Update all the drivers on your PC.
Also Acer lol.
That Lucas guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Gaming laptops don't exist.

You should be apologizing to yourself.
Alienware is way overpriced because of the look of the computers. Computers should be practical, not flashy as hell (unless you're rich and it doesn't really matter how much it costs, but even then, I'd make sure the specs were top-notch). Plus, I can guarantee that due to the way they look, Alienware computers have higher risk for theft.
It's like saying, "I'm getting a Rollex!" Sure, Rollex watches are expensive, but I fail to see how they tell time better than an everyday watch. The only difference is in appearance and price.
I've also heard that Alienware computers tend to overheat a lot. Really, do people bother checking the specs and everything? Or do they just look at who made it and say, "Hell yes!"?

-They are expensive but they are amongst the best gaming laptops.
-Why would anybody exhibit their laptop? I wouldn't carry it around like a book..
-Don't compare watches to computers since they are nowadays used merely for appearance. There are plenty of people who can't even tell the time in their watch.

-Overheating is due to careless owners that do not pay attention or thought to what they are doing. The main problem being the kids that play continuously for 2 hours with their overclocked processors running Turbo Boost. They don't even mind fetching a cooling pad for such abuse.
-Alienware has gained a reputation where your "Hell yes!" is common. It's like an exotic car, there will always be a crowd drooling that doesn't have any idea on maintenance or handling of such a machine.

Could you please cite your sources and reasons for saying this? The problem isn't that they're not good gaming computers, it's that they're more expensive than others on the same level.

Well, cello just told all of us that he got an Alienware Aurora, so there's a nice chance he'll be telling some people he knows about it. It's a good possibility that the wrong person will hear about it. The worst scenario is the price of the machine getting out.

I don't know about you, but I've found my cheap, inexpensive watch very helpful so far.
>mfw i had wrote a giant block of text but i'll shorten it
It's the same as the Apple effect, I can buy a cheap PC that is better than a mac but the mac will cost more because of the looks and because of the people that only buy apple stuff, they think they're better even though they're on the same level as PC
for example, If i get a monster gaming laptop, and a friend of mine gets an Alienware slightly worse than mine, everyone will say "OMG UR FRIEND HAS ALIENWARE WERE IS HE IM SUCK HSI KOK1!" because everyone thinks alienwares are betters that normal PCs that have been built to be gaming PCs
