    I always thought the w90 looks very sexy, next to the vx5. I'm aware of all the massive heating problems w90 has and is discontinued. Well its been a while now, so is there anything new that have the looks of the w90 or vx5 (any brand)? Its got to be high-end. I'm also aware of the new g73, But too bad it looks like the fisher-price toy laptop. :p

    Even of the laptop is currently developed and isn't even out yet is worth mentioning.

    Also the overprice alienware leaf blower is ruled out.

    There isn't a successor to the W90. The closest notebook that would be a spiritual successor would be the Clevo/Sager X8100.

    Not sure about the W90 heat problems, in fact it's got a great cooling system.

    The Alienware M17x has a "wow" factor once you feel how good the build quality is. If you're not into the flashy lights they can be turned off or just turned on as white for the keyboard.
