I think we maybe don't have enough info on the new Alienware Area 51 ATX standard that you suggest needs a new harness to mount a 3rd party motherboard in. Is there an explanation somewhere?

As fun as the dual screen 9i is, and not that I wouldn't want one if I was getting it for free, i don't understand who it's for. because an ipad is cheaper and better at pretty much everything, except having two screens, because it only has one. villenovo doesn't have very good battery life.It doesn't have very much pressure sensitivity in the stylus, it doesn't have a fast enough processor to use any program where you'd want to use a stylist for art anyway....

I just don't see who the market is like. Lenovo has this problem where they keep making stuff that looks really cool.But it's not like specific enough to be really good in a niche, and it's not general enough to be good for everyone. either it needs to have the battery life that makes it.So nobody really cares if it's made specifically for their purposes, or it needs to be super good at one thing in particular.

"I too want to enjoy gaming on the boardwalk with my handheld so large it seems like it was photoshopped."

And look at the large fan and cooling slots. So it also doubles as a portable space heater.
