I really really wanted to get a new laptop. Why? Because I'm spoiled and I like new stuff, or because i'm a gamer and to keep up with games you need a new PC about every 2 years or so. Since I have a Dell Account and they are offering no interest for 12 months I was looking into Alienware laptops. I love my PC which is a an Alienware, so why not have a laptop too. I also found out that my company gets a discount with Dell.
I called and specced out:
Alienware M15x, Lunar Shadow
Intel® Core™ i7 740QM Quad Core Processor, 1.73GHz (2.93GHz Turbo Mode, 6M Cache
6GB Memory (1x 2GB, 1x 4GB DDR3)
15.6-inch WideFHD 1920x1080 (1080p) WLED
1.5GB GDDR5 65W NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 460M
250GB SATAII 7,200RPM
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
Slot-Load Dual Layer DVD Burner (DVD+-RW, CD-RW)

Wireless 1520 802.11n Half Mini-Card
Internal Bluetooth 2.1 Mini-Card - 2.1 Enhanced Data Rate
Total w/ tax and dell epp discount - $1,745.93
Really not to shabby if you ask me, but I still can't bring myself to buy it. I am just going to stick it out w/ my pink XPS until Dell starts building laptops w/ the 2nd gen i7 processors. Then that baby should run me like $1,300 and it will be mine. Until then I will be checking the Dell Outlet store just in case there a "Scratch and Dent" special.
