The reason I've never owned a nice one despite my perverse laptop-lust is entirely monetary. I could never convince my parents to get me one, and sacking groceries only yields so many Benjamin’s. Since then my reasons have included collage and my desktop PC. So I thought "Hey, who buys these things anyway? I mean, I'm as average as the next guy. Sure I'm more devastatingly handsome and virile than the next guy, but money-wise I'm as average as toast", so are gaming laptops even worth the extra thousand or so dollars so I can take it to a friends house, or the local WiFi-enabled coffee hut?

After heaven bestowed upon me this quest and the angelic music silenced I went directly to where laptop gods are born... Alienware.



As far as I was concerned Alienware laptops were a myth. You'd hear things like "My cousin said his friend has one" or "I thought I saw a guy in the airport with one", I personally had never known anyone who actually owned one. I figured if we were going to prove the need for gods, we might as well start on Mt. Olympus. So I e-mailed Alienware and had them send me the best of their best.
