Yea already getting it from Dreamspark lol.
What was said before it all depends what games you're going to be playing. You really don't need a system like Alienware; not worth the cost. You'd be almost better off making your own laptop to meet your specs. If you're really into gaming I would suggest making your own desktop; can get more output.
Firstly, you really can't "Make" a laptop.
Secondly, there is value to the added cost of Alienwares, and yes I have one. Alienware supports upgrades, and so as long as the hardware type, cpu/gpu socket stay the same, you can upgrade. Which reduces life time cost.
There are many AW17 owners replacing 260/280s with 880s right now.
As well, the cooling on them is above top notch, which is quite important on a gaming laptop.
Win 8 owners get 10 for free next year. Might as well keep it as I can assume you'll like 10. It's the going trend with 7 and 8 people.
Ohh Really?! Can you link details please?
I'll stick with MSI for the forseeable future . My friend's M17x R3 is way heavier compared to my MSI, or even my Asus that my wife has now. A good 3-4lbs heavier I believe.
