NEVER buy an Alienware. It's just a rip off!!! Build it yourself, we will help you. Btw, how much does this cost?

It's a laptop, he can't build it himself. Still, Alienware are hugely overpriced.

It's a laptop. If you're good at building them, that's good to hear. However, I hear it's very hard and nothing like putting a desktop together. To the TC, that laptop should be one hell of a mobile gaming machine - if that's what you're looking for. You shouldn't really run across any problems playing any game out there. Alienware is generally always way over priced, but that's not what you asked about....but I just thought I would share.
