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!

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.

I am speaking to a local shop called mission computer, but being warey been caught by shops who build pc's then scarper in the night after about 8month.
