AUSTIN, Texas — WidowPC, the industry’s leading gaming laptop boutique, announced today that they have photographic evidence of actual “Dell laptop customer-hostages” fleeing the Dell campus in Round Rock, Texas. “The customer exodus stems from a combination of Dell’s exploding laptop fiasco, WidowPC’s price point on their Sting 517D(TM) laptop (starting at roughly $100 lower than Dell’s XPS product) culminating in a subliminal feeling of being held hostage by Dell’s robotic phone staff,” said Jake M., an actual “Dell customer-hostage.”
Dell(R) recently faced massive recalls after photographs of exploding Dell laptops surfaced on the Internet. “WidowPC has never used exploding batteries in our laptops,” said Joshua McClure, chief executive at WidowPC. “Our complex statistical customer analysis has shown that customers don’t appreciate randomly exploding products especially when offered in combination with a lack of service and support.”
In addition to a notable lack of incendiary devices, WidowPC’s dual core Sting 517D(TM) gaming laptop also features Intel’s latest Core 2 Duo Merom CPU, an NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7950 GTX video card with 512MB DDR3 memory, a 17-inch Wide Screen 1920 x 1200 WUXGA SuperBrite LCD, DVD-RAM technology, up to 4 GB of high speed DDR2 memory, 200 GB of fast SATA hard drive storage, high speed wireless, Bluetooth, TV tuner, memory card slots, multimedia connections, $400 in free software, and lifetime tech support from real humans in America. Pricing starts at $2,195 – roughly $100 less than Dell’s XPS(TM) product.
