Yeah lol. @mainedj. If you're gonna have your music on the internal hard drive, I always thought having a laptop with a hard drive that has 7500rpm is better. Eveything else looks good.

Looks good, hope it works great...

Donno why so many buy into the Alienware hype... Its just "another" Dell PC. Owned by Dell.


The brand name on the laptop box is not the important issue, its how well its made, and how good components it has, and how well its tested to work together...

Regardless of brand name on the box... Dell, Alienware, HP... All have good and bad laptops ;)

All the nice specs to that machine and a shit video card man thats disappointing. Will however do great with audio. I hope you ordered an oem os to go with it. Maybe you can change the video card, I hear some AW laptops let you do that.
