Dan Zhang, over at LaptopLogic.com, has written an interesting and thought-provoking article, Why Dell Laptops Are the Best for Enthusiast Users:
When people think of enthusiast laptop companies, Alienware and Voodoo usually come to mind first. Can you imagine their surprise when I tell them that Dell is actually the best enthusiast laptop company? It is definitely understandable. Dell targets the mainstream audience while Alienware and Voodoo present themselves as an enthusiast-oriented vendor. In reality, however, they don’t even come close to Dell.
While it’s not exactly about ultraportable laptops (which all three companies produce), it’s interesting nonetheless.
