The thick body,old keyboard lay out,very old design(current design is basically same for almost 4-5 years) of the Alienware laptops are really old in the era of ultrabooks. Alienware laptops need-

  • drastic design change to make AW laptops more thinner within the limit of good cooling
  • Switching to Aluminium,carbon fibre for the body to make it more lighter and robust
  • new keyboard lay out
  • Better displays with reduced glare

    you should take a look at the razer blade. it's only 0.88 inches thick with a 2 gb nvidia 660m and weighs only 6.6 pounds. problem is since it's a 17 inch laptop, its not very portable. also, it costs $2,500. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD MAKE A 14 INCH GAMING LAPTOP UNDER AN INCH THICK AND WEIGHS LESS THAN 5 POUNDS ALREADY!!! anyone know any?

    There are plenty of laptops out there that are under an inch thick but aren't exlusively for gaming. You can't get much power without the proper cooling which requires a bit of space and is the reason why gaming laptops have to be thicker than your average laptop. Until technology is publically released that can support these demands, we won't be seeing ultrabook Alienware laptops.

    You should probably be more specific about what you mean by a new keyboard layout.

    Agree on the matte display.

    I dint think it needs to be ultrabook thin, just under an inch. Laptops more than an inch thick, and this is just a personal preference, are not worth buying. I was thinking of a change in design as well (go to my ideas). Lets try and get alienware to change something.

    Also, removal of the optical drive. And I wonder if their waiting for the Intel Haswell before they think about making any changes...

    I don't know about a "complete design change" but certainly a significant update to the design is probably needed to get people to pay attention to Alienware again. They have a good reputation for being beastly gaming rigs, but if you could somehow convince people that they're much sleeker and lighter after updating the design, I think you'd get peoples attention back from all the tablets out there.

    I agree! I would love a ultrabook alienware that is nice and thin with sexy design, but still pack a performance. (Meaning it MUST be equiped with dedicated graphics.)
