If you really have to get a notebook then yeah alienwares look really nice but you will be paying a premium. I'd buy a used one just to save money

I am not techie per say but notebook/laptop are not the best for gaming. You could built a separate pc and get an ultrabook for the price of one of those gaming alienware laptop's. If you have made your mind than those alienware ones have quite good specs.

Here is list of top 10 done by pcgamer. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2020688,00.asp

Bump this thread one more time and I'm locking it. This isn't the most active of the subforums and you are not in such a hurry that you can't wait 20 minutes for a response.

Rule 2 of laptop gaming is not to buy an Alienware.
Rule 1 of laptop gaming is not to buy a gaming laptop.

But if you must, I would recommend something by Samsung, which will probably end up north of $1000. It depends on what you want to play.
