Woooo... Dell eats up more competition and will actually sell computers with AMD processors in it now!

My guess is that Dell will phase out their XPS line, and use Alienware exclusively as their high-end gaming machines.

I like Dell personally. I love my laptop I gor from them (the Inspiron 9300). Its a big mother though. But its good for me. I don\'t like small laptops as my primary computer. I like the big screen though :) The only downfall was trying to find a case for it. I could only find one backpack that fit its size (i wanted a backpack anyway) and it was expensive.

Dell DENIES buy-out rumor.

That\'s good, that Alienware doesn\'t sell out.  Then again, anyone who needs a high end computer should invest the time to learn to build one, and do it themselves... faster and cheaper.

OH yeah...

The Dell XPS systems come with an incredible amount of bloatware, and run like shit.  They have low build quality, non removable pre installed crap, and don\'t come with the Windows you paid for.  Never, ever buy a Dell.

Ugh, I hate Dell.  My girlfriend got a Dell laptop and has had nothing but trouble with it.  It came with a faulty screen and is just really poorly built.  And god is their customer support ever awful.

People either have Powerbooks or Dell laptops here at my school.  The Macs make the dells look and feel like clunky bricks.

I\'d be happy if Dell DIDN\'T nab Alienware, but it\'s looking inevitable.

Image sells, baby. Hence why I hate MTV with a passion. Image is everything in America. You could bowtie shit and it\'ll sell.
