Does anyone know if Alienware laptops are any good? I can get a discount on them through Dell, but I want to know if they are worth buying. Thoughts?

No posts? Any insight about Alienware is appreciated.

they're basically too expensive for 80% of users for what they have inside, similar to most prebuilt systems. they have a lot more hype than most companies though for how much market share they have

i'd only *start* to consider one if i had a spare $2k i had nothing to spend on

do you plan to game on it constantly?

Alienware are far too expensive. to get an alienware desktop pc at my spec you would right now be looking at £1000 and i only paid £900 brand new.

they used to be the ultimate laptop, money no object type of thing, personally if i had the money i would take a look at one of the new 3D gaming laptops....Acer and Asus are the ones that have them i believe.

I guess I'm getting a consensus that they're not worth it. Thanks.

You never answered an earlier poster's question. Are you using this as a gaming PC? Do you have a desktop computer that you game on? What is your sole intention for buying a laptop in the first place?

My work buddy had a Qosmio, I prefer to game on desktops and email on laptops.

It is relevant to the point that It's maybe not worth spending 2000 on a laptop but instead buy a decent 750 buck desktop for gaming purpose and 750 for a decent laptop and save 500.
These days it's possible, to bad I can't miss a coin.

u hit the spot.

u hit the spot.

sounds like someone likes that ;D rawr.

Or, buy a cheap desktop Dell, HP, etc... and purchase a real video card and have someone install it. The 9800GT which is still a very good video card is only $100.

and thats relevant to?.....

Don't know at this point.

Most of the time their Power supply units aren't that great, It's recommended you cheap that first, because some of those desktops with integrated grapical processor might have no 6-pin connector.
Check that first. ;D

*Edit: Let alone the power itself.

I would agree with the fact that Alienware Laptops are WAY overrated. If you are not the richest person in the world and are looking for an excellent gaming laptop have a look at this http://www.gateway.com/systems/series/5 ... av_pseries I have one of the older versions and it runs games like Crysis Warhead almost as fast as my desktop (See sig for desktop stats)!
