    Again, this is old news. There's articles, reviews, and news about this that's been posted for months now..

    May I ask why you posted this in the "AW" section?

    Wasn't paying attention to what forum i was in when i posted. I have been in this section alot because i just purchased a new alienware laptop. After i posted i noticed and didnt know how to delete, then someone responded so i posted again. It can moved to the general area if need be or even deleted because most of it was old news. For some reason when i searched i didnt find anything- must have had some restriction on or used the wrong key words.

    It may be ugly, but not everybody can afford the sexiness (as much as I LOVE the looks of it) of the m17. This is why I developed the habit of admiring the guts, and not the chassis. I personally think its ridiculous that you can have 2 beasts that can contain identical guts, but one is 500-1000 more than the other because of its good looks. I'm not triggering a debate, I'm just stating that it's bittersweet that the market is courteous enough to let you sacrifice a notebooks looks for the same performance, especially for those individuals on a fixed budget.

    (I personally don't think it looks THAT bad, though).
