Not sure why that's happening, the only thing I could think of is cpu/bus throtling or hard drive throtling (never heard of it, but u never know). Ask PCTorque.
As for warranty, from what I've heard the Alienwares is not that great. I have friends who have tried to get better warranties by going with Hypersonis/Alienware etc. and received the same service (if not worse) that other companies offer.
Forgive me for the 51m mistake, Alienware is not exactly the focus of my comp research. But the new 51m is unmistakable a Clevo. The old 51m is still overpriced, and regardless of whether they advertise upgradable graphics, that was one...
From my experience, tech support experiences are mostly dependant upon the users knowledge. For example, I hate Dells tech support because I know how easy it is to fix things that they give me a hard time about, yet other people like it....
Buy a Sager. For the most part alienwares are just overpriced Sagers with a body kit on them. Their new model 7770 or whatever it is, is unmistakably a Sagar 9860, or rather the Clevo model it is based off of. The only real difference is...
I have an nc6000 and I'm not having that problem either. Convince them somthing is wrong (break... I mean fix, the fan), and have them fix it. My is only semi loud when playing games (but it is also only 1.4 GHz). Do you have a 2.0 Ghz...
Dude, you should think about wht you're saying before you basically tell everyone that they are wrong and you are right. 64 bit may be the wave of the future, but when it is finally released, you won't be running it on the 4750 unless...
PCTorque from my observation is a very good value. I wanted to buy from them, but I needed a more portable computer so I bought a nc6000. I don't think you can go wrong with PCTorque. Also, you have a better chance of getting service...
Nc6000 is really good for games and traveling. While not quite as fast as heavier computers, it is virtually unsurpasable except for the Sony S series which is a 13 inch WXGA.
Anyone get a $5000 coupon? I only got $30 and it really pissed me off though i didn't expect more. If anyone has one and is stupid enough (or just nice enough ) to give me one, please PM me and help out a poor student .
