Tell me what you think...

...of this notebook that I want:
http://www.alienware.com/product_detail_pages/area-51_m15x/area-51m_overview.aspx?SysCode=PC-LT-AREA51M15X-FC&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT

Pretty expensive, so I'll have to save up!

Meh. It's not bad, but you could probably buy all the parts and have someone assemble it for much cheaper.

Alienwares and other boutique computers are a waste of money...you can get an HP or Dell with similar specs for 250 or 500 bucks less.

Or, as Rio says, build it yourself.

That just made my laptop look like crap...

[Kayo]

how much does it cost? ????

how much does it cost? ????

It says "Starting at $2099" right on the page...

[::Poledra::]

Starts at $2149 - or about $63 a month on financing. Yikes!  I'd rather not attempt building one myself, besides, there's a lot of extra cool features. And, no Dell's thank you very much. I have one at work & I hate it!

...Dell owns Alienware. Do you really think it's going to be any better because it looks prettier and has a few extra 'special features' that add nothing to the computer's reliability?

Again, get the middle or high-end generic brand. If you don't like Dell, get HP. Or Toshiba. Or Gateway. Or even Apple, for god sake. OK, well, maybe Apple is pushing it...

Dell owns Alienware because they acquired them, but they remain a wholly owned subsidiary. Dell wanted them because they are that good. And, no, I don't have to have the highest-end version, it's just got more power, otherwise the 'special features' are the same. I will probably never actually get it, but it's nice to think about :)

'Ssalright. To each his own.

You could probably have someone assemble it for you for around only $1000. That's half of what that costs.
