New Alienware Laptop

Just bought this Alienware 17, it was around $2900 with taxes.
Overall I'm happy with it, as I've always wanted an Alienware.

Specs:
- i7 4710HQ
- GTX 980M
- 16GB RAM
- 128 GB Samsung SSD
- 1 TB HDD

The pictures do absolutely no justice, it's sooooo much nicer in person.

You can also change the lights to any color you want, which I love.
I know a lot of people think Alienware is overpriced, which it honestly is, however this was like a Christmas gift I bought myself along with my watch. xD

Eh, it's cool and all but you could have built an insane desktop with $2900!

agreed here, can spend less for better stuff inside the laptop, enjoy the laptop however :)

friend has the same laptop, was on special for sales here, he got it for 1 grand, very good deal but battery life dies due to lights and such fast

I prefer MSI > alienware, but nice laptop nonetheless.

I already have a beast build for my desktop so I'm not worried about it

You sure it's the same one? This just came out a few months ago and there is no way he got it for $1000.

Lol I wish, I can't even get them to buy me $50 shoes. I said I bought myself a xmas gift, a late one. :P

If you strike the 1.3 billion jackpot, are you tempted to get of these?🤣

So YOU bought the laptop for yourself. Well, it is definitely overpriced.. But as long as you're happy. :)

You'd be mad if I told you I already over paid for a laptop once, around the same price

Honestly for $3K the specs just aren't worth it.
