Dell+Alienware=Dellienware?
Rahul Sood, founder of Voodoo PC, says in one of his latest blogs that he thinks Alienware will get bought out by Dell this year. it makes a lot of sense, and it would mark the beginning of the AMD+Dell movement that HAS to happen if Dell wishes to keep making monies.
i think they're a perfect match, really. both companies disgust the hell out of me  everybody wins: AW gets $, Dell gets uber0rz1337g4merz to give them $, and AMD gets the likes of the Dell marketing machine behind a product that already features its product.

This should be amazing situation for the customers. Imagine AMD getting the marketing powers of Dell...and you can get custom laptops for really dirt cheap prizes. (If you know how to buy Dell laptops, they can be as cheap as desktops with good specs)
But a Dell will still remain a Dell...

I wish alienware didn't exsist, it's every n00bs dream to spend way to much money on the best of the best of the best when it's way over the top, just so they can show off to other n00bs while modders laugh at them and shake their heads

I can't stand either of them, it'll just give me one less company to have to ignore.

only thing those performance pc companies are really good for is a performance laptop .. if you need major mobile power.

Maybe, but who really wants/needs mobile power? It always comes at a price: one hour of battery life and 15 pounds of crap to carry around with you wherever you go for a single enjoyable hour. They arent' good for working because they are heavy, they aren't good for actual mobile gaming because they aren't really THAT mobile. They're good for nothing, imo.

Yea, I'll take a slightly more affordable Asus laptop with x700 mobility, and a 2.13 Pentium M and 4 hrs of battery life over a dell XPS.

I prefer a nice clean looking economical case over that light up crap, but that's my opinion.
