I highly suggest dont pick DELL or Alienware.

unless you want to wait 2 months just to get a piece of junk that youll have to pay to send back.

Dont believe me? Do your research...

Just bought my sager... from xoticpc.com

He says itll be no more then 14 days at the MAX, even if they DID have a back order issue..

Wanna know whats funny, I compared my sager I ordred from xoticpc.com to "scamienware"

EXACT same specs, dual 280m's 4 gigs 1333 ram.

TWO hard drives instead of just one of the alienware's m17x

AND 3 years service warrenty, and problem free promise.. AS WELL as if I'm not satisfied FOR ANY REASON.. I can get a FULL REFUND and not have to pay a "restock fee" like dell//alienware

Also, My sager.. is 18.4 inch WUXGA.. unlike alienwares m17x which is only 17inch...

AND... my sager is 400$ cheaper.. Wow. Alienware/dell You fail.

Still want that alienware? Go for it.

Good luck.  Just remember you might need customer service and who gives the best????  Not dell.

I have an Alienware laptop and a desktop. The desktop was nothing but trouble and frustration for 8 months after I got it. The laptop has been just about perfect in every way straight out of the box. YMMV.
