Sorry nope. Looked into them a while back, desktops but tad pricey for me. That said, I've always heard good things about them from the gaming community. Apologies not more help. Good luck.
Appreciate it. Yeah, I've been reading good things about them too. They seem to me pretty reliable and most reviews are highly positive. The price is a bit high though so would like to know if they are really as good as advertised :D
Well, my biggest question would be keeping it cool. I don't know what your focus is but for heavy gaming methinks keeping a laptop cool is the big issue. My friend eventually built his own desktop for gaming and then picked up a reasonable laptop for work & school related stuff. I sorta do the same, not that I'm a big gamer anymore but desktop devoted to that stuff and a laptop for other stuff. If you have any techy skills at all you can build a screaming desktop way cheaper.
All that said. I do recall a review saying Alienware a tad over priced for what you get BUT damn. Just look at them right? I mean how f**king cool! So uhm, cool factor (^_^).
They do look awesome. Actually, I play 1 or 2 games per year (very picky) so I'd usually use it for work but when I do get to play my 2 yearly games, I want to play them on a good piece of hardware :D Sadly, I can't get a desktop since I'm always travelling. For sure, a custom desktop would be the best thing in terms of performance, no doubt about it. As far as cooling goes, I use a top cooling pad. I doesn't actually do that much but I'd like to think it extends the laptop's lifespan with at least a couple of months, overall.
