Is that legit?

Sounds hokey-pokey to me. Those things are normally high $, no?

 

"(extended warranty can be purchased directly ***threw*** alienware.com)

Uh, yeah that's legit. Here's my $900...NOT.

 

I know the guy who owns BlueArctic and he purchased 10 laptops and got a good deal on then and now he is selling them.

 

if it seems to good to be true....

 

Still skeptical..

I've owned an Alienware laptop.. it was garbage.

 

Really. I heard they were amazing gaming machines...I used to work with a couple of techs that swore by them...

 

Mine was 16 pounds, overheated constantly and the entire case was made of cheap plastic. The hard drive AND motherboard died just after one year.

 

Good to know.



But, was it good for gaming while it was operational?

 

It was a great gaming machine. But as a laptop, it was worthless. Too hot, heavy and too much flex. It was basically a desktop with a pretty paintjob.

 

get a xbox 360 and quit the pc gaming

 

And will the following be on the Xbox 360?

Hearts of Iron I / II
Rome: Total War
Civilization IV


Didnt think so


PC's have their uses.

 

And FPS games are still the best on PCs...Consoles will never be better IMO...

 

 

sorry..not a pc gamer....so i have no idea what im talking about

 

PC Gamer since 1985

 

And on that note, PC games arguably have better simulation games. Aside from from the GT series on the Playstation consoles, I think all the best sims are on the PC...

 

Rome Total War is fucking awesome. I just started back up to get warmed up to the expansion pack thats coming out later this month "Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasian." It's set around the time Roman empire starts to decay.

 

I'm looking forward to it as well. 10,000 Urban and Praetorian Cohorts, ballistas and onagers verses the best the Huns, Goths, Lombards and others can send against me

Watch Gladiator to really get you pumped up to play RTW

 

Anyone here looking forward to Age of Empires III...? Cuz, I'm just giddy!

 

I liked the first two. So we'll see.

 

Here's a preview: http://pc.ign.com/objects/721/721644.html

 

rome total war is the shiznet.....my XPS system runs 8000 persons battles like butter on toast

 

... though I'm hoping some good comes of the Revolution's new controller design.

 

Isn't the AOE3 demo out already.

Oh snap! Forgot about that! Thanks for the link!

 

okay back to laptop... how legit is this site?? i was looking for one!

 

Well, I think it's too good to be true.

And that being said, you already have some feedback that Alienware laptops have issues...

 

well i dont' know.. b/c couple of days ago my friend told me about how great their laptops are when I told him that I'm considering to buy dell laptop... just checked their website and with similar configuration they were asking well over 2000... damn

 

Not a Dell notebook fan here either.

Personally, I'd suggest you to take a look at Toshiba. I own an Acer Travelmate 8000 and love it to death. But, I hear it's an acquired taste...

Of course if you have a blank cheque, I'd consider IBMs...

 

Yeah, Dell laptops are junk too. Toshibas are GREAT

 

Good small desktop replacement if you can swallow the price, but they aren't very upgradable and portability isn't really there.

 

Some dells are nice, most aren't. We have these cool little dells here at work... i wanna say they're 600Ms. They're solid, stable, fast, and reliable.

I personally hope my work buys me a new Titanium IBM

 

That looks AWESOME
