    Any Falcon owners here since this is the Clevo area? Been looking into Falcon laptops and would like to hear about owners experiences.

    For some people, its all about the looks, for others its all about the performance. Then there are a few people who are all about how much money it cost...that is where Falcon (and Voodoo, though they seem to have stopped reselling Clevos) comes in. Alienware used to be like too but since Dell purchased them, thier markup is not as bad as it used to be.

    Heck, I am one of the fortunate few who has money to burn, which is why I am about to buy a maxed out x7200, but to buy one from Falcon means paying an extra $2000, only difference is Falcon gives me a paint job. Not to mention they better give some darn good customer support too!

    Now please to not take this the wrong way, its all about individual tastes. Some like bright and flashy, some like more power, some want it all.

    I have yet to hear anything bad about Falcon, at least not these forums, though I have not searched for it either.

    Yes, plus, its just a paint-job, the cases are exactly the same, so don't expect something like an Alienware by Clevo. Honestly, I don't think there is any reason to purchase a Falcon over some other Clevo OEM other than to expect incredible customer service.
