For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

Hell yeah. The 2003 Alienware Area 51M packed a Pentium IV, a 1200p grade 15 inch display (apparently with both widescreen and 4:3 configs as options), had both Nvidia and ATI GPU variants and traded punches on performance with contemporary desktop alternatives, albeit at a much higher price.

It also came in a rather snazzy lime green color as an option, just like the desktop area 51 from that year. It wasn't even the only alternative in that type of spec that year.
