    Chat with an Alienware seller named "Please do not post employee contact info...we've been requested to look out for this. Thanks!"(Nick is myself[NIXZ])

    ####@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@START@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@####

    Redacted: Hi, my name is Redacted. How may I help you?

    Nick: Theres a lot of new hardware released this month
    from Intel: new proccessors and nVidia: new graphics cards.
    Im not asking for you to say something about Alienware's new
    notebook (the m19x i dont know how you will call it) cause
    i already know that Alienware will release something new but
    when will Alienware realese those new notebooks with new
    hardware included ???


    Nick: Anybody there?

    Redacted: There has not been any news as to when that will
    be available. Once there is an announcement will be posted on
    our website and through our newsletter.

    Nick: So you are saying to me that Alienware will just keep
    selling the old notebooks with the old hardware at the same
    prize with those brand new notebooks with the new hardware
    that other companies like hewlett packard and MSI sell.
    Will Alienware drop the prize for the m15x or what ???


    Redacted: Unfortunately we have not yet announced what
    we will be doing. Please keep checking the site daily.


    Nick:
    Im infront of my PC waiting for an answer and if you are
    not an artificial inteligent code (script) written to give answers
    you probably are in a room full of Alienware sellers, Alienware
    notebooks and you have access to files about new releases that
    i dont...you have the information that i seek so will you tell
    me something new or keep trying to avoid the questions asked ???

    Nick: Hello!...

    Redacted:
    We do not have any information on future products.

    Nick: Come on!!! Give me a clue thats the purpose we are all chat
    in this so called "room" to abstract some well hidden info...
    Why do they call it a chat when the sellers does not answer to crushal
    questions and they just trying to bypass them ???


    Nick: Anyone there?

    Redacted: We are not allowed to disclose any information on future
    products.


    Redacted: We only have information on our current hardware.

    Redacted: Is there anything else that I may help you with?

    Nick: "We are not allowed" ??? Come on You dont even like your job its
    never late to become what you never were...you are saying whatever they
    tell you to say (like a script) im talking to a well programmed script
    (flesh and bones included) it takes at least 3 minutes to answer to my
    question when you saw that you ve comment something like "not allowed"
    you quickly wrote that "We only have information on our current hardware."
    thats retarted...are you paid to do this ???

    Nick: let me guess your next answer:

    Nick: i dont understand what you are saying is there anything else that
    i may help you with...

    1) wrong forum
    2) you were being rude
    3) they won't know anything until few days before the new model come out, at this point, they know no more than we do.
    4) I personally will disconnect the chat after your third message.

    First thing to note is that I do not work for a PC company (I cant even find a job)

    But for them to tell you would not be good for there company. No PC maker will diclose that information because that is how companies stratigise.

    Very mean and ignorant... but very true. Still, I'm sure they know that and they don't appreciate you telling them.

    Wow, this is why the depression/suicide rate is so high for CSRs.

    1)Thread moved.
    2)Yeah, just a little...they use scripts so they can help more people since alot of people ask the same question. This way, they can concentrate their efforts on people who need help/more likely to buy something instead of people who are just trying to bug them.
    3). Yep. Most Salesman/CS are usually the last people to know...
    4). Yeah, it they are not helpful, then there is no need to continue the conversation.

    BTW, this thread is now closed since there is no point to this thread and it will continue to degrade. If A CS agent discloses any info about a new product, then feel free to post it.
