Aspire: X-Alien
Aspire returns in this case review with a "dubbed down" version of the X-Superalien that we reviewed previously .
Aspire continues to be one of the leaders in what is now becoming known as "case integration." This is a fancy description for companies who work with top level case manufacturers to take case concepts and modify and fine tune them for marketing. Aspire does have input on design and specifications of the cases, but in the X-Alien, it would appear to be an attempt to reconfigure the case to meet a price point. This isn't necessary bad, but you have to question if those who want this case might instead be better off choosing the X-Superalien. Let's find out!
