Answer 1

I know a better laptop:

17.3"

i5-430M 2.26GHz (Faster)

500GB (Larger)

1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 (same)

1600 x 900 (same)

DVD Burner (same)

4GB DDR3 (same)

etc.



Comes with SuperSpeed USB 3.0, which is 10x times faster than USB 2.0. Alienware does not have this yet. Its a bigger 17.3", yet still manage to be lighter than 15" m15x, made possible by utilizing lightweight aluminum casing, instead of plastic.



Price: $1,199.99 http://bit.ly/hp173s

Only possible with a crazy coupon (-$200 off), Use NBA5193862 as coupon code, while it last.

Answer 2

Looks great apart from the i3 which will bottle neck your super awesome 5850, you should consider the i7 CPU's even the cheaper version (1.6ghz-2.8ghz overclock) which is much better. If you cant squeeze to that go with the i5 that runs at 2.53ghz, don't get the i3.



Also if you get the i7 your RAM will run at 1333 which is faster than what you will run with the i3.



I know it will cost more but i dont want to see you disapointed.



If you do decide to buy the i7 remember to add this command to the wow config found in the WTF folder "SET processAffinityMask "85" so it runs on all cores making the game run faster.

Answer 3

Yes, Alienware from Dell are the best gaming laptops on earth.
