You could buy a Car with an Alienware laptop!

For those who have no idea what the heck is Alienware, it's a company that sells gaming desktop and laptop. If you got the money, you can configure a LAPTOP that have 2 graphics card inside, provided you can pay for it. Anyway, Alienware is under Dell, which we all familiar with their brochures hogging our newspaper, and they have come to our shore recently.

Wanting to pass my time, I decided to check out their site on the new Alienware M17x. The base price is RM8.5k, compared to my measly RM1.5k laptop. Playing with the custumizing option, I created the most powerful(and expensive) version of M17x, which costs RM 26,673! You can buy a new Kancil car or a second-hand Proton Waja with it!

I kid you not! It's really true! If you wipe you butt with $$ notes, I guess RM27k for a laptop doesn't seem much. I can get 17 laptop the same as mine and still got $$ to drink some teh tarik. I'm just wondering if there's will ever be somebody paying RM27k for a laptop?
