    Ok, so where do you get these vouchers from?

    My company has a EPP account with Dell. Does the vouchers go to the employer that has the account or what?

    It will likely be several products not just desktops and laptops. Alienware branded software and peripherals were also talked about in the press release announcing Dell's takeover of production for AW.

    http://www.donotargue.com/page.php?id=1164

    Quicksilver is definitely a notebook, perhaps the one revealed in the released Wallpaper....however after watching the All Powerful video I'm convinced what is being show there is in fact a desktop.

    why would it be a desktop now ?
    they alread off 4 desktops one with core i7 @ 4ghz and 295 gtx's 4870x2 every thing out they have, so what would be the point in a new desktop? It would make no marketing sense to release one now

    its a laptop they readhusted the laptop section to fit 3 laptops ...face it its a laptop

    The translation is:

    The sum of the first four primes
    denotes a state of two parts
    known as the gentleman's muscle car of 1967
    when pure, it will carry a yield strength of 7-11 mpa
    is always empty in zero sum games

    17 inch dual core with a GTX gpu and an aluminium case. That 'dualism' part must imply something else. 2 GPUs? :E I cant imagine this new laptop not being quad core.

    The best I could come up with for the zero sum game line is that it may be a reference to "Core."

    Zero sum game=A game (or a similar economic system) in which the winnings of some players must equal the losses of others.

    Could be our gain (people who buy this laptop) is their loss (people who don't.

    Too metaphysical.

    Think Mad Libs.

    __a person, place, thing, or idea__ is always empty in zero sum games.

    I'm glad i'm getting an M17, because you would sound like a when people ask you what model the laptop is, and you go "all powerful". They would be like, what is he on?

    There's no way they would call this All Powerful if it only had one gtx and was dual core, it be pretty mediocre.

    I hope the reason why there's no references to ATI cards is because they couldn't think of anything that rhymes with 4870.

    Maybe if by gentleman they meant a dandy and by muscle they meant something obviously phallic.

    In '67 Plymouth released the GTX, advertising it as a gentleman's muscle car so there's no doubt which car AW is referring to.....although they could have changed the date and connected the reference instead to the Monte Carlo SS (which is also considered a gentelman's muscle car) and gave the clue to which CPUs are being used.

    There's a mobile 4800x2 reference card but we don't know who it was designed for or if it was a 4850 or 4870. Would come down to whether it used GDDR5 or not really.

    If the chassis is a redesigned XPS1730/M17x that would be a possible card as those chassis had the GPUs placed right next to each other.
