Balls! Built in sound and graphics? Pffft. I've used the configure option and the min. spec I'd suggest comes to around £975 (and that's WITHOUT monitor/speakers), and you could get far better machines elsewhere for that price.

Built in graphics? Will probably be even worse than my system! :erm:

Don't bother going for Alienware, there far overpriced. Building your own system would probably be the cheapest way for a high-spec system.

Fair enougth :) I guess you pay for the name like DG just a label.

I have had pleasure of using a £2500 gaming Aurora Extreme, from them, with monitor the lot for the money, I found the case to look well, build quality was good enough. However nothing was done which could not be built by yourself and probally cheaper.

I dont know just the marketing department is well organised. For a forum on Alienware's and other computers and where you can learn some home truths try visiting www.notebookforums.com ( if i am not permitted to post that link feel free to remove it ;) ) They deal with Alienware in a subforum.

I am thinking of a laptop from the, because I like the layout of the laptop's and I need one which will run most modern games.

You are just paying for the name with alienware.

I agree there is a nice system for about £1500 with monitor and OS from OCUK, which is nice, but my worry is the factor of possible RMA'd Hardware in the machine, and OCUK's Customer Service Record.


I need a gaming laptop or desktop system with tft around March or June this year, because my aging computer just meets up to play Doom3.

I was looking @ OCUK as well, then I saw the specs & price for this:http://www.meshcomputers.com/updated...eblade_sli.htm

So it's prob going to be Mesh, again, (I love the tool-free case!)

That is rather nice,... I cannot build a pc due to issue I have with my hands, and same for my gf, for some reason still being tested I cannot use screwdrivers or thumbscrews, most annoying.

So buy the components and pay a local computer shop to build it.
