It's a bit more than just a name, you know... Case construction, back lit keys, totl processors, HDDs, screen, everything, warranty, customer service, etc.

Again, I agree that it can be too much but it's much like you saying that a MV Augusta F4 is "just a name" and no "better" than your bike just because you can't or won't use it's full capabilities. Not too mention the considerable upgrades in suspension, engine, brakes, wheels, um everything!

No its not since there are other companies out there that use the same parts. I don't see agusta engines in kawasakis.

Hey that's a great point! I haven't seen this type of chassis on another laptop either... I do agree and have said the same thing, if you'll remember. I guess if you won't recognize that an Alienware laptop typically has higher grade components than most other brands, fine. BTW MV sources parts for their engines just like Kaw, Suz, etc and it is possible that the same company might supply your pistons and MV's BUT that doesn't make your bike "just as good".

I know what you are getting at, but personally, I wouldn't want to buy and tag along another piece of hardware (AND buy games for it) on top of my laptop when it can do the same thing.

True...I was thinking "instead of" not "in addition to"... Although, my PSP rides rather well in the side pocket of my laptop case. BTW you can download games onto the micro sd card. Personally, you might want a PSP Go.

Not an option for me; I need a laptop for my work.

I have the 1001 and the 3001 PSP and both have kept me from boredom more times than I can count.

I have angry birds. My "piece of fucking shit emachine" as tigger would says plays the half life 2 series well. I need to throw on jedi knight 2 and some other classics.
