    Alienware laptop is featured in the centre of the latest episode - S09E19 - found it to be really interesting that modern laptops could last longer, if not for faulty parts.

    Yupe, I saw it too, it's either AW17 R2 or R3.

    I wonder does Alienware have to pay advertisement fee to the producer or something besides giving out an AW17?

    By the way, 4K screen and 1TB SSD is going to cost a bomb. Amy is really rich LOL.

    As much as Micro$loth might not want to believe it, some people actually like Linux. I wonder how much the Linux fan club has grown since the release of W1ndoze OS X Malware Edition?

    They finally retired the ole' red aw 15x that has been on there since the beginning. Sad to see the good laptops going away and being replaced with piles of poo.

    First of all it was a Red M17x (notice the numeric keypad) and many like the new models (though I am still hanging onto my Alienware 18). I liked his new Alienware and he did need a new laptop, glad Amy was smart enough to buy him a new Alienware. I told my wife if she did that for me I would faint lol.

    I think not a ot. As long as MS has grip on the productivity and gaming market with all the supported apps Linux will always will be not so viable alternative.

    What I would like to see is some numbers on how many people upgraded downgraded to W1ndoze OS X Malware Edition, hated it and downgraded upgraded to what they were using before. Those would be some interesting stats, for sure. I'm triple-booting 7, 8 and 10 on a couple of machines so I can pick and choose what I want whenever I feel like it. I feel like using W1ndoze OS X about 10% of the time, maybe less. The other 90% of the time I choose something better.

    I have only seen Sheldon own one Alienware laptop, the red 17 inch. I saw his two desktops in his storage bin but he never used them on the show.
