Rumors of Dell swallowing alien confirmed

Darius Chang | Mar 15, 2006

Dell has agreed to purchase gaming PC maker Alienware, in a rare acquisition designed to improve Alienware's supply chain and boost Dell's standing among PC enthusiasts.

A Dell representative confirmed the deal, but said the company was deferring comment until later on Wednesday. A Dell representative in Australia had downplayed the possibility of a deal earlier this month. The transaction should be finalized about 30 to 45 days after regulatory hurdles are cleared, Gonzalez said.

This will a dream come true, if it really does happen in marketing gaming notebooks into Asia region. I myself am an avid fan of Alienware and have been waiting for years for them to market their notebook and PCs in Asia. Sadly to say that until this very day nothing is promising. As for Dell, again XPS notebook series were not being maket in Asia for unknown reason. The current high end notebook offer from the on-line which allows you to configure is pathetic and disappointing.Not to mention of having the intention to market the XPS series in Singapore. So even if this two titans joint forces, I doubt that they will ever market their gaming notebooks in this region. This is not the first time we gamers drooled over such news and got dissapointed in the end.
