If that is a snide remark towards mine, then here's a comeback.
An Alienware can be subtle as well, with the Ripley chassis. Getting the Skullcap chassis will definitely turn heads, and if you're that shy type and wants to slink into the background not wanting to attract attention to yourself, or the type that wants to appear business-like, but still project an outlook f someone who appreciates portable computing power, then Alienware with the Ripley chassis is just that. There are lots of technical-related professionals who arm themselves with an Alienware when it is their turn to do their presentations, especially to those relying on CAD drawings or number-crunching applications. That is why Alienware even offers the option of the Nvidia Quadro FX 3600M, specifically for that. And these professionals at some point, do think like you, wanting to avoid unnecessary attention, yet needing considerable processing power with them in portable form all the time.
Turn off the all the AlienFX lighting and guess what? It is as zero bling as your dull Sager. Saves on battery life too. And what's that? BinaryGFX even extends that with using the IGP and processor downclocks for your "presentation infront of the class" moments so that you don't blast those listening on your presentation with hot air from your spinning fan ventings. If you're worried about other people's expectations then you have self-esteem issues. After all, you bought your Sager with that config, and you want it to hide under a plain-jane enclosure? Might as well wrap it in painted tupperware then.
To each his own. Want to be dull and regular like others? Be my guest, but fitting in an out-of-this-world specced components into a dull case, is like fitting in an Evo engine into a nondescript Wira. We all know what we call that around here.
Personally, I see it as a damn shame to have no one know that your notebook innards is filled with premium specs when you wrap it with a cookie-cutter case. You wouldnt want a crumbling facade of a house but filled it with leather Italian furnishing and tiled walls and floorings, would you?
I can accept the reasoning of Alienware being a premium (read: priced beyond reach of normal audience) purchase and I'll agree on that fact with you. But once you start harping on the Alienware being too much of an expectation-raiser, then you get others perceiving that it does only that and nothing else. If you had left it at the issue of it being a price factor, I would not have felt compelled to comment at length like this.
if it was meant that way I would have posted in ur thread
to verbigerate yourself,
to each his ownThis laptop fits my needs ideally, so why should I buy a bling filled laptop only to turn off those features? You can add LED keyboards, and custom laser etching (not limited to your name
) into the Sager. I was really impressed with the level of customizability when they allowed the buyer to choose the type of thermal paste and the option of not buying an o/s .
unlike other manufacturersBinaryGFX? I dont see how it's worth mentioning since Sager, Apple and Sony all have tweaks that do the same thing
Was it incorrect to say that Alienware raises expectations? I would expect a guy driving a ferrari (ooppps... that's acer
) to go further than some who's driving a "nondescript wira". Besides if the m15x was all that high and mighty my words would count for nothing.
I don't see Alineware as a premium brand. I see it as an extravagance. Premium things retain their value and I fully doubt either of our laptops will be worth much in 2 years
Anyways, this was meant to be a review thread and to introduce this nice little brand to anyone who drops by or has questions
