    28 Here [​IMG] Although at the time, I'm in between M17x's. Kinda of playing the field. Gotta keep my options open. Actually my "x" was becoming older and I wanted something younger and more attractive (RGB)...

    15 year old kids can't afford the "high maintenance" laptops.

    EDIT: I have since taken back this statement. :p

    Woo hoo, that makes me the youngest one! I'm 20 :D. And yes I'm pretty young to own such an expensive laptop but AW was my dream computer ever since I started gaming. Worked my butt off and finally took one!

    I've wanted one since the M9750 came out but I couldn't afford one. Got my M17x for high school graduation from my parents/grandparents.

    Upset that there wasn't a section in the poll for you BatBoy? :p Jks jks.

    too broad of ranges.

    Need to change the 20-30 especially. Like 20-25 and 26-30 or something similar.

    With some embarrasment I need to say 32.
    And technically I do still own a M17x R1. It just isn't in my vicinity anymore...

    23 years old. I technically don't even have it because my lady uses it more than I do. I usually just use my desktop or m11x.

    Will be 33 at the end of the month.

    Bought my first AW desktop when I was 29. Wanted one for years before that. :)
    I totally agree.

    Something like what they do for TV rating categories (these are a bit broader):
    • 17 & under
    • 18-25
    • 26-34
    • 35-54
    • 55+
