Can AlienWare save My Life?


Ok i have a VPr Matrix and
its not that powerful and instead of upgrading it i want to just get a new PC.
so my question is if i buy a AlienWare area 51 model will i even have to worry about upgrading it or will it play the game without a problem?

also if i get a alienware area 51 model im thinking of getting the laptop version but im not very computer literate so can some1 anwser me this can u plug a mouse into a laptop to play games or do you have to use the laptop pad to play games too. because if you do im not going to get the mobile area 51 model because i dont even want to imagin what trying to play planetside without a mouse would be like..lol

Yes, you can plug a mouse into a laptop. No, an Alienware will not save your life, but it will drain your wallet.

Edit: And - laptops aren't the best things to buy for playing games. Even if it was good enough, the battery life would be terrible. Go with a desktop if you don't need to move it around that much. And on top of that, buy something else. If you buy alienware, you're paying for a name.

Edit2: An Alienware A-51 performance will run the game...so-so. An enthuisiast, will run the game good. An extreme will run it very good. But like I said, you can find better...for cheaper. Try www.polywell.com.

Well, the idea behind polywell is to find one that's close to what you are looking for, and then fine tune it from the customization parts.

http://www.polywell.com/us/onlinestore/poly880nf2i.asp

That is my PC, with quite a few alterations of course.

Buying an AlienWare is like buying Starbucks coffee. Overrated and a ripoff.

And it leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth. Especially when someone punks your face for being stupid after telling them that you got an Alienware.

Its okay to own an alienware if you pay under 1.5k $$$ out of your own pocket. which I did thanks to my ski-mask, ak-47, and local bank.

LOL....
dont bother with alienware..... even dell r a better deal! (well sorta!) ok ill giv u thw quality in an alienware is pretty gd but so are most other companies.....

youd be better off learning to build your own as i regularly say... BUT if u dont want 2 (it can be very daunting!) look around find one cheap! dont go for the most famous one they are not normally gd value! shop around

If ur in the UK giv me amoth or 2 to get my company Ltd and then u can buy from me

Dell is almost a better deal than AW atleast you know your getting bad quality parts with dell.

Pollywell has decent prices about the best i've seen for builders.
