where can i buy alienware laptops? help please

specifically, i want to get an Alienware Area-51 M15x but i don't know where to get it. i know i can order it online but can i would much rather buy it from a store. i've checked futureshop and bestbuy sites and they don't even have that brand. is there anyone who can help me?

and also i have done research on the laptop's features/specs and from what i've read, its considered one of the best laptops for gaming. but then i see people complaining about the keyboard responsiveness, the touch sensitive volume control, and how it crashes or gives error when you try to install games. is this true? i plan on using the laptop for playing world of warcraft, using the internet, and downloading songs and uploading photos. is the alienware m15x good for all those uses?

thank you for your help.

You could configure a custom laptop online from another retailer and probably save 40% and have the same specs. I generally point people away from alienware since they are notorious for a large markup just for the brand/logo.

This is the best laptop for gaming... but you pay a lot for it

Here is a list of some good laptops for reasonable prices

4850M GPU

9800m GTS... nowhere near as good as the top link, and more expensive

Do you really need an Alienware laptop to play World of Warcraft?

LOL.

starwarsgeek is right. If WoW is your ambition, a real gaming laptop is an overkill.

lol that's funny... I gotta start reading posts all the way... the majority of laptops out there will run WOW... even with the older model mobile GPU's

I believe it would be the 4850, but don't quote me, as i'm not that good with mobile GPU's

Alienware is a sham. You're just paying for their apparently rather great marketing. Take any Alienware computer and you can generally get a similar one for much cheaper elsewhere.
