I have a very hard time understanding the price point for alienware now that they are just dell... Maybe laptops are different?

Nedrom · 02-04-2010, 05:13 PM

$899 for whats included is a pretty amazing deal

Oh the difference between the DELL XPS notebooks and Alienware is build quality and components.

If youve ever seen an XPS notebook you'll know what I mean. They're very cheap.

So before Dell bought Alienware, the price point was acceptable, but after Dell bought Alienware the price point is no longer acceptable? I thought Alienware was still offering the same bleeding edge systems that they were always offering, it's just that now they have a larger backing behind them.

Don't knock my XPS! I am still loving this damn thing after 3 years. Complete desktop replacement with no looking back.

11 inch screen gaming? no thanks

Not really the point to game on the included display. You'd want to have external Monitor(s) for that. The idea is a system powerful enough to be a desktop replacement in an actually portable form factor.

Basically the exact system I've been waiting for as an eventual upgrade for the old ladies laptop.

Edit: finished the review, the reflective screen sucks :p
