How long does it run on battery? Can it play angry birds? What do i need this for? Who needs this? Where on this machine do i plug my espresso machine? My socks have holes in them will this machine help? I would rather have a machine that can do MORE instead of one that can do a little alot faster, now if it could darn a sock then wed be cooking dinosaurs! Im terribly sorry but this machine lacks innovation, brawn yes. sadly my days of brute force attacking wifi security is behind me. INNOVATION people, even nokia is now having trouble with its shareholders because of lack of innovation. So you put a v10 where there was once a 4cyl amazing! i cant give you money though cos it doesnt do anything i cant already accomplish. Maybe this is a rant but maybe its cos i need new socks more than this thing.</p> <span class="strong">MasterG</span> </li> <li> <p>Dell is crafting a machine that is ahead in quality and design .... truly today's best piece of gaming machine .... it may not be the perfect one .....as of now it's awesome .......</p> <span class="strong">Joel Saavedra</span> </li> <li> <p>Alienware M14x laptop have Two color option red and black.
