Good question!

i was born in Cuba. Both my parents were born in Cuba and the three of us moved to the US in 1980 without a dime in our pockets. We did this because we wanted to express ourselves in ways that the Cuban government did not and still does not tolerate. I'm 28 years old now and work at Alienware - I'm a lowby there, but, the people who founded Alienware are Cuban and started the business from a garage with a $10k loan. This proves that Cubans (like many oppressed citizens of the world) find a way to challenge their environments to achieve whatever success they may aspire to.

I love the US and I love Cuba (I visited several years ago via a charter plane to visit my grandparents - one is still alive). I'm an American citizen and defend the American way daily.

I say capitalism is not perfect, however, up to date, there has been no other form of government that provides for its people the degree of opportunity and freedom like it. So it's our jobs to steer this country and its economy in the right direction.

I'm glad computers are becoming more easily available in Cuba. This will enable more and more people to be educated and enjoy technology - a priviledge everyone in the world should have access to.

My three cents.

P.S. it actually is said "estoy en Cuba" (means "I'm in Cuba") from the post above. :D

For $3k you can also get a great Alienware desktop with SLI or CrossFireX, whats the point you're trying to make?

Also, you can't get everything this notebook has to offer on any other notebook. This is killer notebook

They're not Canadian.

This would be a sweet win. What a beautiful monitor!

I once owned an Area-51 m5500. Used it as a desktop replacement. My gaming only extended to World of Warcraft and it handled it very well. Since then I resold the notebook and built my own desktop. I've been looking at Apple notebooks but can't justify the price for the performance they offer. Now there's another lappy to think about. Extreme edition procs and 8800 graphics! wtf.
