Dell's Gaming Monster

Posted by michael on from the luggables dept.

Carpoolio writes "TechTV has a good first look at the new Dell Inspiron XPS -- the company's first foray into portable gaming systems. The notebook -- a beast at 9 pounds -- puts the company squarely against the likes of Alienware. The price tag is steep, too, at $3,350. Are you buying?"

    That's gotta sting you mac lovers! The powerbook is a sweet looking machine, but as far as bang for you buck goes... Your PC dollar will go much farther.

    Hello everyone, I am a 40-year old gay black man who has been touring with
    the *GREAT* 8) Justing "His HOtness" Timberlake as his part-time keyboardist
    and backup dancer. Just last weekend we had done a show Minneapolis and it
    had lasted a little longer than usual (the crowd just couldn't get e'nuff of
    Justin -- Can you blame them????) and we were all sitting around the
    dressing room after the show, exhausted but still basking in the glow of
    another great performance! ... Well, everyone was kinda loose and just
    foolin' around, cracking jokes, you know, having a good time. Well, Justin
    got up and just started doing an impromptu rendition of "Rock your Body",
    all hot and sexy (such IntENsiTY!!). And, I just couldn't help myself, I
    jumped up there (okay, we had been drinking cosmos and long islands, but
    anyways) and started dancing with him!! And he was laughing and turned
    around and grinded with me, and I said, "oh Justin, I can feel your
    package!". .... And he got all pissed and called me a faggy!!

    OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG the great Justin Timberlake called me a faggy!! OMG OMG
    OMG OMG OMG

    A computer would be better off being built. (And this is slashdot, so it's very common for this to happen anyway.) But those who suggest Fry's make me shudder. I'll probably get -1: Flamebait, but I really don't like them. They gave me bad service. I only order through Directron.com. Never had a problem with them, and their prices are lower. Much lower.

    ...and all three people that this machine is targetted at will run out and buy it immediately! Please, WHAT target market? I hope they manage to at least empty out the spare bedroom in Michael Dell's house when they cancel the line's manufacture.
