I like the skullcap myself. It does make the AW standout!

The "Stealth Mode" on the m15x makes it very appealing.
Switching to integrated graphics for everyday tasks and 8800 for gaming.
Hmmm...

I sort of have the early version of 'Stealth Mode' Scott. My m5500 has both the integrated gpu for productivity and the go 6600(256mb) for light gaming. I like it myself.

I'm not sure that I really like the new look of the Alienwares. Given the skullcap is close to the old style, the new lights and the 'sleek' look of it doesn't look that great at all to me. I wish they would have kept the rubber areas. Man I was ready to order too. Guess i'll have to wait or go ahead and get a m55.

I think they are going to price this machine crazy. They configured a 17" to 5600.00 no way for me!
By the time they release theirs Sager will have one out where I can save some money.

I also like that idea. This can add a lot of extra battery life to the lappy. What I like is when they said that one 8800gtx card is the equivalent of two 7950gtx in SLI mode!!! that surely kicks the m9750!

"Unfortunately, Alienware announced today the release date will not be until during the first quarter of 2008, with no specific date set, so put away that credit card until after Christmas."

and wait and wait and wait...

This is definetly a major letdown.
I, like many others, were ready to put the money down on the barrel.

The more I see of both the Skullcap and the Ripley designs, the more that I like both of them. Hmm, decisions, decisions...

I heard it's coming Q1 2008. Is that true. Please come on Alienware. Stop teasing if it's not going to be any where near.

Yeah Scott, It's a letdown for all of those who were anxiously waiting. I don't like how all the hype was put up, and then Alienware is now making us wait longer this next year. It would have been nice to at least release it in December, in time for the holidays.
