You can get the same models without all that plastic crap from other resellers for less.]]>Mar 15th 2010 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/alienware-sneaks-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-area-51-alx/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/alienware-sneaks-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-area-51-alx/Mar 15th 2010 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/alienware-sneaks-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-area-51-alx/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/alienware-sneaks-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-area-51-alx/Actually even though they're not manufactured in house, companies like Dell, Asus, Acer, HP, Apple, and Sony. Do design their specifications, build materials, etc in house.

Alienware laptops are not designed in house. They just buy Clevos and Compals, add those guady vents and other garbage to it, and sell them at higher prices than they should be sold at. I repeat again, at places like XoticPC and Sager you can buy those same Compals and Clevos, without the extra markup.]]>Mar 15th 2010 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/alienware-sneaks-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-area-51-alx/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/alienware-sneaks-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-area-51-alx/Po-ta-to : Po-tah-to. lol.

Alienware also offers the ability to upgrade your product when buying, i didnt see this option with compal

so, you know, OBVIOUSLY alienware just buy them, paint them, and sell them on...]]>Mar 17th 2010 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/alienware-sneaks-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-area-51-alx/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/alienware-sneaks-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-area-51-alx/Mar 15th 2010 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/alienware-sneaks-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-area-51-alx/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/alienware-sneaks-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-area-51-alx/
