Alienware Laptops (m9750 vs m15x)

[darkeros]

Anybody have either one?

I'm trying to decide which I want....I'm guessing the m17x's(when they release) will be way overpriced, so if I go for a 17", i'll just go ahead and get the m9750.

My advice is that you dont buy Alienware.

You can get a powerful laptop for much cheaper than what Alienware are offering. Alienware are only popular because of the gimickry that is associated with them.

I'm not opposed to another laptop, but if you're going to make that claim, please find me another laptop with an 8800GTX512MB with comparable hardware/processor for cheaper. Heh, I know you're just tossing advice, so take that with a grain of salt. I know Alienware's rep is known for overcharging...but I haven't found comparable hardware/features for a price that's even close.

Even cyberpower isn't cheaper and I'd also like to note "gimickry" would probably include the fusion feature, where you can turn off your nvidia graphics card and use the on-board intel to increase the life of the battery if you don't need the graphics power. Some have reported 3 hours and that's far better than Macbook Air.

Assuming you are from the US, so I don't know how much this'll be to you...

I can vouch for the quality of their products and they always keep their end of the bargain with warranty.

Thanks for the advice. I decided to get an iPhone and hold off on my laptop purchase.
