You picked all the options available, and a shirt! :-)

Nice...

I will post follow up reviews at: Slacker.NET

Within 5 minutes of posting my original review on January 1st, I received a call from my brother to let me know that the doctors were working to resuscitate his son after a massive heart attack. Then another call 10 minutes later to let me know Jacob passed away. Except for HTML changes, I have not added much to my review. I will when I get the chance, but for now I will leave it alone.

Feel free to ask questions or request pictures of a different angle than what I currently have.

I recommend the Area-51:Sentia for those who are on the go and require wireless and long battery life. It will also perform flawlessly with the games that I have tested. (Half-Life/CounterStrike, Quake III, Unreal, Call Of Duty) These games should be a good measure of what the Sentia's capabilities. Office apps such as MS Office, Photoshop, Macromedia, load quickly and does not hesitate at any point of use.

My dad is considering the Sentia for himself when the need for a laptop comes. For now he waits for a deal to come together that will send him out of the country for 1/3 of the year each year on a project.

What phase are you currently in?

Booga,

I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family at this time of difficulty.

Booga,

I am so sorry for your loss...

Thanks for the additional information.
I went from phase 8 to 14 in less than a week.

As the Alienware website claims my computer was shipped 30 days from payment.
I am confident I got the right computer.
Your insights have been very helpful.
I especially enjoyed the pics on your site.

Thanks for taking the time to respond during such a hard time.

I find myself in tears about once a day as I watch my girls and I am reminded of their cousin.

It's tough to see my brother going through this. Many family members have reported dreaming of Jacob and my brother wishes so much to have the same dreams. I guess as a way to be with him even for just a few minutes. My prayers, and wishes these days is for him to have this dream with Jacob in it.

Through 2 surgeries, medication, and recovery he smiled through it all while putting a good fight.

Booga,

Please be comforted knowing that more people than you realize are praying for you and your family during this tough time. I hope your brother has that dream.

Been following the Sentia threads for awhile. Thanks for all the input.
