    Steve, this is one of those instances I sure hope you are wrong. I do like the correlation though. I am just hoping they were using the red as a nice contrast color and not as a sign of things to come. *faints from too much mental stimulation* :D


    Edit: Now, if it is both a 12 and 15... woohoo!

    AW loves hinting that way. So maybe we'll have both 12 and 15 inch options.

    also, I measured the feet of the kite's string, and it came to 15 feet... haha jk :p

    I talked to an AW tech support a week ago (story of my life), and he admitted they would be releasing a 15in soon, he told me that he's only recieved a little info on it, but it was 100%.

    I'm thinking the 3 heads are a new desktop, because if you look at their desktop line up, you'll see it is lacking.

    Second, is a 15in for sure.

    And third will be the 12in.

    This is just based on my assumptions though. ;)

    If they release a 15", it has to be i7, because it would be stupid releasing anything else at the same time as all the other i7 laptops come out.

    And if they release a 15" i7, they would/should upgrade the 17" to i7 also, because that's supposed to be the flagship, 'most powerful' model.

    So my bet is a desktop, a 15" i7, and a slightly revamped M17X.

    Doesn't matter because I believe 100000000000% that it will have i7 anyway :)

    Handshake posted a link to a blog earlier here. The post is from June and they have the same eyes. Probably done by accident...or thinking way ahead.

    If you look closely at the center green one, it's red iris resemble a skull somewhat. The left(our left) iris stretched slightly. Prolly no significance but i like adding to the mind games :D

    This things take a long time to develop.

    I am sure that AW had i7 prototypes back in June.

    They didn't wait until last month to decide on specs, ya know? :D

    Im looking at that blog Mandrake, and all I can this is... That's a pretty small box, 12 inches small, and he said there was a laptop inside of it.

    Also, He posted that in jun, only a month later did AW release a survey about 12 in laptops.

    Like Sleey0 said, and I agree, I'm sure they were working on 12in and i7 long before these Alien Head images even surfaced.

    How can you tell the size of the box?

    There is nothing to compare to in the photo. lol

    Look like the M17x box, just prettier :)

    I wouldn't think so Quad, They never did upgrade the processors in the m15x to the P series, but who knows.

    Pardon my ignorance but why would they be mad? You mean all the folks who have plunked down serious cash for the current M17x?

    Well if you have been patient this long i dont think a few more weeks will kill you :). I still find it abit strange though and maybe others do not that the new M15x(or what ever it may be) will have the i7 tech and the M17x which is also basically a brand new machine using the old tech. Just seems like it might really put a damper on the M17x sales regardless of SLI . When people see i7 in a mobile gaming platform i think they would flock to that much quicker myself.

    12 on the shirt. Roberto Alomar had the number 12. He last played September 5th, 2004. September 5th 2004 = 9/5/04, 9/5/4 = .45 - .45 Is 45 percent of one, and 45 percent of 365 is 164.25. That means that in 164.25 days, they will release a new computer.

    Marketing is most likely aware what the company is doing well in advance.

    I hope next week was worth the 3-month wait :)
