The most basic alienware model of Alienware M11x is near to your range. It suits most of your needs and can be a good choice for you.

umm...i don't think so...i did some research on my own. Alienware M14x is available for a base price of $1099 and my budget is $1300. M11x is too small. I wanted to know of some other alternatives...maybe from Asus or Msi.

Asus n55sf !

thanks people. I'll havta choose from the Asus - G53SX-DH71 15.6" LED Notebook - Intel Core i7 i7-2670QM 2.20 GHz - Black - G53SX-DH71 and Alienware - 14" M14X Laptop - 8GB Memory - 750GB Hard Drive - Stealth Black - AM14X-5305SBK a 17.3" laptop will be a tad too big for college. and alienware...just bcuz i've been partial to it since my 10th grade

Also, will I be expected to face warranty issues if I buy a laptop from the US??

Asus does provides int warranty.

Even Dell is not giving international warranty but you ask them that if they can provide you that if you pay extra bucks to them

Tell you what, grab a HP Envy. You'll really love it.

HP Envy is really a high end multimedia laptop...i need a dedicated gaming thing. The Asus G53SX is really a bulky laptop. I guess, for me at least, for college, the Alienware would be a better deal.
