    I just received my AlienWare Area 51m laptop. It rocks. Runs every game or demo I throw at it flawlessly.

    Now that the new PCI-Express mobo's are released, newer high-end laptops will be even better. Cool thing about AlienWare is upgradability. This kind of takes the sting out of the high price.

    A good forum for user experiences with AlienWare (also Sager, Dell & Toshiba): http://notebookforums.com/index.php?
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Alienware seems to be a good system, just expensive. There was a day when I would recommend certain Dell systems for their low cost and good upgrade potential (for an OEM, and for the less than technical crowd), but that day has passed. Dell seems to be sliding downhill. I bought one once upon a time, then upgraded it, and she's served me well. My family has since bought 3 more, and I haven't like each one since. They seem to be cutting corners everywhere. Just my experience though.

    Also, computer building is easier than ever. Not foolproof, but with some homework, you may be able to build a system. Ah, but you want a laptop, that's right.

    Yeah, my Dell experience was through work around six years ago. They have made some big changes to their business practices since then.

    Ever heard the expression "Dell On Earth"

    Alienware are fantastic systems but way way overpriced.There is a crowd called Tiny who do a similar system with about 800 euros in the difference(cheaper i mean).Not sure about their laptops but their standard PCs are the biz.

    But at the end of the day it isnt the manufacturer that matters, really there just using other companys components which any old person can do and stick there name on. Really all i would say at end f day is research and look around for best value for money, dont set your sights on just one computer manufacturer for example "Dell." If your capable i would advice to build your own, always work out cheaper, i did mine and if you really want you can add ya name to it, i did :p but just research whats in it and what you are looking to get in your pc for example gaming, then when you get a picture of what exactly you want, for example what size RAM and Harddisk then search around for who does what cheapest of whats the cheapest system.

    All i have to say ^^
