OKay, never mind im back to looking dell pulled a fast one and told me last minute that the laptop i bought someone bought it after me and they shipped it to him after i paid for it and didnt know i guess that i bought it so i got a refund.

Looking for a new machine again. Will not go for any other dells.

I will not buy a sager last 4 have been and no resale value. Took 6 months of trying to find a buyer.

I have a max budget of $850 I dont want a sager or dell, i dont mind acer,asus,msi,or lenovo but im wary about the Y series even then because i had a bad experience i mean i have heard they redid the entire fan system and hinges so they may be good now. I just am wary cause i had a bad experience.

I am considering a couple latops, but even despite some of them being from brands i dont like i am still considering them because im willing being that they will have warranty to take a chance.

I know that i said that im not going with a dell if i buy it from newegg thats fine as if something goes wrong i can deal with newegg about replacements instead of dell.

I wanted an alienware but wasnt going to really pay after consideration for a scratch and dent cause what if i got a really trashed unit.

I need to buy today so I really need someone to jump in and give me a couple suggestions as to which unit will offer the most upgrade paths be the most reliable and work for gaming for a while.
