Hi all,

Just wanted some help really as im looking at getting something like an Alienware laptop. Basically I love the look of them, I do play games on my PC but not all the time so really its about the looks so it hasnt got to be the best performance.

Just wondered which model you would suggest? Whether it be an older one or a good finance deal maybe on one of the newer ones.

Thanks
James

if you want performance there are many out there but if you want something extra than go for alienware and for that matter i would suggest m11x r1/r2 or better still wait for the r3....
