All I can think is "Cadillac Escalade"...

I'd tap that. Wish I could afford one.

Seems like the touchpad is a little too far left though.

Ditto.. I didnt even notice that until you mentioned it, but wtf is up with that touchpad, seriously...

Does it only appear to be left of center because of the addition of a numberpad on the right?

Well, comparing the touch pad placement to my own, I would say that it is in fact only slightly to the left of where it should be, but not enough that its too far out of place. The touch pad is also larger than my own, so maybe thats why. I would have to say that its actually in the right place and that it only seems like its out of place or too far left because of the full qwerty keyboard and overall monstrous size of the laptop itself.

I also think that they didn't center it because any serious gamer who would be looking into this laptop, would more than likely be using a gaming mouse. So its good that there is a large area there to the right.

I wish they would stop using rocker switches for the mouse buttons though. Aesthetically, they're just kind of "meh" in my opinion, although they're supposed to work just as well as anything else.

too bad its alienware, otherwise it would be cooler

As if labeling a product with a different brand name makes it somehow cooler? I fail to see your logic.

I hope that someday people will stop trying to be "cool" and just appreciate products for what they are and not for who they're made by.

well the only issue i have with them is overpriced, but i'm not sure who else would sell that kind of laptop.

I agree. Not really a Cadillac Escalade, though. This is more like a Chrysler Town & Country with a Power Stroke turbodiesel (and maybe a couple neon lights on the bottom).

That glossy screen is pretty awful though. Look at all the glare.

turns out my post wasnt taken comically, so its been removed. If you give negative rep, why not say who its from. that way if an apology is necessary, it can be made.
