Alienware laptop case redesign?

[granyte]

I never thought of that, but I do notice that the look of my M15x seems to be an unspoken invitation for people to walk over and touch it.

yup with the m17 they ask befor like if they are afraid that it would bite them and i like to maintain the myth lol

I don't remember where I read it. But the new machines might be full plastic( or carbon fiber) to reduce weight. Will have a look around later to find the source.

I highly doubt that. Carbon Fiber just cost too much. If they want to reduce weight, go back to magnesium covers and not the thick (although awesome) aluminum.

[Lozz]

There's no way (yet) to mass produce carbon-fiber. It's all still hand made.


ie.. there's 0 chance of it being applied in a mass production market like laptops.

The new AW design will have the screen positioned "slightly advanced" from the back of the chassis...just like the new XPS 15 & 17 notebooks that AW will rebranded off of.

AW doesn't really and never has rebranded other models within dell's line......this is not like nissan and infiniti here....lol

Carbon fiber isn't expensive, not as much as it once was. I know all to well since I deal with it all the time and replace it all the time, I fly RC models and they're blades, frame sides etc. are Carbon Fiber. Every time you crash you gotta replace it too. :P

I get the impression the 3Gigs VRAM listed in those specs are supposed to suggest dual GTX 460M or 470M with 1.5Gigs VRAM each.

Yes, I know it's not really 3Gigs total but this is Dell we're talking about.
