    it allmost hilarious what dell has beening doing lately,,now they cannot build there own high end sytems anymore, and has to steel from alienware...dell was suppose to leave alienware alone,,but now they are forcing its product line into dells and loosing its identity as a separate company...i don,t understand dell anymore...it seems alienware products on dells site is out of place,,,its like selling bmw,s at a chevy dealer...

    dells selling there average, cheap plastic laptops along with alienwares high end systems...you just watch....soon you will not be able to configure the alienwares....

    and the non-configurable options dell has now on most of its products, why would i want to buy a studio 17 with a intel 4500 video..and no way to get a better video option. .....dell is all but cheap today, and there plastic looking systems..; .ugly

    Hi ronss,
    I think you have misunderstood what Dell has accomplished and achieved a corporation. Dell systems are among the most reliable, well built, and dependable products that anyone can ever expect to use. If anything, the models have gotten better over the years with increased technology.
    The whole idea behind the aquisition of Alienware was not to hinder the XPS line or imply a weakness with their own systems. It was simply to great coporations coming together to better one another and help produce a more impressive and reliable gaming line. Because of Dell, Alienware has been able to reach more customers, improve quality control, and develop better and more stables systems. If anything, Dell has renewed the strength of Alienware.
    As the second largets computer coporation in the world, Dell has surpassed many other brands. I look forward to what they have to offer as both a technician and customer.
