Well besides women(my gf) and money... I like F1 :)

It can be anything. For me, it's soccer. Especially watching Messi and Zidane play. What's yours? :) 

I assumed since it's $850 for an alienware it would be just enough for a decent gaming laptop. I'm always on the go so I will not be investing in a gaming desktop. Should I go through with it or build my own laptop? Thank you for your responses

Alienware mx14 r1

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS (6.1, build 7601)
Intel Core i7 2760QM CPU @ 2.40 GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.4Ghz
720 GB SATA HDD @ 7,200 RPM
8,192MB ram 1333mhz
nVidia GeForce GT 555m with 3,072MB of dedicated DDR3 graphics card memory

6 cell Li-ion battery 

Also comes with 104 new games installed through his Steam account

He's asking for $850. I think it's a good purchase but then again I'm not too well versed when it comes to laptops/PC. The reason why I want to buy a gaming laptop is because I'm always traveling and always on the go. I haven't been into gaming for over 6 years now (I do own a vita but not too content with the game library). I currently own an n5010 i5 2.5 Ghz but it has integrated HD which means it doesn't really handle games well. Advice/comments/concerns? Thank you
