ALienware Laptops

u can surely assemble desktops havin similar configs to alienware....
but they ll be veryyy expensive... n i think they do ship products to india..

I doubt it...I tried getting one last year and the said they wouldn't ship it down or something. I didn't care though...bought me a rippin desktop instead!

^^It's time to roll the dice

i think after all .. Lappy has some LIMITS .. but you can upgrade desktop with even 2000 bucks in your pocket.. and... and desktops are much better when it comes to GAMING

U u can get nearly twice performing PC if u choose desktop instead of laptop.
for eg, u can get a real monster for 80k~1L, but for the price a laptops so limited.

@Shantanu: Alienware laptop graphics are fully upgradeable...just make sure you spend a bomb on upgrading the CPU as much as you can as that's the only part which is not upgradeable (IIRC).

Hey I doubt whether AlienWare desktops are available in India

yeah they aint ship it in INDIA... and always LAPPy PARTS ARE VERY expensive ..

If you care about cost, you have no right to even think of buying Alienware Laptops!

Alienware laptops are not at all costly today. They are priced just like any other laptop. Please note they are gaming laptops primarily, so you won't find budget notebooks there. Moreover, if there is any premium for the Alienware brand, it is 10% max from the general market price and well, the looks do justify it!

Alienware has no shop or distributor or reseller in India. Even if you manage to import one you won't be able to get technical support and service. And Yes it is confirmed that they won't ship their products to india. I'm a subscriber of their newsletter. I mailed them and they confirmed it.

And if gaming is your main concern then try a Dell XPS or The Asus (Check the model no. I forgot) lappy. It runs most recent games smoothly.


And you must be rich!!!!!!!!!!! Alienware. In my wishlist for past two years.

I've started saving up for the m5790 already! Of course, I'm going to wait till they come out with SLI 8800 GTX config or better in that notebook...

Core 2 Duo - 2.66 GHz
2 GB RAM
400 GB HDD
2 GeForce 8800s..have to wait for this. Or could settle for a 256 MB Radeon X1950...

Plus all the other Alienware goodies...brings a tear to my eye!

That is insane...really. It is really harder for nvidia and ATI to maintain that fine balance between portability, cooling, power consumption, ... on one side and Performance on the other for notebook GPUs. The performance increase is obviously not on the same levels in newer generation of graphic processors when comparing the desktop counterparts with notebook's. So, before you go with to-be-launched Go 8800GTX in the near future (late 2008), do check the performance increase. By the time they come, the Go7900GTX and Go 790GTX powered laptops may be quite cheap to make a decision go in their favor. I know getting a high end Alienware is cool, but sometimes it does get a bit overboard (Just my opinion) Let's not forget to accept Alienware no longer holds the monopoly for portable gaming monsters. There are a lot better and cheaper options with absolutely bare minimum compromises.

Yeah...but its ALIENWARE!!!!
