AW was just repackaging Clevos before dell bought them![]()

Thought it was the other 'we love your stickers all over our bodies' guys they were repackaging. Are they still in business, forgot who they were...
 - 
 They were still *very* impressive machines, and this comes from someone who's not a gamer, or an Alienware buff per se...

 Ill agree the HP elites are pretty darn nice, but the abuse I have put thinkpads and precisions through I dont know if the HP could hang. I have seen a few up close and personal but never really got any use out of them so take my opinion with a grain of salt....Plus Im a dell business/old thinkpad snob so that makes me just a hair bias.

Personally, I think precision and elitebook (what is a zbook? ) build is pretty close (actually ripping them apart) , both have some stupid service/assembling remark. but style wise, hp is ahead, precision chassis is petty easy to look "old", and look heavy and huge even though they are almost the same weight and size.
Though, I can't take hp consumer line looking more apple-ish every gen, where is the real envy? -

Well my m4400 and m4600 are tanks! I challenge any laptop to put up with the physical abuse they have gone through and still look and perform like new.

 If that's true of Dell then what of Mac? The lack of resistance to update that chassis doesn't seem to effect its sales.
Besides, a workstation doesn't have to look bland, but I'm much more concerned with structure and performance than glitz and glitter.
I'd prefer that when the change does come it reflects real performance (what Macs do best) and not mere cosmetics.Well it hasn't been a year yet with mine but so far I can attest to its ruggedness. - 
 
 You onow what I meant. Of normal laptops not mil-spec...

 I guess I didn't get my meaning across, "look old" as in it getting a ding /scratch and it just stay noticeable and stack on.

*sigh* At one point I had about 9 Panasonic Toughbooks just lying around in my house and it never came across my mind to even record videos of some extreme testing

Probably been stated but:
macbook
macbook pro retina
sony vaio svz
sony vaio duo
pretty much the only laptops worth getting. ;P - 
 
 Completely ignoring gamers and professionals, because nothing they do is worth anything, right?

I remember when I was like 12 or 13 the Dell XPS M1710 was the first laptop to make me go woah... laptops looked pretty *ty back then
 - 
 
 
I may be biased, I love the XPS 15... Its like a mac, but classier and actually useful.

I really love the look of the Latitude E6500. But then again, I really love this laptop.

 Kinda plain looking silver one? The pic posted didn't even show what brand?
 
The best looking notebook, period.
