A 199 dell ain't gonna fulfill his needs lol. And go with the m11x if it's the cheapest.

I see Alex use an M11x on Diggnation and it does look nice, just not sure so much on the price tag it being Alienware will have slapped on

You have a massive pet hate of any technology that is even mildly expensive.

It's obviously going to cost alot for a laptop that has gaming abilities which are better than the average computer, you are not only paying for the high end technology itself but also for it to be compact. You aren't going to have much fun gaming on a 199 dell like already suggested which I think may of been a troll post, you really do get what you pay for. Please don't say something like "you can still get all the same for much cheaper if you build the computer yourself" but so what. If you wanted a £15,000 kit car you could buy it in bits and build it yourself, this usually saves you around £2000 which would price it at £13,000 instead so my point is it's just common knowledge that choosing to build it yourself saves you money. Might be true you are also paying partially for the brand but that's life and why you can go out and buy some trainers for £3 and some for £100.

I don't have a problem with expensive technology, it's just you're paying for a brand with Apple or Alienware. As weird as it may seem, I do indeed own a MacBook lol.

I see where you're coming from with the Car analogy but, in the Technological world, you get what you pay for up to a point. After this, it's just a greedy company making money off the uninformed. It seems you can slap "Apple" "Alienware" "Gaming" or "Performance" before a name and it immediately bumps the price up at least £200. Whilst, yes, building it your self can save some money, you don't have to, you could get a perfectly good Dell laptop, not marketed as "Gaming" but will play exactly the same games at the same performance as the Alienware and save a couple of hundred quid at the same time, or even spend that extra couple of hundred on something else or upgrade the laptop again.

There's no need for it.

You know the "Apple tax"? You're paying a lot more just because it's Apple.

The "Alienware tax" is about 10x worse.

I never thought I'd come across a tax that I actually like!

I remember looking at some Alienware PC's, they looked wicked and had some of the best specs I'd seen.
