Alienware has it wrong.

On the Alienware web in the Sentia section they have a "Comparisons" page in which they compare the Sentia to a Dell 700m. In the section that compares the hard drives they show dell as having a 7200rpm drive available for the 700m when in fact Dell does NOT offer a 7200rpm drive for the 700m, only a 4200rpm drive. This is a big performance advantage for the Sentia and you would think that a company that prides itself, no, stakes its reputation on having the highest performance products available that they would get this right. I have emailed their webmaster and support but they have not changed the site.

Here is the "Comparisons" page on the Alienware site:

And here is the Dell page that shows the drives available for their laptops:

Cool. It has been fixed.

You'd think I would at least get a "Thank You" reply to my emails to them. Or even better, rush my Sentia through production!

Curently Phase 5

I have been a bit more proactive and sent the following email to sales, webmaster, and support. I replied using the reply I got from support to my orginal one pointing out the error. It as also cc'd to sales and webmaster.

I see that Alienware has made the correction to the web site regarding the lack of 7200rpm drive for the dell 700m that I brought to Alienware's attention in my previous email. As you know there is a significant performance difference between a 4200rpm drive and a 7200rpm drive so this should sway a few people your way who are sitting on the fence between the two systems and help sell a few more Sentias.

I am sure that the Alienware staff is currently trying to come up with the appropriate gesture of thanks for my help in pointing out this mistake and consequently selling more Sentias, so once again I will help the Alienware Corporation out by suggesting the following gestures of gratitude:

1) Expedite my Sentia through the production phase (currently Phase 5)

2) Processor upgrade to 2.0Ghz

3) Alienware® Premium Messenger Case

I am of course open to any other suggestions the Alienware staffs deems appropriate, these were just ones that came to mind.

I look forward to your response.

What, can't you picture a committee of Alienware employees being setup to meet in a large conference room brainstorming ideas as the best way to reward me???
