Dell - A Brand Of Tech That Even Ant-Man and The Wasp Trust In

| |
Hi Huneybees,


If you have caught the Marvel Studios' "Ant-Man and The Wasp", did you spot the Dell devices that they use in their efforts to fight crime? Well, from Ant-Man's and The Wasp's suits to Hank Pym's lab, you can see Dell playing a big part in the technology department.

This is not just a sponsorship stunt, Dell's involvement in the movie making also extends behind the scenes, where Dell hardware is used in creating the magnificent visual effects in the film. Marvel Studios enlisted VFX vendors, several of which utilized a breadth of Dell technologies, including Dell EMC PowerEdge servers, and Dell Precision workstations, as the core infrastructure to provide the immense computing power and storage capacity necessary for visual effects designers to bring the movie’s characters and places to live.


Among others, artists at the VFX studio DNEG, who worked on Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and The Wasp,” rely on Dell Precision workstations for front-end operations. Dell’s Precision line is a leader in the industry, allowing creators to edit and create new storytelling methods. In the company’s Vancouver studio alone, more than 300 Dell Precision workstations are used to create compelling effects. Imagine an adrenaline-fueled car chase through San Francisco, moments of Ant-Man and The Wasp shrinking, or an intricate lab scene featuring Ghost phasing in and out of walls – technologies from Dell help make these ideas reality.


That also leads us to the introduction of the new Dell G series, that made several cameo appearances in the movie.

The new Windows 10 Gaming PC - Dell G3 15 and Dell G7 15 laptops are here to deliver gaming solutions for players of all levels and at an affordable price. They are equipped with powerful NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-Series GPUs, 8th Gen Intel Core Processors, Thermal Management solutions, Intelligent Content Prioritisation software, Anti-Glare IPS Panels and other individual add ons for gamers to be fully immersed in their games.


Both laptops may seem pretty light and slim, but definitely "strong" enough to support any type of gaming. I tried playing Tomb Raider on them at the launch event, it was very smooth, no lagging or jerking, I think they make good companions for heavy duty works.


Dell G3 15 (3579)
  • In a 15-inch form factor, the Dell G3 15 laptop is powered by NVIDIA GeForce GTX discrete GPUs from 1050 to 1060 with Max-Q design technology, up to 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 CPUs, dual fans and dual drives with SSD options
  • The laptop’s 2x2 WiFi antenna design provides great wireless performance, while the SmartByte software prioritises gaming and video content keeping them smooth, even during large file downloads

  • Encased in a refined performance inspired design and a silky matte exterior finish, the laptop boasts a slim 22.7mm profile encouraging gaming-on-the-go, making it Dell’s thinnest gaming laptop to date
  • Dell G3 15 will be available in Licorice Black, Recon Blue, Alpine White

Dell G7 15 (7588)
  • For those seeking a step-up in performance from the G3 systems, the Dell G7 15 comes in a sleek 25mm thin 15-inch chassis, with powerful NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPUs with Max-Q design technology
  • The system features 6GB GDDR5 dedicated memory3, up to 6-core performance with 8th Gen Intel® Core™ processors (with up to Core i9), dual fans, and dual drives with SSD options
  • The G7 15 offers optional 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i9 CPU and UHD display (3840x2160) configurations
  • Killer Gigabit Ethernet networking optimisation (or optional Killer Wireless 2x2 LAN) or SmartByte software responsively prioritise content downloads for smooth, uninterrupted gaming and streaming

  • Designed to push heat and noise away from the player, Dell equipped a front air intake and rear exhaust vent keep players cool, and enable longer gameplay
  • Immersing players deeper into the game, the Dell G7 15 will also offer an optional IPS UHD 4k panel to summon a premium on-screen experience
  • The Dell G7 15 is available in either Licorice Black or Alpine White

For a level up gaming experience, the Dell PC gaming ecosystem is completed with a line of gaming hardware accessories such as the brand-new Alienware Wireless Gaming Headset and the Dell Visor


The diehards get game-dominating audiophile detail with the Alienware Wireless Gaming Headset. Boost gaming immersion with clear natural and spatial sound, acoustic signature presets and customisable sound profiles, augmented by high-fidelity 40mm Neodymium drivers to deliver deep rich bass and an expansive soundscape. All with 15 hours of battery life and a 40 ft. wireless range. 


