These things look like a preteen designed them. What gives?]]>Jul 16th 2009 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/Jul 16th 2009 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/Jul 16th 2009 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/Jul 16th 2009 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/
They did have "street cred", for what that's worth. I had a buddy drop about $3k on an Alienware laptop in '04 but it never worked quite right. All kinds of hardware problems (particularly with the sound card). Not sure if this was a common occurrence or just a lemon.]]>Jul 16th 2009 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/
while I agree this model was a stupid idea, if you look at their M15x for example, you can see that Dell has them working in house designs and making prices more reasonable]]>Jul 16th 2009 8:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/Jul 16th 2009 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/Jul 16th 2009 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/
Now it just looks like a preteen wrote it.

If you want to make that comment "Alienware lost all its cred when Dell bought them out". then you have to say the same towards HP when they acquired Voodoo.

Alienware is a wholly owned subsidiary who operate just as they did before Dell bought them.]]>Jul 16th 2009 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/
That said, the real action will come when they come out with a new M15X to compete with Asus (G51, G60) and all the Sager derivatives, while keeping it from cannibalizing Studio and XPS sales. One part of it will be limiting the Studio XPS 1640 to mid-range graphics (and the thermal design probably can't take anymore anyways), but it'll be interesting to see what else they do. And they need to hurry up. ]]>Jul 16th 2009 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/
You try stuffing everything in this laptop into a smaller form factor. It isn't going to happen, tard.

It's still on the ugly side, but calling it TOO bullky is blatant stupidity. Choose a different line if you want more portability. ]]>Jul 16th 2009 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/Jul 16th 2009 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/
In my opinion this Alienware looks like they were going for a stealth fighter/bomber look. It's a toss up between which is uglier I spose. But if the Alienware performs as well as my Dell it's probably worth the money for the thing. $99 for the color is pretty cheesy but when you're spending over $3000 an extra $100 is probably not first and foremost on everyone's mind.]]>Jul 16th 2009 8:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/Jul 16th 2009 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/Jul 16th 2009 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/Jul 16th 2009 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/Jul 16th 2009 8:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/Jul 16th 2009 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/alienware-m17x-gaming-laptop-gets-special-edition-nebula-red-c/ looks, buddy.
