    none of us can know for sure. I could make an account and claim to be a worker or know someone. My skepticism remains for all theories.

    The thing is that this could take a negative turn for either him or Alienware if information were to be leaked. Especially with him posting as an Alienware employee.

    Alienware has employees posting on forums but they do so as official Alienware employees, with Alienware's permission and under forum moderator approval.

    Alienware employees are also bound by a confidentiality contract.

    Nope, not bluffing, as I said before... do I earn something bluffing, or shooting to the air? Nope, nothing at all!

    That is correct... of course I won't post any tech details, specs, style stuff... I can lose my job doing that.

    All I have said is true... is personal opinion.. obviously respecting my confidentiality contract and ethics with the company!

    Is something new... I can't talk about the style... but you'll see... is awesome. Having the money to buy it, for sure.. I'll buy it... and this is weird... I'm more a desktop guy... but this lappy is changing my mind

    Ok ok, I guess I will have to wait till it comes out, but I am really attached to the skullcap look with the alienhead on it, but I guess they probably already know how popular the style is, and wont disappoint :D!

    Exactly! Remember that AW is always trying to innovate.. bringing new products and designs to the market... The skullcap design on the M17, 9750, m15x and m17x is part of the brand and is always requested from our customers.. Also the Alienhead will remain there, very stylish!

    JAJA! Good call.. well the M17 is not a bad laptop.. cool product in my believe. As a personal opinion.. not reflecting AW's opinion... I'm not a fan of ATI VC's... I prefer Nvidia, but wait and see, the new lappy is really cool, for sure you'll like it!

    I can't disclose ETA's... I know the release is close, really close.

    Regarding Back to School sales... well, is a good opportunity to sell more products.. for sure AW won't miss the chance!

    Its not that I dont like ATI graphics cards, its more of the fact that the 3870's were not as top of the line as other graphics cards in real life performance, so I just wanted to wait for graphics cards that would perform better in real world performance, not just benchmarks.

    Why do I have to confirm that? I do work for AW.. I'm in the office as we speak. I'm not a troll.. :)

    Of course I won't reveal any data.. I can get fired without question! Do you wanna be my sugar daddy and pay my bills... of course not... simple as that! :D

    You may be who you claim you are, but I call BS on the completely wrong description by Gophn. I even went back and read what he wrote again and he's made some adjustments that are even more accurate than his first draft was.

    So if the system is completely different and it's not a Clevo as you yourself admitted in some posts afterwards, what is it? A Pentium IV?

    You guys crack me up :D

    I work for AW too guys. The new laptop will be 26" and it will feature the same hardware that exists in the army's super computers as well as a pink skullcap cover that is removable and comes with 1 cover replacement of your choice.

    This is the internet people do that kind of stuff all the time for no other reasons than epeen and giggles.

    Fact of the matter is whether you're telling the truth or faking makes no difference as either way something along those lines would be your reason for posting since you're obviously not here to tell us details.

    The value of your posts basically amount to either "Nyaa nyaa I know and you don't!" or "Nyaa nyaa I'm just screwing with you!"

    what's the point then? to tell us things we can easily figure out ourselves (it performs good? wow...), and taunt us with "shame i can't tell you"?

    It's actually a joint venture with Dell, Apple and Alienware.

    It's got Dell and Apple hardware backing it up, the Alienware performance and support. And a special version of Windows which is a blend of Windows and OSX. Not only it runs smooth, but also stable. :D

    Maybe but you didn't need 20-odd posts to say that. The reason you took so many posts to tell us that you couldn't tell us anything was because you enjoyed the attention you were getting.

    It's essentially trolling.

    Anywho, did I mention that the plan is to call this thing the M17x?

    I was already pissed off when they called the last one M17 because it'd be confusing with the m17x still being out and all.

    I think they lack imagination over at Product Group...

    Not that I know of... being called m17x. But is possible.

    Agree with the M17-m17x name... confusing!
