Alienware "AllPowerful" GTX 280M SLI & 9400M G1

IMO anything more then $850 for the 280M SLi would be ridiculous and would hold me back from buying.

 

to purchase the card from a reseller out right was 490


granted AW can get them cheaper i would say the upgrade will be right around there or alittle more

 

people have different tastes, some people like me have no love for consumer orientated notebooks.

 

it's basicly a super glossy piece of plastic covering your screen and screen bezel. i suppose it would be easier to clean than a normal screen, but other than that, i can't see no more advantages of this vs a normal glossy screen.

 

i'm all about havin the exclusives. from my cars and clothes to my electronics. i don't mind spendin the premium for any of it. i love things that perform at top notch levels, AND has looks to match it. i'm anti-mainstream.

i really love how sony's edge to edge display tv's look and it's the same with the new AW laptop.

 

i thought i was anti-mainstream with my all black computers and gadgets and all plain wardrobe.

 

You say you're all about anti-mainstream, yet you have a Dell XPS M1530? How does that work?

 

We're all different just life everyone else.

 

so the mainstream wants high performance, ugly things? or low performance beautiful things?

that makes no sense. everyone wants power and beauty in one package....at least i think they would..

 

i have no idea what u'r tryin to say. yes, everyone wants power and looks in 1 package. if u compare the current laptops of today to 5, or even a few years ago, u'd notice that every manufacturer focuses on looks now. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. some like plain, some like insane. i happen to fall somewhere in between the 2, and the market has somethin for that as well.

@ the other 2 that quoted me: maybe mainstream wasn't the correct word to use, but i am all about the finer things. i just prefer to have things that not everyone has, and i'm willin to pay the premium for it. i am a big dell customer. i've had pretty much all of their 17" xps laptops since the xps line first came out (some models i had multiple units), so i chose to stay with a brand that has been nothing but great to me. i was lookin for something portable, something that looked good, that i could game on, and the m1530 just fit that bill to the T. i didn't need a crazy system or somethin higher-end anymore. even better was that it was a dell laptop cuz they have never failed me. hope that clears it up a little bit.

back on topic: have u guys seen the optional wiiiiiiide screen monitor that they're offerin as an accessory to this AW laptop? that thing is just gorgeous. i can't wait for them to release some prices and do some testing.
