I've never been a computer person, really (I'm sure it'll surprise a few people), but if you're getting something for gaming I'd stick with a desktop and go through something like Newegg.com. I personally use an ASUS-N53S laptop for everything and I've been pretty happy with it, though it's more mid range, however I paid significantly less than you would have; mine came out to around $1150 including tax, Canadian.
Definitely avoid MSI. They're cheap, and sometimes have some decent specs, but they're manufactured like shit.

Alienware X51: Alienware X51
OPERATING SYSTEM: Genuine Windows

« on: May 31, 2012, 10:09:26 AM »I am considering purchasing a new laptop or desktop, not really sure what to look for right now though.
I have been taking glances at ASUS and Alienware products but I am of course looking for some insight.
