    If they knew about it they would do something about it. This is how they are introducing a new line and it's not working correctly.

    Hopefully they offer both. I'd like to take it out in public without people asking me if my notebook has anorexia.

    Never got calling it skullcap either....they say skull but the lid is ribbed. ;þ

Ill be working in Healthcare IT as a support analyst troubleshooting hospital software. Life is good right now :)

    the Dell XPS m1730 and the Alienware m17x are/were two different notebooks. Dell plans on utilising AW as the sole gaming brand, while Dell covers the mainstream, business and high-end sectors.
