Why does it have to be a laptop?
But if I had to get a gaming laptop, I'd go for Samsung or MSI. Not Alienware. Not at all.

Build a gaming pc (its easy) and buy a new ipad. Will run you about a $1000 and you will have a decent gaming rig and the best tablet.



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords

First rule of PC gaming: Never buy Alienware



why?

Because you're paying way too much for the brand name alone (and looks I guess...). You can get as good gaming laptops for much less. My #1 recommendation though would be to buy a pure PC instead of a laptop. Do you really need a laptop?

Name me 1 advantige PC has over a laptop.

Well, let's go the other way around, shall we?

The only advantage a laptop has over a desktop PC is the portability.

Huh, a better question would be: Name me 1 disadvantage of PCs over laptops (portability excluded).

One could compile a list the size of a phonebook containing advantages. How about access to desktop graphics cards which are considerably better than the mobile versions? That's a big consideration when one wants to play games.
