Default Gaming laptop

Well, since I'm saving myself $253,200, the savings is already burning a hole in my pocket and I´m considering an upgrade of my 7 yr old laptop. I'm thinking Alienware or perhaps Dell XPS. Any thoughts?

(Just a note, the chances of me actually doing this...I hope is pretty slim...but I like to dream a little.)

alienware... they look cool haha

sorry thats my only real input im not a big computer guy, but i hear they are very good computers and that the customer service is great, unlike dell where i think i would rather throw the computer out the window than get routed to India for tech support

I should qualify my DelllaptopsSucks statement.. they are not durable in any way shape or form and do not tolerate heat. Maybe that is just typical of laptops in general, butfrom what I have seen, theytend to breakbefore they become obsolete.

dell sucks period...

try talking to tech support...for example:

Your retarded, and do not know how to turn your computer on. You call tech support. You describe the situation, all they say is "I see your problem. what you need to do is send your computer in to get it repaired."


haha....

Damn it Nauree...don´t toss up links without saying why you like them!!!
Funny I haven´t heard much about Falcon Northwest over the past couple of years. I remember they used to be the rig to have, nowadays the market is flooded.
