Dude, what the hell? I didn't say to **** on the existence of Alienware's just because I'm getting one
Uh.. alienware is terrible in general, it's not cause you're getting one, you're just getting informed that they're.. well, bad, overpriced, about the same quality workmanship as any other slap together PC company.

Is the configuration okay? I get a MAJOR discount on Dell because of my partnership.
I hope that's a half price discount or something, but anyway, the build is fine.
I don't get it. Why do people **** on Alienware? The computer I'm using now is a horrible disaster which can't run Minecraft properly. All the stuff I put into the Alienware, though, are BEAST. I don't get it, is it that Alienware can't run Crysis 2, Minecraft or any other game?
Dude, bottom line, alienware PCs' suck, horribly, you can easily build one for half price.
Dude, what the hell? I didn't say to **** on the existence of Alienware's just because I'm getting one, I just wanted to know weather or not it would work out...

I'm done personalizing an Alienware Aurora R3 for gaming. That's it, it's Alienware, period.
I need to see if the things I personalized work, though. If you know about this stuff, please read the specifications
(When I get the computer, I'll change the Memory (RAM) to a 8gb 1600Mhz, since it's 200 cheaper in Crucial)

Okay, So I'm getting a gaming computer or laptop. When I searched for Dell computers for gaming (I get a partnership discount so I have an easy access to them) I found an available laptop for my country, the Alienware m17x (laptop).
I was about to buy it, when I found another Alienware available for my country, the Aurora R3.
I was very confused afterwards, since people say that the best gaming experience comes from Desktops.
But also, I want some gaming in which I could take to my room, instead of just keeping it down at the house office.
A Alienware m17x seemed a good idea for a couple of reasons: I could travel with it to certain places. I could easily transfer it to a HD tv and connect it via a HDMI cable.
The Aurora R3 seemed good for a couple of reasons as well: It's WAY more powerful for the same price than the laptop (Would run better in games and internet) and I guess it would last longer than a laptop (Life time) I WANT TO CLARIFY: NO I'M NOT BUYING SOME OTHER COMPUTER OR EVEN BUILDING MY OWN. IT'S EITHER AURORA OR M17X.
I want some bad ass gaming experience with FULL SETTINGS on games like Crysis 2 and... MINECRAFT
I went to the DELL Store and lookes at all the building features for each system. I'm stuck building the AURORA, tho. I want some help with that.

I'm getting an Alienware m17x and I'd like to know weather or not it will run Minecraft (along with some other games) smoothly. Not only smoothly, but with the fancy options and the far render distance. Also, a high number in FPS.
I know Alienware is an overkill, and other laptops could do even better for a lower price, but I found Alienware an easy access laptop for now.
I don't want comments saying "If you really want gaming, you should get a Desktop instead" or "Build your own computer!!" or "Alienware is too expensive, you should get...". Alienware is my final decision, I just want to know if it will run Minecraft 'top notch'
Also, in the near future I'm probably setting up a desktop around here, so recommend me a fast desktop that can run heavy gaming. This is separate and extra, tho. THANK YOU FOR HELPING! (IN ADVANCE)
I'm looking for a good gaming Laptop, especially to run Minecraft without any lag, with a high number of FPS, and that I can run with the best quality options (Far distance, Fancy looking) . I'm looking for a laptop only. No, I'm not going to build a computer, I'm looking for a laptop.
I have easy access to DELL Laptops only, so could you PLEASE let me know of a good Dell Laptop that can run Minecraft "top notch"
A Alienware is too much of an over kill, and I'm not willing to pay a ridiculous amount of money for that kind of laptop. Even if the price isn't as fair, let me know of the BEST Laptop for gaming. (Dell only, again)
Apart from just Minecraft, other games too :wink.gif:
