This year’s Consumer Electronics Show has been surprisingly interesting with some simple yet innovative tech on showcase, specifically in the PC domain. Both Asus and Acer introduced a unique perspective to portable gaming, and now we have Dell showcasing an Alienware gaming notebook that is said to be upgradable. The new Area 51m is a first of its kind laptop that is promised to come user-replaceable processor, graphics card, storage, and RAM.
