Just to prove a point. I'm british yeah? So that would be £2000 right. And that would mean I'm exagurating, y'know like people do? Forgot that obviously makes me an idiot. :roll:

And that's sarcasm. Just in case you mistake it.

im a brit 2 so its about 2k in sterling

Now was a really stupid time to order a pc. Intel is releasing its new processors this month, you should cancel and then wait for them.Baselerd

or he can get a laptop now that is going to perform almost as good and play games for that month...if you always wait for the next set of processors, graphics cards, motherboards or memory to come out, you are never going to get a computer.

I know, but even here in Australia AU$2000 will get a good laptop, while 2000 pounds is about AU$5000

market rates are horrible in UK. Especially on computers and parts. 8800 GTX £300-400, which is roughly about $600+.

8700 is weak...Its like a Oced 8600gt.Sprozelth

Alienware scares the crap out of me when it comes to their costumer service.

I've heard, and personal watched as people and my friend got fryed with a **** machine that cost to much.

my friend ordered a tower and came to him broken, his bro's laptop's battery died after 2 years.

He ordered his ABS-PC: Laptop and has been running strong.

I will have to say alienware's new 15inch laptops look good, but i think ill stick to something else.

im expecting terrible battery life

I would have gotten a Sager with a 8800m GTX, but that's just me. You should enjoy that thing though. I wonder what kind of battery life you will get.ch5richards

Theres a difference between waiting a few months to a matter of days though.

If your going to wait for the new Intel CPU. You'll probably want to wait for the new NVIDIA GPU. But then you'll want to wait for the new ASUS motherboard, and then wait a few more months till the new RAM comes out. But you might want to hold off on everything till the new OS comes out. So don't buy a computer for a few years until everything has upgraded by then.

Hungry? Why Wait?

15-20% increased performance and a far better rate of overclock. Yeah, that sounds like they arn't that much better.
