why doesnt alienware make their laptop lines sexier

i dont get why they cant design their laptops to be better looking. i mean their desktops look fairly good. Not great, but understandably stylish in that 'alien' sort of way that may appeal to gamers. I dont understand why their laptops are sooooo ugly. geez, put some of those 'alien' styles to it. right now it just looks like a big insanely heavy brick with flashy lights. its also HUGE. they might wana try make some sort of 'ultraportable gamer' machine.

 

Trolls live under bridges not in caves.

 

Can't have all of that power in a small chassis. You aren't going to get an "ultraportable gamer machine" without it exploding.

The M17x looks nice to me. Sure it could look more "alien" like by having more sleek curves, but I don't mind either way.

 

really.. i think the m17x is way too bulky looking. It reminds me of those big grey boring office notebooks of decades past. only this one is not grey and apparently has some led lights

i think the m15x is oooookkkkkkkkkk~? could use some color themes on the case.

 

"Beauty is in the eve of the beholder"

The same reason why you probably think 500lb women are hot and I don't

 

I don't understand why you're complaining about bulkiness... there is no way around that really... unless you want the hardware to fail. You're looking at a high performance notebook, one should never expect it to look like a macbook or whatever.

 

no bulkiness and size is different.

yes cause since alienware dont design most of the electronics themselves they have litle control and so if you want the best and you throw all the parts in a bag and its going to be big. thats ok.

but its just that i can imagine them doing better more outrageous 'alien' designs rather than just a rectangular block. ok so you can add that alien skullcap cover. but seems not very creative compared to what their whole branding concept/marketing was. Their branding concept and appeal had always appeared to me as being their style above their performance. Thats where most of the premium should be going to. I think they can make some improvements for the better in the style department of laptops.

 

Either you're ignorant of the new M17x...





...or you're upset that Alienware isn't owned by Apple.

 

LOL - you are evil.

 

the center hinge reminds me of those toshiba notebooks 6 years ago. it also reminds me of tablet pcs. but then when you try to turn the screen it doesnt work.

 

trolls are ugly

 

The last time I checked, Alien ships have never been portable. And the only sleek alien object is a saucer. Every other Alien object is far from small or sleek.

Trolls - Don't trolls like small shiney objects?

It is very sexy! And I swear when I sow it I thought that it was designed by same man who does macbooks

 

Its a frikkin Laptop. You wont be getting the girls by owning one which looks "sexy".

Like srsli.

High End Gaming laptops tend to be bulky due to the size of their components (were talking of a nb capable of QC, Sli, 2+ HDD etc) and the cooling system needed to regulate all these components. Hence the Clevo D901c and the AW M17x are not the most thinnest things on the block, but why do you care? If you care about looks, buy a 500$ mac on ebay/craigslist.

 

Yeah right. Maybe if they took the Macbook, pumped it full of gamma radiation, then got it angry.

 

Have you seen the Asus W90vp-x1 and Sager NP9850 ??? God Bless

 

You come on here to the Alienware forum and tell a bunch of alienware owners and fans that their laptop designs suck. That's like going to the deep south and insulting Nascar, George Bush and Jesus. Them's fighting words!

 

lol! but he's complaing about how big it is.

 

as its been said before on reviews, there are certain trade-offs, its big but its got alot of power

 

Before my M17. I had an Apple Air (wife talked me into it), looked nice but ran like a pile of e, one of the cores kept on shutting down when overheating.

 

This is macbook from Chernobyl

 

If you compare similarly speced systems, they're all bulky 2"+ machines in width and Alienware in my eyes seems to strike a good balance between professional and gamer. It something I can see myself take out in public and not be embarrassed to have it.

An example of cut and dry/no nonsense would be a Clevo model or Asus. They get the job done, nothing more nothing less.

If you want tacky.. just look at the old XPS 1730 model or Toshiba's Qoosimo (Fire red with flames all over it).

 

yea I agree. I dont think alienware laptops are tacky at all. its just not pretty. Then again youre paying a premium for alienware so at least give us a good looking product to go with it. its like their desktop lines. You can build your own pc with the same specs as alienware for a lot less. Why pay for alienware then? its the brand but also the case that entices people.

yes toshiba's tacky qoosimo is big time ugly.

 

For me it boils down to being unique.

I could get a comp from sager, xoticpc, prostar, etc, but they are ALL THE SAME!

 

your girlfriend thinks the M17x is sexy, she said "if the M17x was a guy, I'd tap that over useroflaptops". She also thinks "its also HUGE"

 

maybe bc it is the same laptop sold by different people?

 

So many people say over and over again you can build your own computer for less. Yes but not everyone is a geek like you and knows how to build a computer from scratch. Yes it costs more getting a computer from Alienware or any other company that will build your pc to your specifications because you are paying the extra cash for them to build it for you. They aren't going to build it for free. When you build a pc yourself your just paying for the parts when you get a computer from a company like Alienware you're paying for the parts and the cost of labour to build the computer.

 

That was my whole point

 

But is it truly unique?AW probably sells more than all of those companies together...

 

For me, yes.

Alienware has a team of designers that sits down and designs these systems.

Clevo is an ODM and, as anyone can clearly see, they do not put a premium in the design department

 

Waht do you want then? Mini-skirt, Fishnets and High Heels?

 

HELL YES!!!!! lol

 

The one thing i don`t like about the M17x is the shape of the top of the lid, if they had done it similar to this i would have ordered one by now



compared to this, i`m not over keen on the triangle top

 

... so the half inch raise in the middle is stopping you from buying a laptop?

................

 

I cope with the peak by telling myself that is where I shall impale the heads of my enemies.

 

I think the design of the new M17x is awesome. It looks stylish, professional and agressive. It's not too over the top which i like. Everyone has their own idea of what looks good but for me i think the new m17x looks dam good.

 

more bang for your buck LOL

 

lol - that's funny...

 

i really cant do it from this network, but it would be nice to pull as many 17" books' pics from the makers' sites and post em (as attachments) side by side for comparison...and then lets see who wins...

 

If it's just looks Dell Precision M6400 wins in my book.

The silver M17x has a similar appeal.

 

Actually the new M17x is the 2nd better looking notebook i ever seen from alienware (first still the m7700... But m7700 only wins in the lid ) and this is ALUMINUM man

 

bahaha, I like that

I personally like it...a lot; its unique


most laptops are too............square

 

Troll troll troll your boat gently down the stream.

 

LMAO

 

not very many people here like Bush nascar is ok and Jesus well just dont go there


i live in louisiana and i am on a cattle farm

 

It seem useroflaptops like Lenovo / IBM Laptops. If I wanted something that Mid range ok power and intergraded grapics they would be fine.

But I dont have room for a desktop so I like High end laptops.

 

I would have never expected this lol

 

with a name like MR.Moo

what did you expect? a HXC skateboarderz

 

LOL!
Meat or Dairy?
I love steak!
And AW does make awesome looking laptops, for example the new M17x.
That's as "sexy" as you can get

 

MEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

brama and Angus

you get good stuff
