Alienware M17X10: A Close Encounter
Bron: Inside HW EN→NL Archive.org version
This is a product with a very specific market niche, no doubt about that. The majority of people would hate its tacky keyboard, large dimensions, chubby looks and weight, but this is hardly the idea behind this model anyway. Notebooks such as these are made for the lucky few that will be able to appreciate every detail on it, and make the best of the hardware that they’re packing. It’s for these reasons that the final price of Alienware models amounts to more than just the sum of its parts, but that’s the case with all their other aspects as well, which manages to keep the price in the background. Those that opt for Alienware notebooks are passionate gamers that want more than a mere gaming machine and are ready to pay for that. Simply put, these are “aliens” that look for unique characteristics in a PC and are willing to spend hours in seemingly pointless activities such as creating profiles and setting all those separate colour and brightness levels for the keyboard and the surrounding elements, even if most of those remains unused. They will proudly wear the Alienware cap and stick the Alienware sticker onto the door of their rooms, while the presence of such a PC will infuse them with joy every day, just for the ability to uncompromisingly delve into what these users enjoy the most - gaming.
