Even the woman is laughing.
Eheh,

Someone liked my joke.

I really do like macs and the price doesn't bother me.

That's why I'm also going to purchase an alienware laptop.

The difference is the top one has a 14" screen with a resolution of 1366x768 and the bottom one has a 17.3" screen with a resolution of 1600x900. It's really more your choice here, a larger or smaller screen.
And bottom one has free shipping plus it barely hits $1000.
The first one is nice

The first one is nice
Yes indeed. Great graphics, great CPU, great RAM, all under $1000.

But the fourteen inches is pretty small  I am using a seventeen currently and it seems good for me.

Could This Run steam games like fallout three well?

Best Buy links always break for some reason.

Just tell me the specs of it and I'll search it up.

That one isn't bad. The only thing I don't like about it is that its a Core 2 Duo, not at least even a Core i3.

It does however have a GTX 260M with 1GB GDDR3 and 6GB of RAM, so it seems pretty awesome.

I'm just concerned about that Core 2 Duo... Thats practically what my desktop has currently.

I am getting this just because I hate the fact my computer can not run Fallout without it crashing. What are the take backs of the Duo?
