Hi, i want to ask. Is it true that its cheaper to buy from overseas instead of locally? for example, from US. What about the tax? and does alienware has International warranty?

Okay thanks

May i ask if anyone here has experience buying laptop from US?

I see, another question. If i get an alienware. Will i be able to upgrade its gpu in the future?

I havent actually decided on what to get yet. Haha. Still considering (while waiting for the newer laptops to come out) but thanks a lot for your reply. Will surely let you know if i want to get from overseas

you sure it is Dell international warranty? or warranty by local company?

do it now!

I do wonder, besides the alienware orion. What backpacks do you guys use to carry your beast around?

Just googled it, seems like a sturdy backpack. Will check it out thanks

it does look good. Will keep it in my list too. I'm currently looking at a few backpacks for my asus G55. Cause i remember M17x were almost a similar size to the G53sx. Thats why i'm curious. Most of the backpack im looking at, doesnt really fit. And i remember seeing your post somewhere that you uses cad or 3D max? architecture student?

Dell provides what kinda discounts?

Dell discounted price depends on the upgrades you made is it?

that's kinda good

anyone here using their alienware for assgs? Especially those that are in design courses or engineering courses. In terms of rendering performance, will a 7970 > gtx675 or its the other way? Lets say, i'm using it for video editing/photoshop or simply just to render a 3D model.

interested pm price

illegear updated their website, but they only sell m18x at this point

MBP are good for graphic designers but i wouldn't recommend them for architectural/engineering intensive softwares.

i will first begin to say that the MBP aren't strong enough to support the intensive usage of such softwares but of course there are people (students mostly) who uses far lower specs and still get good feedback. But for better processor and a better graphic card. I guess that's where a gaming laptop can come in handy, or with that budget to get a MBP, maybe a desktop will be better.

autodesk softwares for MAC tends to fall short in terms of productivity and available functions, probably due to the number of bugs that appeared. So i'd say autodesk programmes perform better in PC rather than Mac. Since Autodesk in Mac is fairly new.
