It's only "med-high specs" according to Dell because that's their middle/medium option, any higher is just unnecessary stuff like a 3.0 GHz i7 or two GTX480Ms in a laptop 

That's a very, VERY nice laptop you're getting.  How much was it?

Like... $2,033.

Yeah I can't dream of affording that.

I suggest getting extra warranty on it.  Just in case.

lol Alienware

I could buy 4 old PS3's with that money, put Linux on them ( old TOS, not piracy bro ) and make a supercomputer out of the forgeter.

I once used the customize thing on an Alienware M17x.
I made it cost about $8,000.

I still find it hilarious how people say this, although Vista's been ultimately more stable for me than Windows 7.

That laptop is $200 less then my ATV. Damn.

Alienware is a ripoff because of branding.

Best part is, it's not even really a "laptop". It's probably too big and heavy to actually take anywhere.

meh. Even if that's the case, I still think the $1000 I paid for my M11x was worth it 2 months later.

[SlayerZ99]

Yeah I can't dream of affording that.

By myself I couldnt dream of affording a $400 one. :I

[Sr38890x]

Yeah I can't dream of affording that.

Oh, I don't even have near enough. 'tis a reward from my parents for years of doing every chore for no allowance.

Worth it, though.

I classify it as a "mobile computer".  You aren't supposed to take it like everywhere like a netbook or laptop, but you move it when you're going to places that you may need it, i.e. boring family reunions.

That's because it's a unique machine, I've never seen another gaming netbook type thing.
