Hey guys. Last rig i gathered by myself was a disaster. So im not doing the same mistake again and i want my computer to be mobile. I know alienware gives you lots of options. Other than that i always liked asus computers for some reason. What would you guys do if you were me? Asus? Alienware? Something else? My first priority is performance and stability. I dont want my computer to crash or require frequent care since im not very good at solving that kind of stuff.

Hey hey :) well that all depends on where your from? if you can than don't buy alienware. It's way too expensive! Look at this badboy and see the price difference for better specs :http://3xs.scan.co.uk/ConfigureSystem.asp?SystemID=1530#

Looks pretty good and can even be customized. But i'd rather leaving the customisation to someone else to make the computer more stable. Can anyone help about that too?

They build it themelves and don't forget that you will get two years fre insurance :) but you might also want to look at pcspecialists.com they are sluightly more expensive but i really do recoment 3xs scan....offers better prices even if you wanted to build the computer yourself unless you got a great deal.

Hey Bret its just one of the possibilities, I mean there are many shops from where he could get it :) but if he wants to buy it straight away than they do free shipping :) Of course it''s different if he/she would like to buy it on finance :) it's just an suggestion though....and one more advice, never go EBAY! unless you want to get just the laptop base with prebuild gpu as ive seen some clevo chassis laptops there.

Well it's pretty much up to you, do you want a gaming laptop? do you want 2 GPU's? in any case go for amd 7970m if you can. It's totaly worth the price, you could go for double 7970m, i7-quad core, blu ray drive, bigfoot wireles, *no windows* 16gb ram and that's all for £1500 :) not to forget that you also get seagate hybrid drive which if you never heard of is a drive that can be as fast as SSD but offers the same capacity and price as HDD. Hope that helps
