This is not my auction, so don't banned me. It's the official alienware. They even have it on their site.

[cursor]

What a fireball. Sit that thing on your lap and it'll singe your netherhair! :eek: 800 mhz fsb in a laptop?! I guess they have to have the metal case for the thing because a standard plastic one would melt off...?

You know, you've got some problems with reality if you sign your name and add to the end of it, "CEO." I mean, it's not like the CEO of Alienware is anybody's hero or something. Friggin' egomaniacs.

[wannaoc]

Those "laptops" are such a joke, they last like 30 minutes on battery power. A laptop is for moving around, why buy one to "replace a desktop" when a desktop is cheaper and faster. Plus you can't even use that one at all or lose why you paid for it.

[mattspalace]

Honestly, If I was just an everyday user, I'd probably buy one of those and use it for a desktop simply because it takes up such little room, and I could carry it around anywhere in the house with wireless.. That's probably their selling point. To most people, this is probably a nice rig, and honestly how long are people really on battery power..

I sure wouldn't pay 6 grand for a laptop though, especially just because some dork signed it.. It might be different if it came with a supermodel or something though.. LOL!!

[Subaru]

And the thing is, I think that the autograph can be wipe out with water! So, what's the point of getting his autograph for? Also, when the thing get hot, the ink gets vaporize.

[deez]

You can buy a comparable system from voodoopc for about $2,000 less http://www.voodoopc.com/systems/advanced.aspx?t=1&p=190

Still way too expensive for me though

[anvil82]

Not exactly a Cyber deal :eek:

[Onizuka]

$6,000 for a laptop...hmmmm thats crazy lol.

[NiTrO bOiE]

the autograph makes up for it:rolleyes:

[Mr.Guvernment]

LOL

i bet u people FROM alienware keep biding on it to get the price up.


Anyone who pays that much for a latop needs their head looked into!

[AdvanS13]

thats what i was thinking too...you notice some are brand new members :rolleyes:

[SinsFeelNatural]

true. I agree that it seems someone is bumping up the price because you can prob special build the same system on their site for 1/3 the price. Who knows care about the CEO/Co-Founder or heard of his name.
