Hello guys. Anyone wanna enlighten me about why Alienware is not good? I am on the neutral side. Not siding fans or haters. Just curious because an Alienware dealer told me not to get one. So, I'm assuming he could be serious? Haha.

QUOTE(girugaga86 @ Apr 23 2012, 12:31 AM) anyone can help me decide between these two models? in serious dilemma here. I'm an architecture student so i'll be using a lot of photoshop/illustrator, CAD programmes, 3Ds max, Rhino etc. And i'm an avid gamer as well. Please help me!  Asus G53sx-s1208v - RM3999 i7-2670QM (4 core)-2.2GHz (Turbo up to 3.1)/6M 4GB DDR3 1033 500GB+500GB -5400rpm 15.6" HD Color Shine(LED) NV GTX 560M 2GB GDDR5 8xSuper Multi-Dual 802.11b/g/N (ASUS) Win7 Premium Y/USB3.0 2.0M 8 Cell 5200mAH Rubber-Painting Design MSI GE60 - RM4299 15.6" FULL HD Anti-Glare (1920 x 1080) LED Display Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM (2.3Ghz-3.3Ghz, 6MB Cache) NVIDIA® GeForce® GT650 2G DDR5 8GB DDR3 750GB (SATA) 7200rpm HD webcam (30fps) HDMI, card reader DVD Super Multi ODD Intel Jackson Peak N2230 (2*2 b/g/n)+BT4.0 Steel Series Gaming Keyboard with backlight Exclusive TDE Technology Exclusive Cooler Boost Technology Exclusive ECO Engine (Smart Power Management System) Exclusive Cinema Pro Technology 2 Years Warranty with 1st Year International Warranty I know GE60's gpu will beat G53sx's one. But by how much? GE60 only has two slots for ram upgrades while G53sx has 4 (one is internal). I'll be upgrading my ram to the max too, so hopefully 12gb if possible. And the GE60 looks kinda ugly imo. Which one is better? for performance and for my wallet  Not really sure because there isn't much benchmarks yet.. But the MSI GE60 does have newer processor and GPU  , and the Asus G53x-1208v is EOL-ed already, it might not be that easy to find... Perhaps you could wait for the upcoming G series if you can wait~ |

Every brand/laptop has its pros and cons..For Alienware, each unit is a lot more expensive for the specifications you get if compared to, say, an Asus or Sager But then for that price you get generally better built and warranty support (bling-bling is just an extra since not many fancies them) |

QUOTE(kuekwee @ Apr 23 2012, 11:50 PM) what's the battery life like? 4 hour possible? Again it depends on your usage According to NBC's review here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo...ok.64656.0.html The G770, which is running on an dual-core i7 processor managed to hit 2 hours and 50 minutes with Wifi on and medium brightness settings.. Since our version of the G770 is running on a lower-clocked i5 processor, you can expect slightly longer battery life... maybe 3 hours + or so Added on April 24, 2012, 12:09 am QUOTE(syabilng @ Apr 23 2012, 11:42 PM) Haha. Thank you for saying! What else would you want to know? Anything else that I should know of?Actually it all depends on the user.. For me, since I'm quite a noob in hardwares and stuffs, warranty is more important to me than everything else... However its a different case if you are like most of the sifus here - you know your way around laptops/ desktops etc. Most of them could easily fix minor laptop problems themselves, so warranty is not much of a problem, which is why most of them would prefer especially Sager laptops that offer the most bang for buck~ This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Apr 24 2012, 12:09 AM |
