    This thread kinda like a cross-posting, not sure if it is but here is the original one: Alienware Response To Blade

    And the forum rule Here

    But honestly I though Alienware is overpriced but this, this is even more overpriced than Alienware, yet the spec is the same as my M14x (except for CPU, Size and Screen), in term of performance I think my M14x (or most of us here) would pwned that Blade real time lol, and Believe me 17" is NOT portable. Plus for that kind of pricetag I could get the M17x with 2 - 4 times more powerful than the Blade. For the LCD keypad, I dont think nowadays game or any that going to release in the next 2 year will support it, so it will be useless and I have only 2 hand, one on the WASD and another on the Mouse (For Shooter only) so I dont think I would even look at it or touch in game either.

    But the design I'd say it is look very similar to MBP but just polish in black. So it is not worth it. And isnt Alienware is World First Gaming Laptop manufacturer for more than 10 years already? I cant understand why they claim it is World First with ultraportable (Yeah they think 17" is Ultra Portable, ROFL)
