Alienware= money furnace, you're better off getting a laptop from newegg, the dell's are pretty good as well.

yeah but he is stuck to a monthly pay
Actually newegg has a paying off option if the bill is over $300.

Not worth it. For that price you should at least get 4GBs of RAM. Go with the one Furbrain suggested.
Alienware overpriced go with new egg financing.

Explain please.
[QUOTE=MTMod;17363133]Explain please.[/QUOTE]
How do I explain? That was pretty damn self explanatory...
If you spend over $300 you can pay in installments, also buying on credit isn't the best idea in the current economic situation.

Well if you pay it off in time, it shouldn't cause any trouble.
But if you lost your job or some shit....
[QUOTE=lemongrapes;17387797]But if you lost your job or some shit....[/QUOTE]
Then you shouldn't buy a new computer...
If you lost your job during repayments and couldn't afford the monthly payment. :downs:
No computer for you then!

Maybe he has the money saved already, and just can't pay all at once due to him being under age, so he has to buy those disposable Visa cards.
Yeah i had a friend that looked at the parts from an alienware desktop, then built one off newegg and save around like 1500 dollars

I don't think you could save THAT much, but typically you save $100-$500 dollars building it yourself. You also get experience, you know exactly what parts you have, and you get to tell all the idiots at school that you had to solder shit together :science:
