I come from a Dell family!  We love our Dell laptops and when the family gets together, there are at least 6 Dell laptops in the house.  So, when it came time for my husband and I to get a new laptop, we of course wanted the Dell brand, but we, mainly my husband, decided to get an Alienware Laptop for the first time, with all the bells and whistles.  Well, let me tell you - DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!  We have had to send our Alienware Laptop back twice to repair it and the problem still occurs.  The computer just constantly locks up and the  brilliant tech people at Alienware cannot figure out what is wrong with it!  While it was still under warranty, it was like pulling teeth to get any one from Alienware to help us out.  We finally gave up!  We could not get Alienware to help us, so we purchased a new Dell laptop - which we should have done all along!  And yes, I do know that Dell owns Alienware, but we have been very unhappy with Alienware, but are very pleased with Dell.  So, if you are looking for a new laptop, I suggest you stick with Dell because our 4 year old now plays with a worthless Alienware Laptop!

I bought the Alienware M17x for World of Warcraft play.  It is configured with dual core processor, dual G-force 260's, 6 GB of ram, and 1 T of memory.  This computer is absolutely amazing.  It is so powerful and can do anything that I ask it to.  My old computer had a difficult time multitasking and playing during high peak WOW hours.  But this computer provides most all games at 60-70 fps at maximum resolution.  I would highly recommend paying for the customer support.  I have had to wipe the system clean three times, and have had 2 hard drive replacements since buying the computer in 2009.  It was the same issue causing the problems, and it was believed to be a malfunction of Windows new operating system (I brought the computer about a month before Window 7 came out and when I upgraded is when the problems started).  But needless to say, I haven't had problems since Alienware did a through correction, and customer service is great.  The thing I love about the system is that I can upgrade the hardware without buying a new system.  This computer will keep me at the top of the game for years to come.

But there is imperfession on it, its the weigh of it. 4P wow! i couldnt imagine that and bears it around. Anyway it's great performance for gaming, Alienware is a great choice for who are Gamer.
