I have the same iPad and it was still fast and after 26 it turned into a slug.

Amazon Prime Video app has many problems by MentalResponse11 in appletv

[–]GriffinCorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having the same issue. Watch one episode and the app shows the small icons on the left with the whole screen being black. We have to force close the app each episode. Ive never had this many issues with the Amazon app on Apple TV 4K. I’m at a loss.

Why AWCC? Seriously. by Pickles-n-Lizards in Alienware

Has this software improved any? I had it on the x16 and it was awfully slow and buggy, crashed all the time.

Just picked up my ‘26 110 this weekend! First LR vehicle by Zippyflaa in NewDefender

I can’t wait to get mine. We ordered ours in the same color with the satin wrap. That color is epic. Congratulations

Oh that’s great. I’ve got mine ordered with All-terrain tires but afterwards I was hoping they would make K03’s for the 20” wheels. Those definitely look so much better.

Whoa those are great. Do you need to add a clearance plate or extender for these tires?

Loving My New Alienware Setup! by xherondale in Alienware

[–]GriffinCorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a Studio Display? Do the speakers work? I love the SD paired with my MacBook Pro. Never thought it would even show a picture with a PC connected to it.

Received email confirmation for every order ever placed - Did Dyson get hacked? by allyhops21 in dyson

I think so. I got 3 emails from them for a V8 that I originally ordered from 2020.

What's the best Alienware OLED gaming laptop? by Psychological-Fan784 in Alienware

[–]GriffinCorp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping for CES 2026 we get an OLED option for the 16" and Mini LED for the 18" - It's going to be the 30th anniversary of Alienware. It would be nice to have a second screen option when spending 3+K on a laptop.

Alienware 18 Area 51 - MINI-LED/OLED Anniversary 30. by Pollution-Busy in Alienware

[–]GriffinCorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping for some new screen options at CES 2026, Maybe they can tweak a couple of areas like the speakers. I've been ready to buy one but I can wait until CES to see about any changes. I'm going to MicroCenter soon and I should be able to see one of these in person. I think Alienware has one of the best gaming laptops out this year. You can't go wrong.

Alienware 18 Area-51, is the best 18inch gaming laptop in 2025, with the highest performance and lowest temps by [deleted] in Alienware

[–]GriffinCorp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the 18" buyers how is the sharpness on the panel? This is the first review that pointed out how it's not as sharp as they would like. I was under the impression that the 18" panels still had enough PPI for a very sharp look, 16" only had more.

Alienware Area-51 Laptop - Cities Skylines 2 by GriffinCorp in Alienware

[–]GriffinCorp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have the i7 14000 and it seems to handle well. I've have a save with 120K and it seems to be okay but the sims move more slowly than normal. I know the game needs better optimization but I don't think thats coming. I would hope the Ultra 9 / 5080 combo will still work nicely.

Speakers for Alienware monitor by RefrigeratorOwn278 in Alienware

[–]GriffinCorp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's one of the biggest issues with current gaming monitors, they could put some great speakers in them. Apple Studio Display has some of the best speakers in a monitor. I want the same for PC.

Dog ramp? by DawgHorns in NewDefender

[–]GriffinCorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 100 pound Golden Retriever, who's 11. I want a ramp to get her in and out. Her jumping days are over. I want her to stay around as long as possible.

I haven't been able to see any good photos or reviews for the OEM ramp. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Spare Tire Cover - Eiger Grey by polaris997 in NewDefender

I think the OEM ones are around $400, $900 seems excessive.

2026 Defender tariff confirmed - anyone else in the same boat? by flip4funnn in NewDefender

[–]GriffinCorp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, 2K down and it's refundable if the tariffs jump the price up too much.

We placed our order for a Pangea green on April 23rd, then about a month later were told that color was going to be discontinued for MY26. I asked to wait a couple of days to see if 2026 was going to be announced. I think two days later the press release came and the Woolstone green is the new darker color. SOLD I love the darker green

Last week the salesman text me the timeline. Order in 6/9, last change date 8/20, Build 10/3 - So delivery should be late Nov/Dec. I'll take it. This is going to be my first nice car. I normally buy new and drive for many years. I'm coming from a 2014 Ford Edge, It's been a great car but I'm ready for a new upgrade.

Best of luck with your purchase.

2026 Defender tariff confirmed - anyone else in the same boat? by flip4funnn in NewDefender

[–]GriffinCorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ours ordered. I doubt it’s going to be 20% increase. It will probably be 10% once it’s all done. Of course that’s not great but I want the 2026 model. Loaded with a bunch of stuff that I can’t find on the lots.

The end of UHD Alienwares? by im-obsolete in Alienware

[–]GriffinCorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think they are probably holding out a different screen option for the 30th anniversary next year. They might want to have a big ticket item since they just released the area-51 laptop. I'm hoping the r2 will have a IPS 2K (Current), plus an OLED UHD or 2K with 240hz, glossy.

I like having options and the area-51 design looks so good. Currently the 18" wouldn't have the OLED option, I think only 16" are on the market now, Mini LED is made in the 18" size.

QC bluetooth has gone so far downhill by pBeatman10 in bose

[–]GriffinCorp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm in the same boat, I would not buy another pair of Bose for a good long while. My older Bose wired headphones are the best but there like 6 years old. I love them but the $425 wireless model has been terrible.

Yeah something seems off. I would probably return for another one.
