alienware isnt worth the price. They sell their cases for $270 plus cost for light effects. If you order the liquid cooling edition they charge you more for the case. I dont know why because its the same case but less fans. Top alienware $5000 PC that matches a $1200 custom pc. Actually a $1200 custom pc would be better then the alienware if done right.TrooperManaic

didnt know laptops had LC

Check out Sager.ch5richards

thats a 17inch screen. i wanna 15inch. something small.

and please people this is all laptop talk. let pretend that the people here are aware of wtf a tower is and how powerful it is ok? i cant take my tower with me to work or school or to family get to gethers and crap.

Maybe with laptops. But that's the thing, if you want a super gaming laptop there aren't very many choices to choose from. You've got to buy it from whoever offers it. It's not like a desktop where someone could put the thing together for 100 bucks cheaper with better parts. trodeback

agreed. im trying to look up other laptops with a 15inch with 8800m

no luck so far

well, there performance isnt anything near as good as dectop 8600's, and since this will be my sole computer for a few years, i want to have somthing that can atleast play crysis, consodering, alot of games will be on crytech engines, having high system performance will become standard.Fatdemon

ive seen this card do well running battlefield to unreal 3 to bioshock and a few other class titles.

whats the setting you have on crysis while you play??

I've seen people here drool over some alienware computers and laptops but i havent heard from the people that have gotten them and whether or not they had any issues.

on ratingsellers.com

it got a 7.8/10

with reviews like

This word will best fit my situation "frustration"! When I first unpack the package, there is a nice deep scratch on the back of the notebook "near the battery", the OS never worked! Black screen until it freeze! Blue screen "nvlddmkm.sys" ! Spent 10 hours + on phone with alienware support, 20 hours my personal time to fix the problem ! No Solution!
Eventually, I request a full-refund, but the CRS told me a 15% restocking fee will apply no matter what! Then talked to Eduardo Ramos, asked him if there any circumstances that the 15% restocking fee can be waived! He said: "Yes, when you have never recieved your computer" !! I was on the phone with him for 45 mins!

Short Version:

Over the past 4 months I have logged 30+ hours on the phone with Alienware. I have been lied to, ignored and otherwise mistreated Alienware's support as well as support managers. I have sent in my computer twice for repairs, and both times Alienware has sent it back broken, or further damaged. When inquiring about specific parts of my warranty I have been bullied by support. Alienware technical support has even attempted to coerce me into performing my own repairs on the computer, an act which would void my warranty and release Alienware of any responsibility over damaged hardware.

Due to Alienware's continued failure to honor my warranty agreement with them (as well as issues listed above), I have requested a refund. I was denied this refund by Mr. Erick Cheng. He notified me that Alienware had not lost enough money to warrant a refund of my computer and that regardless of what my warranty states, my only course of action is to send the computer in repeatedly until ALIENWARE is satisfied with the services rendered.

If you google alienware reviews/alienware sucks and others you will geta lot of these.

with alienwares new area 51 m15x and its new design that looks clean that i wouldnt mind taken out in public.

also its new nvidia 8800m which is a upgrade from the 8600m from its 256 to512mbcould make anyone forget these reviews.

if you could. even after all the bad stuff you hear about broken/scratched/bugged machines would you still try and order this for the new look and nvidia card?

(this is the decision i face)

arnt asus g2 running on rad vid cards?

also why do you say the 8600m nvidia graphics card with 256mb sucks?

it looks very good for laptops. anyone have any issues with lag? or gaming?
