Yup, looks like a nice machine.  Anyone have any recent experience with Dell
and/or Alienware after the Dell merger?  I know that Dell from ~2-3 years
ago weren't great, but I would hope that Alienware hasn't gone downhill
since their merger.  I'd like to get another 4-5 years out of this next
laptop, but my co-workers experiences with Dells made in the past few years
haven't made me feel too comfortable...
