No, not alienware. Ripoff extreme.

Basically, as said, its down to what cash you got.

But a gaming laptop aint cheap, your looking at £1500 + for a decent one.

And then you have to get a mouse, because your not going to do well with a touchpad or nipple.

This might seem kind of obvious but it is often overlooked.

Make sure you get a mouse because it is horible to try to aim without a mouse.
You also want to make sure the mouse has a scroll wheel.

That seems like an impressive notebook.

I'm going to have to disagree with those who say it's hard to aim without a mouse. I used to play on my laptop all the time before I got this desktop PC, and all I've played hundreds of rounds of America's Army using a mouse pad. It's more accurate than people think.

However, that doesn't mean I'm saying that you shouldn't get a mouse. Get a good gaming mouse.

The only quirk I have with the touchpad is the fact that if you tap it twice in a row, that equals a click. You can turn this feature off of course, but not for those with older operating systems, such as Windows 2000. So let's say you're frantically trying to aim to the right and you end up facing a wall, and you double tap it, and you have a rocket launcher in your hand. You basically commit suicide because you accidentally clicked the fire button at a nearby wall. You could also end up shooting your own teammates in the back.

A few things. Firstoff, that Dell "notebook" is...well, it's not a notebook, actually. It's designed to be more of a Mac-mini type package. Sure you can take it with you if you want, but it's not a use-on-the-go thing, like a true laptop.

To be honest, that thing reeks of scam. For one, Dell never really specifies on the website what exactly the hell that thing is supposed to be. They "forget" to mention that there's no battery specifications...meaning it relies on an external power source. They want you to think, however, that it's a laptop. Look at their choice of words:

The XPS M2010 is a true original, giving you a complete entertainment solution in a stylish and portable package.

They don't mention that it's a laptop, though.

It's reminiescent of the very old-school mothers-of-laptops, the precursors like the first ever Comapq portable computer.

I'll post more information about laptops later. But trust me, you don't want that overpriced gimmick of a Dell.
