It's Official Dell Acquired Alienware

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the you're-going-to-love-the-new-alien-kid dept.

robyn217 writes "Dell just confirmed today that it had acquired boutique PC vendor Alienware. Alienware's Nelson Gonzalez said that his company will continue on with its own brand, design, sales and marketing, and support, though, so Alienware isn't going anywhere just yet. Gonzalez also said that Alienware PCs would not carry a Dell logo, and that he would report directly to Jim Schneider, Dell's chief financial officer. "I think that you'll find it very hard to find the Dell name on the [Alienware] web site," he said." The rumor is now fact.

    I wouldn't really trust Honda to build my Ferrari...

    Did you RTFA? The analogy is more like Honda buying the Ferrari company and allowing them to continue building the same cars.

    Actually, Saturn was started by GM, it wasn't acquired. For those of us who have gone through mergers and aquisitions of our companies, there is a difference.
