I have an old laptop from the 90's and that shit is heavy i wouldn't want to haul that shit with me anywhere i go so the "portabilityness" of that is none existent in my mind but the guy is still retarded for other reasons.

he says he wants the alienware because it has a smaller screen, but the MSI one which is 10x cheaper with a better CPU is only 3 inches bigger

He also says he already has a bag so that 3in can make a world of a differences if it doesn't fit in his bag then he'd have to buy a new one and that would cost atleast $50 for a decent bag, but hes still retarded for wanting alienware considering he can get the exact same thing for cheaper elsewhere. But then again since the world revolves around "style" now i understand why he would pay alot extra because they do look badass its the same reason people pay like $300 for a pair of shoes when they can get them for like $10 (Which i find those people retarded too)

You don't even need $1000 to match an Alienware. Probably $800 at the least.
A $700-800 Tobisha Satellite Laptop would out preform the Alienware he linked. Quad Core i5, 4GB of RAM, a pretty good AMD Mobility Radeon, can play games on high, which is not bad for a laptop. Just the only thing that sucks is the battery life and how fast it drains.

YOUR FRIEND SHOULD LISTEN TO THESE GUYS! Alienware are overpriced pieces of crap. Just because they "LOOK SO AWESOME" doesn't mean they perform better than anything else. Also, portability means nothing when the battery life is around 1 hour. No game dev would ever choose an Alienware laptop, they get GOOD systems. Now, would you kindly let me cyber-kick your friend in the balls...
