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.

A Republican Party that is FUNCTIONAL would be screaming front and center about the loss of freedoms associated with electing radical Leftists. This may not be a huge deal for many (it certainly isn’t a big deal for me) but it is just the tip of the iceberg compared to what’s coming.
Instead they’re too busy trying to figure out how to deal with their ‘Trump Problem’.
Just for reference Brookline features on 95% of its front lawns one of those "What We Believe" signs...and most have a "Black Lives Matter" sign for good measure.
Does this mean that individual states can regulate interstate commerce? Hot diggidy!
Seems rather simple to me. 👍😀
Restraint of interstate trade.
No other states are telling vendors, “No.” to these items.
No, they don’t have enough electricity.
But if they can cut your power off at any time with electric cars.
If you do something that offends our “masters” they will freeze your bank account turn off your utilities and impound your credit card until you are back in subjection.
THAT is what this is all about.
“Next they will regulate thermostat settings and oven temps”
In 2006 this was in effect in Italy. Heat was not allowed to be used until a certain date. I was there the first week of October and using heat was not allowed.
Glad I build my own gaming PCs.
That would be extremely difficult for a Hawaii resident. However, a Vermont resident is easy as a short drive can take him to three states not subject to the ban.
Sell it without one part, then sell that part separately.
Liberalism is about taking away your options.
Those enterprising people, have probably already found ways around it. 😀😜
What a great ad for the computers!
Yes, years ago.
Earlier this month I walked into a Charlotte, NC area Best Buy and bought a Dell branded gaming laptop. It's the same as an Alienware branded laptop only less expensive. It's a great computer.
Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Austria, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, take your pick and plan to escape.
Sounds like the electricity is reserved for the important people who need 150kVA to charge their cars, so the unimportant types wanting to use a gaming PC are SOL.
Dumb move by somebody. It’s not like Dell is the only choice out there. I don’t know what serious brand gamers prefer.
“In order to comply with California’s requirement, Alienware now offers a special version which adheres to the new regulations.”
my computer and my daughter’s both had overheating issues. Replacing the battery resolved both.
