Default Dell axes XPS, relies on Alienware

DailyTech - Dell Axes XPS Line in Favor of Alienware Gaming PCs

Dell has announced it is dropping its XPS line of systems in favor of the higher end and oft-times overclocked Alienware systems. By concentrating its efforts on the alienware systems, people can expect to pay at least $500 more for the exact same system but with the pretty "alien" exterior.







Thanks HL and Corsair!

I dunno, I'd still take a dell tablet over the gateway my school is forcing me to use (1 more semester... ugh.)

This gateway tablet really is junk. I swear it's ready to just fall apart.

No big loss to me either. I don't have/want anything to do with Dell. Besides it costs less to build myself.(And no bloatware!)
