I think he got a pretty OK deal for $800. I wouldn't want a 720p screen either, but for a 14"er it's not too bad. Let the dude enjoy his purchase, lol.
Its good for 800 but if he can get the 900p screen theres no reason to step down from it.
And yeah personally the entire pick overall irks me because its a 14 inch screen, which is something I would more so use for portability and not for gaming.

Well yea, I wouldn't go for a gaming laptop anyway. Just got a Radeon HD 7950 for my system. Running sweet so far. \o/

Thank you. Haha, I probably shouldn't have made this thread. Alienware gets a lot of hate for some reason..

which, judging by OP's knowledge of computers in this thread, they won't do.
Pretty sure I say I would.

I feel mean every day ._.
Anyway in the end what he picks doesn't really matter. Just as long as he knows exactly where his money actually went, rofl.

And I was talking about the possibility that you'd upgrade, and judging by what you've said, you wouldn't be upgrading much at all.

Lol. Yeah, I think the hate for Alienware is a little well, dumb? I mean, it's not the best and it's a little overpriced but that's to be expected. Plus this is a laptop. Not many people can "customized" and it doesn't always play out well when you customize it yourself.
The majority of the Alienware users loved it tho so I can't wait to get mine.

That's what matters, in the end. If it makes you happy, then enjoy it. Analyzing computer parts is exciting for some of the more experienced, but just having something nice that looks good in the first place is exciting too in a way. I'm betting most people don't take apart and analyze their car part by part, either, despite spending a lot of money on it.

Lol. Exactly! x] When I saw your username, I thought you were going to troll me or say stuff about Alienware. So frankly, I'm really surprised. :D
