I'm buying a new computer and I need some good advice. I am trying to buy a gaming laptop on a budget, it's retarded but both my laptop and desktop died on me recently. The desktop was kind of a piece of junk because it was so old, and the laptop was new, but decided to fry. Anyways, I have boiled it down between two computers, although I would be more than open to any suggestions people have.
Alienware.
Both my other computers were alienware, so I am hesitant to get yet another one, but no one does it better for gaming lap-tops (aside from customs). There is one that is relatively cheap, $1,700.
There is another one from Gateway that is about the same price. It has a longer warranty, and overall better hardware. 3 gigs of memory as opposed to Alienwares 1 gig. Also, a 2.0 GHz processor as opposed to Alienware's 1.66. Also, a marginally better video card. Both Comps come with VISTA.
Now, I don't know a whole lot about comps...in fact, not much at all, so I'm not really sure how to compare these things. It would piss me off to get a gateway only to have it overheat constantly or something like that.
I am inclined to go with the Gateway, but has anything heard anything about them to steer me away from them and back to Alienware, or is there another that someone would suggest?
