    I finally did it. I bought an alienware 14. (new guy here)

    This was unfortunate because I seem to remember a couple of years ago you could really get in there and customize these specs on these machines from dell. But then I didn't have the balls to make the purchase. Now, it seems they've taken all the options away and you're locked into whatever...

    alienware 14" screen 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4700MQ processor 16GB RAM and GTX 765M 1 year of completecare windows 7 ------- ~1600$ My Asus was just under 1600$ but didn't come with any warranties or guarantees, as far as I know. I got it from Best Buy. Asus g74sx 17.3" screen i7-2670QM...

    That's what I'm saying! It's a great laptop and performs well for what it is, but it's size is just too much. But it DOESN'T perform well enough to be my desktop.

    Hi. I have a little story to tell. I am fast becoming a PC gamer. I am currently using an Asus G74sx 'Republic of Gamers' laptop. It performs well and runs most demanding games at medium to high settings. But there is one problem. It's too freaking huge and heavy to carry around. I've already...
