I don't know if y'all remember me kvetching about Apple's yawnworthy trend in desktop industrial design lately, but if you do, then you'll understand why I got chills when I saw the new cases from Alienware. Not only are the desktop cases certifiably cool, but the laptops are swanky too. Note the chameleon color option – an irridescent laptop. Wow. Add to that the ability to tote around two batteries (a feature I've lamented ever since I made the jump from Kerouac, my PowerBook G3/400 "Lombard", to Gandalf, my PowerBook G4/667). This has me seriously considering buying a new machine sometime later this summer. Mmmm. Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne on an Alienware Area 51 laptop. Mmmm.
