    How many of you have watched History Channel's Ultimate Warrior ??? If so have you noticed that the laptops that they use are the Apple MacBook Pro and what looks like the Alienware M15X and I think sometimes they have either the M17X or M17 also. These are the laptops that they plug in all the variables that they find and have tested to do the calculations and simulations for the Ultimate Warrior. Very interesting show !!! God Bless :)

    Yeah, that show is pretty cool.

    The guys in "The Big Bang Theory" use an Alienware as well.

    About 3 or 4 episodes back the M15x was on NBC's Chuck. He works at a Buy More (aka Best Buy) and they were all anticipating a new super laptop everyone would want. They received a notebook that was actually a spy notebook which ended up being the M15x. The lit up Alienware symbol was a bit distorted by extra plastic covering but you could still see it said Alienware.

    Yup the M15X has been on Chuck twice as far as I can remember, once as itself in the background and once as the super secret laptop mentioned above

    Dell and Asus are agressive when it comes to advertising their products. I've seen a couple of Dell XPS gaming notebooks shown without cloaking the logo in a couple of TV shows (Lex Luthor uses one on Smallville), and I've seen the Alienware M15x as well (one of the doctors from the show "The Doctors" on CBS uses one on the show). I've seen a few Asus notebooks on mostly NBC shows.
