It's Tech and Help. Not Tech Help. It's all about the Grammer.
Or the spelling ...
This could be a landmark ruling. So you're saying that you think the Tech and Help forum should contain all topics of a technological nature, not just Tech Support threads? It's an interesting suggestion, but certainly not how I'd interepret the situation.
Wait, now you're confusing me again. What's that Frasier guy got to do with this?

We both would have seen this coming if we clicked into the thread in the Tech & Help forum.
So what basically is the motivation for Dell behind this? Try to improve their share of the gaming PC market? Boost their overall quality by adding Alienware's technological distinctiveness to their own? Eat a competitor?

Right, but I avoid the T&H forum for the same reason that I rarely enter the P&C forum: the discussions I believed were contained therein do not usually interest me. Tech News, however, I considered to be EE topics. If that changes ... my life will once more get far more complicated ... (cue: doom-y music)
So if I was looking for a place to buy a high-end gaming laptop, where should I go now? With Dell involved, my trust of Alienware goes way down. Maybe that's not fair, but it is how I feel.

Well they say that AW is going to operate as a separate company so you'll probably be OK in the near term as the years roll by though word of mouth will be the way to go as it always has been.
AW will benefit from Dell's distribution chain and AW 'says' it won't speed up the process it takes to build their machines. Dell does get some profit from some AMD sales but I'm thinking part of the reason they're keeping AW separate is so Intel doesn't bend them over.
My wife has a credit account with Dell. I wonder if it will be applicable towards AW purchases at some point in future...
Sounds like you just may be able to. From this article:
Dell can also lean in to make Alienware a more flexible company, allowing it to do more in areas such as financing with its massive amount of financial backing. "We can now do things we simply couldn't do before with our current volumes," said Vena, and this will certainly begin to make Alienware a more attractive offering to many. In the present order of things even Alienware can't afford to back the kind of financing of their ultra-expensive systems that Dell can. Now they have the best of both worlds.
Umm .... Cross Forum *cough*

You mean "Tech & Help" is about working computers as well as broken ones?
I wish you guys would stop encouraging him.

Yeah, I'm gonna call for a ruling on this. I think this thread is fine where it is. Judges?

Sweet. Maybe the Tech/Help Forum will get some definition as well as updates in Active Topics.
DELL for the Win. They gain access to the high end market they were digging into plus access to an active AMD product line.

Tech and Help is to discuss tech and get help, I'm moving the thread.

Do you ever walk alone like a drifter in the dark?
