Desktop or Alienware 18?

Recommended Posts

I was going to just build a desktop but I work on the road and the hassle of carrying around a ton of stuff gets old and I cant help but to think that the Alienwares a baddass deal for the hardware in it. I've looked around alot and I cant find any better deals to make me change my mind but I'd  like others to direct me on what the better decision would be.

desktop.... It's better if you build it yourself, that way you can upgrade any parts

 

edit:

if you are the kind of person that keeps moving a lot I wouldn't hesitate buying a good gaming laptop (if you can). If you have a specific place for gaming, no doubt it should be the desktop.

 

I still recommend the desktop because I've gotten a lot of heat issues with laptops and games :(

 

ps.: building a desktop is easy

alienware is shit.

 

 

Yup, please never buy alienware

 

 

Pls don't buy the alienware. If you want a laptop you can find comparable ones for a much lower price.

If you're on the road a lot, I'd just get a laptop. Not alienware though.

Its like 2600 before my warrantys.  Lets just say all games haha. cod batman Wow etc...

split in 1000 and 1600. for 1000 you get a super laptop which can play these games perfectly even with the intel HD integrated GPU for less power consumption and spend 1600 on a nice gaming rig.

 

Intensive gaming on a laptop will always make it super hot because of the limited space and cooling options.

Honestly the laptops are perfectly fine, they're just stupidly overpriced. I got one for like half off so it ended up being about 750 which was cheaper than any other laptops that could run the games I wanted.

This. I have a Y500 right now and it only costed me $925 (it was on sale) and it works great. Battlefield 4 runs at 30-40 fps (at best) on high.

 

Bonus: I can SLI the graphics card if I have the extra money.
