I was talking to my friend about getting a laptop awhile ago, and wanted an ultraportable laptop that had a decent amount of power. I was tipped on a Dell sale, where I got the Alienware M11x. After thinking about it, it's almost hard to tell people what laptop I own, because I'll be seen as 'that guy'. So I wanted to know if anyone else had a dumb electronic they got not because of what it is, but because it's actually a good product with a odd reputation.  Also, another good example is the old Zunes

I own a Zen Creative MP3 player, which I guess it automatically strange because it's not an iPod. I also still carry around a pre-paid cell phone. I think that's the extreme of it, though I was also the first of my friends to buy an HDTV for their own room.

Question really is, what thing do you own that in your opinion is kind of stupid, but you like it anyway for not the reason people expect you to. Like I enjoy my alienware, not because Im a HARDCORE 2 DA MAX PC GAMER 4 LIFE, but I like that its well built, and I have the option to game on the go.

Apparently an iPod makes you a hipster douche or some bull like that.

iPhone 4...  i used to hate people who pulled them out in public and people that showed them off, actually i still do.  i remember seeing a fat guy lounging on the corner seat of the bus (thats the best and most comfortable seats on the busses i take) and he has an iPad out.  it first came out a week ago and god he was showing that shit off like crazy.  i remember he had a look on his face that he was the shit and he was exaggerating his "scrolling" movements.  i just wanted to snap that thing

I dunno. As long as it doesn't crash constantly, force you to either pay ridiculous money for limited customization or crack it for unlimited, lose contact with the damn SIM card weekly, I'll probably try it.

I had a friend who bought an iPhone "because you look cool with it."

Really? iPhones are an option? If you feel like a douche for having one then why own one? People tend to pull a phone out to, oh I don't know, use it. Most of the people who think others are douches for pulling out an iPhone usually don't or can't have one.

I always think they're worth the money, but something always goes wrong right away that you have to live with. My first one would get dust behind the screen, the second lost it's built in speaker after an hour, but I would never use that anyways.

Hmm... I don't have a lot of stuff outside of my PC/consoles/games/the clothes on my back, but I guess a lot of people think having an mp3 player is dumb now a days, but I have no desire to ever buy a phone so I still need one. I bought one a few months back during some newegg.ca sale so I had something to listen to stuff on while I go for a walk. Since I got an ear infection a few months back that won't go away I mostly just use it to listen to the bombcast while I'm laying in bed Tuesday night instead of needing to leave my computer on to listen to it.

Other then that I can't think of anything. I have a lot of JRPG's and it's always cool to hate them now a days so I guess some would think that. And I got this DVD of some anime I never heard of from winning a contest on Anime Vice years ago when that site still existed.

Is it cool to hate Halo now? I still have the master chief helmet that came with the legendary edition sitting on my shelf because I always liked the way the helmet looked. Not really a fan of Halo outside of the books, but I like the look of it so I kept it on the shelf.

Other then that the only other thing I have are my Star Wars novels and a Dragon Age lithograph framed and mounted on my wall.

lol wow, I definitely research before buying something connected to a contract, not to look 'cool' lol. I am seriously considering an HD7, I can't bare this fragmentation on Android, it seems once one new phone comes out, every android developer phone company moves to that, and forgets to support anything older. I think Microsoft is a good supplier to go with right now, they may not have good support just yet, but they sure learned to step it up after this latest update got delayed to the point of embarasment. It seems it ok with Tmobile to say a OS update is coming, then tell you, oh wait, it wont be coming to your device,

When I think douchey electronics I think about my cousin who seems to spend hundreds of bucks a month on his car sound system. I really don't find most popular gadgets all that douchey.

My cousin still rocks a soul patch and killer sideburns, btw.

Maybe, but I think it's effective in this topic. I also learned today that you look like an idiot if you own an iPhone.

mine locked up all the time after about 1-2 months of owning it and taking good care of it. it would lock up and i wouldn't be able to reset it until the battery died. 

there was this one time where i went on vacation for two weeks and my Zen locked up while i was on the plane. when i got to a place with power, it wouldn't turn off until the battery died, and it never recharged itself for the duration of the trip. it made the two weeks there kind of suck a bit more than it should have.

Bluetooth headset. I feel like such an asshole when I wear one. I've only had to wear one a few times for work though. but usually I'm so self conscious I have it in my pocket until I absolutely need it.

That's actually what forced me to buy a newer model -_-. I could reset mine most of the time, but I had to do it so often, that I just gave up on it.

Alienware really is the worst thing ever. It was never not embarrassing to see the people who had them in high school, breaking them out at any opportunity to play some Crysis or some shit like that.

I love my m11x r2 light weight holds a good charge for when in class. Also where the hell do you live to where people in high school have alienwares? I am one year into college and I have seen 1 outside of mine. Personally I love Alienware I've had npothing but good experiances with mine. Yes you pay a high cost but, some of us don't wont to build and hearing all my friends complaining about there toshibas and HPs I feel like it was the right choice.

I just got an Alienware M11x r1 and I agree, the battery is amazing in save power mode. I got it for college, I needed a machine that could do photoshop fairly well, and in the price range, alienware is the best. Also, I am too wondering how many high school kids own a gaming laptop, unless this handsome dead lives in Orange county or something. The reason why people buy alienwares is because, yes, you can build a home PC, but a laptop is so much harder and more expensive, so Alienware offers the best built gaming laptops Ive seen.

I think that's more Nintendo's fault on the release date, and less the product itself, but yes, completely agree. It came out, and a week later I thought, wow, if I'm not caring or playing it A WEEK after coming out, Nintendo did something wrong with the release schedule.

Just waiting for the damn thing to completely die so that I can get something else. They finally figured out how to make them reliable, so I guess I'm stuck with it for a while longer.

Does a surround sound system that is greater than my means count?

I also own all three major systems this generation.  I find that kind of douchey.  But it's also really cool.
