The only reason to ever buy anything for Alienware is for pure aesthetics. « Last Edit: September 08, 2008, 12:09:37 am by Dantztron 3030 » Logged

Anyway, before you even posted this topic, I think you should have gone to http://www.ripoffreport.com/ to see the rep of the company. And Alienware has terrible rep. I wouldn't even touch one of those. : S Anyway, as Dantz said, a "gaming" laptop is very unlikely. Try to get a Toshiba Satellite. http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cdetland.to?seg=HHO&poid=415435&fgpn=PSLD0U-04F014 ??? Logged

	I personally think those laptops are amazing. I have used them before and they take gaming to a whole new level. They are a bit pricey but I think they are worth it! Logged

Ha, I wish you could have told me that for a 600 dollar PC without a graphics card. Though, it did come with an awesome monitor with webcam and microphone built in, and USB ports on the side.

Doesn't afraid of anything Reputation: +42/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 7002	No. My friend bought an alienware laptop some 4 years ago. Waste of $3000. Overheats when you use it for more than 10 minutes without anything running and if you press multiple keys at once the whole thing shuts off. His gpu almost fried on him once too. Even with the high specs, it can't run any Source based games even on low settings. It's got.. 3.0 ghz pentium 4 radeon 9600 1.5gb ram Logged

Look for a NVidia 9600, 8800, or 9800 graphics card (in that order), at least 4 GB of RAM if it uses Vista, and any dual core processor in the 2.5 and up range. That should do you respectably. Logged
