Not suRe if I just can't find a buy button, but this ones nice.

Here's that laptop on Amazon, seems pretty nice, but I'm not a huge expert on laptops.


I also hear Sagers are nice, and you can customize them to your liking


Ah, Chip, see we chose the same laptop.

This is also the same laptop but a better HDD.

And a light up keyboard.

That's still around the same price as the Alienware laptop. Dishing out the few extra hundred totally seems worth it for a more aesthetically appealing look.

Alienwares are -blam!- though.

But, why come here if you already knew you wanted an Alienware.

NO, NORBERG!!!!


DON'T DO IT

I've seen computers sold there for $1,400 that are worth $700. And they're really crappy.

Please don't.

Very much this.

ASUS is great and sells great products.

I've got an ASUS K52. It's nothing special, but I know for a fact that this is not a gaming laptop at all. So I'm very familiar with their customer service.

Only thing Alienware has is pretty lights and knick knacks that don't do -blam!-. I'm not a raven drawn in by the sparkle or a shine.

So, if they don't do -blam!-, why pay the extra hundred? Seems like a complete waste of money, which could be spent on an even better laptop.

That's how Alienware gets you. They draw you in with flashy lights and designs that the competition doesn't have.

Anyhoo, I have an Asus G53SX-NH71. A great reliable laptop. $1200.

Aw. That's a shame. I already have a great custom desktop, but I bought the laptop so I could play some light games on the go. A bit of From Dust and Amnesia between classes and during car rides.

You shouldn't make assumptions about Alienware, they're not as overpriced as you think they are.

Unless you're buying a x51, which is the most horrible thing you can do.

I want to be able to run WoW @ 40-50 fps during 25 man raids with high graphic quality on a laptop cuz I'm mobile. Suggestions?


You can probably do it with that price on max settings, and you'll be able to play pretty much all source games on steam.

From the prices I've compared from them it sure as hell seems that way.

But they're owned by Dell, and Dell has pretty much been -blam!- lately.

I wasn't talking about Alienware in that post, I was just talking about his budget.

But if you want a response:

Alienware aren't administrated by Dell though. They just use Dell's surplus parts, they do get a wicked profit though, and people still buy them.

Either way, you can do a lot better than Alienware for sure, unless you really need the ricer case, then Alienware is for you.

I'd want a case that screams torque and balls. Anybody know of such a thing?
