I love Dells - I have bought three Dell laptops from the outlet this past year. But REGARDLESS of what you think about them vs others (e.g., ASUS), at some point Dell and HP have to rollover on pricing at the high end when compared to 'specs' offered by others. And, yes, specs matter!!!! A classic example is the new ~$1,400 ASUS G73 (i7, duel 500GB harddrives, HD 17.3" (1920x1080), 8 video.....). Label it enterprise, business, home office, gaming.... those labels are totally meaningless today as all buyers are gravitating towards the big three of specs, value and style (which Dell's biz lines totally lack). I love Dell, and would jump on this offering at a much better value proposition. But Dell needs to read the writing on the wall. After a similar configuration to the G73, this computer comes in above $3,000. Totally insane!!! I don't care WHAT you thought of ASUS before - buy a G73 AND a G51 for the price of this single box.
There's more to PC games than computer towers and input devices... Enter the CM Storm Sirus, the outfit's first foray into the world of gaming headsets.
