alienware is overpriced. and now that Dell owns them i dont even look at their new stuff.
If i ever do get a laptop it will be a dual screen one like this. so cool

What? Duude. XPS is the shit. Whats wrong with Dell?
The Alienware m17X would eat this for breakfast, and under 3k as well. Dells purchase of Alienware has given the same warranty and tech support that has made XPS famous with gamers. I didnt give Alienware a second glance when I was looking for a DRS Gaming Laptop. Thats why I got this XPS M1710 from Dell. Now that Dell has its hand in Alienware I can expect the same level of support that XPS has given me over the last 3 years. Any issue, I have a tech at my door, withing 24 hours. (the two times Ive needed it, they were here in 10 hours, and 15 hours, respectively) I got pissed one day and chucked my joystick into my screen, fucked it up huge, Dell came here and replaced it. No questions asked, no charge. The second time was for my graphics. I toasted it playing Crysis. Again, here, replaced, and working at 100% within the same day.
I dont know where else you will find that kind of support. And these are things that someone should take into account whenever dropping 3K+ on anything.
Im pretty sure I'll be replacing this, with the M17x within a few months.
Mind you, you pay 300 bucks for the warranty, but the first call I had to make, more than made up for it.
