Just because you fell into top-notch marketing and want to be edgy does not mean it's a good machine. Actually, it's one of the worst. You're paying more for less.

Do you think people with Dr. Dre headphones buy them because they know a thing or two about audio? NO! They buy them because their pals have them and/or they want to be hip and edgy regardless if they sound worse than alternative $50 headphones! You're doing the exact same thing.

Open your eyes.

if i want to be edgy then i can lol hop off

Edgy? More like throwing money into a fire.

In which you're doing by buying a pre-built, more specifically an Alienware.

Hop off what? Is this some new slang that I am not aware of?

The cheapest one you can get would probably be asus g74sx-bbk8 from best buy and thats if they still have them. If your best buy desnt have it they ship it to the stor and you pick it up. Check on the best buy web site. On some it says they dont have it in the store but i went to the store and they had the laptop they sayed they didnt have.

That's not true at all. I don't feel like rehashing why gaming laptops are terrible.

Why gaming notebooks as a whole simply suck and should be avoided at all costs.

The only advantage a laptop has over a custom built PC for example is portability and convenience..but when you're looking to purchase a gaming laptop like the Asus G series for example, all of that gets thrown out of the window.

I'll list a few of the negatives about 'em..

- Heavy.
- Bulky.
- A large majority of them are at 17'' and almost none are below 15'' making it even less portable.
- Expensive.
- Underpowered.
- Sub par battery life since the higher end CPU, GPU, and native resolution eat it out making you have to carry the charger around more times than not which = less portability = less of what a notebook should be = more of an overpriced and underpowered tower replacement.
- Filled with crap-ware.
- Sub par TN panels which in turn makes shoddy viewing angles and colour reproduction.

In the end, they're a horrible buy...yes, all of them. If you want to game, build yourself a decent computer. If you want portability and half decent battery life, get a laptop that is actually a laptop - and no, I don't mean this buy going to your local BestBuy and picking out a 15'' $350 Acer low end tier either.

Would this be good for my price range? I am planning on building a PC later, but I will be getting this for Christmas from my parents. It is difficult to have my parents buy individual pieces if you understand.

It's absolute trash for $550. Complete robbery.

Alright thank you.
I'll just keep looking around or just have my parents buy individual parts.
