*Cough*IMMENSE RIP OFF!!!*Cough*

Only reason I would buy an Alien Ware is because it looks cool, other than that it is a rip off.

 

And an 8800 in a laptop isn't a very good idea, since the 8800 can get quite hot, along with the CPU, Hard Drive, DVD Drive all compact in a laptop, unless it had serious cooling I don't think you'll have more than 1-2 hours of gameplay out of it in one session, with out it burning your lap.

Dont worry, ave got that covered. ave got a glass desk with a mini external high speed coolin fan underneath the glass to keep it cool from the bottom up.

Man. You could propably buy it all for alot cheaper without the design n shiz.

But Com'on! lol. Its an alienware! If the money's there, may aswell :thumbsup:

[hesonly5]

I think it looks ugly XD

[Nodz86]

I love the Alienware Area 51 Pc's but can't justify the £6k price when I spec one. Still cheaper than the Great white for £12k.

 

Nice laptop tho

Wow, that must have cost you a fair bit. I'm planning on getting a laptop soon but just a MacBook, i'll use my PC for gaming.

Good thing you're getting the 8700m GT insted of the 8600m GT, there's a difference in performance.

 

I have that 8600m GT 256 Mb myself on my laptop, and it's good, but not that good, I would def. suggest you to go for one with at least 512 Mb ram if you intend to play newer games on your laptop IMO. 8700M GT is alright. :)

IMO Alienware is overpriced PC's. Just like BMW is higher priced because of the badge, but there is other car companies with just as good quality for less money. no doubt its a good pc, but still..

Oh btw! When you receive your laptop, feel free to hit me up for a cruise whenever you want :D We could get some races, drifting and cruising going on if you would be interested! ;) Could Result in GREAT fun! :)
