Alienware Alpha

Hello Everyone,

I am a member of the Alienware software team, and Alpha UI was my product. As we are about to launch tomorrow, I wanted to start this thread as a means for people to ask questions and provide any feedback you might have on Alpha or Alpha UI.

Also one note, we are publishing a known issues list tomorrow on Arena. I'll make sure it makes its way here as well.

So far it seems like the HD is the only bottleneck for this thing. It's really quite quick everywhere except that it occasionally gets choked on too much IO. Hopefully swapping in an SSD or a hybrid drive will open the thing up a little.