The Dell Visor takes advantage of the same technology used in the Microsoft HoloLens, including inside-out tracking cameras, with a 360 degree panoramic view. The headset itself is able to scan surroundings instead of satellite emitters positioned inside the room. It offers an immersive, life-like, MR experience with high resolution of 1440 x 1440 per eye, dual 2.89” LCD panels and blazing refresh rate of 90Hz. The Controllers allow users total control with haptic feedback, thumb stick and buttons fully tracked by sensors in the headset


The Dell G Series laptops are now available through Dell and its authorised partners:
Dell G3 15 Gaming Laptop (From $1,199)
Dell G7 15 Gaming Laptop (From $1,699)
Alienware Wireless Gaming Headset (From $361)
Dell Visor with Controllers ($830)

10 Things I Love About The 'Marvel Studios: Ten Years of Heroes' Exhibition

| |
Hi Huneybees,


It's been 10 years since Iron Man first popped on to our cinema screens, spawning one after another movie, creating one of the biggest movie franchise out there that now it's been named as a universe - Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Photo Credits: The Indian Express

Jumping out of the Marvel Comics, are the superheroes we know as the Avengers. Whilst the cast who plays the superheroes assemble to get their very own commemorative tattoo, we the Marvel fans here in Singapore, get to indulge ourselves in the World of Marvel at the 'Marvel Studios: Ten Years of Heroes' exhibition.


10 years, 19 movies all compacted into a gallery space within the ArtScience Museum with 10 themed sections for you to step into the MCU. I was there for a media preview, took a plethora of photos and here's 10 things I love about the exhibition...



1) Movie Posters Gallery
Every single Marvel movie poster featured alongside with a little playback, summary and categorized according to order will bring you down memory lane. Which ones have you watched before? Did you miss any of them? If I could have a special room for mementos, this dream room will definitely be the one.



2) Light Projection Iron Man
Entering the Stark Tower, stands a white Iron Man statue. The Hall of Armors pop up on the screen behind and light projection via mapping is cast onto the statue to show you the evolution of armors Iron Man has worked on. Going from Mark I to Mark XLVI, you will get to see how the pieces come together and what upgrades have been made. 



3) Thor's Hammer
Stepping out of the Bifrost, brings you to the Sakaar's gladiator scene where the iconic battle between Thor and Hulk from 'Thor: Ragnorok' happened. That may be a magnificent scene to marvel at but what's hiding at a corner is the Mjolnir. I tried, but guess I wasn't the chosen one, it's your turn now...


4) I Am Groot
One of my favourite characters from the MCU, makes an appearance too. I grooved to the soundtracks from the Guardians Of The Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 and dance along with Baby Groot!



5) Opening Portals with Doctor Strange
This might just be as close as I can get to Benedict Cumberbatch! That charming Doctor Strange vibe makes him so mysterious~ Not only did I get to take endless pictures with "him", I also got a chance to practice Alchemy, bending reality and opening portals to some of Singapore's iconic tourist spots!


6) Wakanda Forever
Yes, you can travel to the secretive Wakanda without the need for your passport. At this gallery, you can enter the Panther Cave to meet Black Panther himself and explore their tech. I do love the whole setup but if there was a section for Shuri's tech lab, it will be perfect!




7) Microscopic World
I was tracing the little ants on the floor and popped into this space, wondering what is there to see. Then I noticed 2 magnifying glasses which behind stood Ant-Man and The Wasp. So, this is how small they are?! I could pinch them with my fingers! Well, prepare your microlens for this gallery (don't be like me) coz they are very detailed and you wouldn't want to miss it.



8) Thanos
At this last section of the exhibition, stands Thanos and his Infinity Gauntlet, where you can activate it with each of the Infinity Stones via an interactive display. Though he is being named as the villain of the MCU, I can't help feeling in awe for this character. He had a mission and spent all his efforts to fulfill that; all the determination and "discipline" in improving and empowering himself, is definitely the kind of spirit I look up to and hope to have.


9) Group Photo
Remember that famous Oscar Selfie by Ellen DeGeneres? Top that at the photo wall upon exit with an epic MCU wefie. The whole cast of the Marvel movie series, joined with the director and even Stan Lee have all lined up for that shot with you!


10) Exclusive Merchandise
Don't rush out of the exhibition just yet. The souvenir store is there waiting and right at the middle, you can spot these black t-shirts with a number 10 printed on the back. These are sold exclusively to commemorate the 10th anniversary MCU and you can choose different designs that feature a silhouette of your favourite superheroes like Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, etc...


So there you have it, these are the 10 little things I love about the 'Marvel Studios: Ten Years of Heroes' Exhibition. There are so much more for you to explore and photo spots for all your social media sharing. Be sure to head on over to the ArtScience Museum to check it out.
