Dell to Buy Alienware?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-only-one-marketing-dept-will-ignore-my-emails dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Well, looks like rumors are flying, and Dell may have bought Alienware according to an article on cnet. It really would fit Dell well. They are the last big manufacturer not to use AMD, and this would fill that void. Acquiring this company would also help them grow their business to where they want it to be ($80 billion anually). One can only hope that Alienware support and hardware won't be ill effected by this acquisition."

    Not to mention that it should be hyphenated. Ill-affected.

    Alienware may make nice laptops but the things are just stupid looking. There has got to be nothing more embarrasing then sitting down at Borders and whipping out [lift with your knees - not you back] a bright green laptop with a glowing alien head on the lid. - Andrew

    I meta-moderate because I care.

    Ummm, last I checked US cars were all alike too and most don't even offer a manual transmission anymore!
