[QUOTE=MacTrekkie;27697149]Because I speak positively of Macs.[/QUOTE] More like shitposting about how "awesome" Macs are in threads that have zero relativity to it

[QUOTE=Tools;27697291]Unless it's made of solid gold I don't see how that's possible. :colbert:[/QUOTE] it was probably loaded up on with like 30 monitors or something
[QUOTE=reapaninja;27697990]no, it's because you're a brand wanking tool you've become an embarrassment to this section, just fuck off to /g/ if you want to brand wank at borderline troll levels[/QUOTE] yeah you're right. I think I'm just gonna go kill myself or something. I dunno. Life without meaning, I try to find some glimmer of usefulness on the internet or playing stupid games, I can't even make friends on the internet. Why the hell am I even still talking to you? Right I'm off. Though in actuality I'm too fucking lazy to do anything so I guess I'll just lurk around. [editline]27th January 2011[/editline] This is my life at the moment: :smithicide:
long story short: ricer shit long story: ricer shit that is overpriced by about the factor macs are except without the os and software packages that macs have
Question: Do alienware's actually have that bad build quality? Because at least macs have good design and build quality, just over priced.
[url]http://www.drumdumb.000space.com/[/url] Look at the comparison on the bottom. [editline]27th January 2011[/editline] it's my unfinished site, and yes page3 info is wrong regarding ram.
[QUOTE=Mike!;27698959]Question: Do alienware's actually have that bad build quality? [B] Because at least macs have good design and build quality[/B], just over priced.[/QUOTE] No they don't. MacBooks are made out of cheap chinese plastic. Design is arguable though.

He's using an apple cinema display. the glare is negligible.
[QUOTE=Clavus;27694556]What we actually should do is compare Alienware to other pre-build 'gaming' computer and see how it holds up. We all know home builds are better, but we're talking about a different audience here. Do you guys have any info / sources on this?[/QUOTE] Asus G73 is better than any Alienware laptop, hell even their desktops. Just look at the specs for it. MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Intel Core i7 740QM @ 1.73GHz 50 °C Clarksfield 45nm Technology 6.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24) ASUSTeK Computer Inc. G73Jh (Socket 989) Generic PnP Monitor @ 1600x900 ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 625GB Western Digital WDC WD6400BEVT-80A0RT0 (SATA) 36 °C HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT32N Realtek High Definition Audio
laptop components don't even come close in terms of performing up to their desktop counterparts

[QUOTE=FlakTheMighty;27701384]And the specs I posted are still better than any Desktop bought in-store.[/QUOTE] Look, you have a nice laptop and all, but its performance really can't even be compared to that of the desktop's.
[QUOTE=Jaehead;27701536]Look, you have a nice laptop and all, but I'm sorry it can't even be compared to that desktop[/QUOTE] I didn't say that one, I said any storebought Alienware.
[QUOTE=FlakTheMighty;27701550]I didn't say that one, I said any storebought Alienware.[/QUOTE] Ok then. I'm sorry It's just that I didn't see any post here regarding your specs other than those of your laptop's so I assumed that you were talking about your laptop
[QUOTE=Jaehead;27701536]Look, you have a nice laptop and all, but its performance really can't even be compared to that of the desktop's.[/QUOTE] Uh yeah it can. I'm pretty sure that thing can max ore come very close to maxing Crysis. I'd say that's comparable to a desktop.
[QUOTE=MacTrekkie;27703372]Uh yeah it can. I'm pretty sure that thing can max ore come very close to maxing Crysis. I'd say that's comparable to a desktop.[/QUOTE] I was talking about the specific desktop that Flak quoted

Alienware is like a less extreme version of mac. Its overpriced but still a fine computer.
Wait, are we talking laptops or PCs...because I sure do miss that portable way of taking my steam games with me.

[QUOTE=Nexus435;27697256]No, you're a fanboy.[/QUOTE] Mactrek posts some good builds in PC Building though
Desktops are overpriced, crappy hardware, etc. I have an M17x because I got it for $800 cheaper then from the site directly. They also have great warranties.
I wouldn't say it is bad hardware wise. Just extremely overpriced. Stick with iBuyPower.
