59 Million Americans Prohibited From Buying High-End Dell Gaming PCs
Understanding Politics ^ | 07/27/21

Posted on 07/27/2021 2:59:52 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Aproximately 59 million Americans spanning five states can't buy Dell's high-end Alienware brand desktop PCs "due to power consumption regulations."

When one goes to the Dell Alienware online configurator to buy an Aurora R12 gaming desktop, a special notice appears which reads:

This product cannot be shipped to the states of California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont or Washington due to power consumption regulations adopted by those states. Any orders placed that are bound for those states will be canceled.

No bitcoin mining for you!

Next they will regulate thermostat settings and oven temps.

Gosh! Are any of those states pushing electric vehicles? Do they have enough electricity?

My PC gets hot every time Microsoft does an upgrade.

CNN webpages have caused my computer to shut down due to overheating. Many newspaper webpages will cause my PC to get hot.

Dear California electricity customer:

Your water heater will be allowed to function one day of the week, if the governor authorizes it. If the last two digits of your account number are between 0 and 14 inclusive, you will have hot water heating electrical service on Sunday between....

Maybe they can still order the power-hungry parts seperately and install them?

Like a Ryzen 9 cpu and a hot graphics card...

Just wait until EVs become 5% of the cars on the road in those states.

Stupid Dell, just offer it with a stand-alone generator for powering the PC. Make it a bundle deal with Generac or another generator company. Make it with a non-standard plug to get around the state requirements! GOAL!

Can't speak for the other states but I travel Vermont pretty frequently and while driving I-91 (which goes from the Massachusetts border to the Quebec border) there are two thing that strike me:

One: all the wind farms you see.

Two: all the huge logging truck,chock full of logs,you see heading south...all with Quebec plates.

I must admit that the wind farms are rather pretty pretty...but it would appear that they don't meet the needs of the state.
