Default alienware laptop

Hello everyone. I am planning on getting an alienware laptop...i was thinking maybe one of the sentia series or an area-51 laptop. They are a bit pricy for me though, seeing as i dont exactly make that much money. does anyone know a website or store where I can get an alienware for less than they nomally are or where I can get some other brand of laptop that is equal to alienware for less? please let me know! thanks

Alienware laptops are really desktop replacements.

I dont think you can customize or buy Alienwares anywhere else but from them.

What is your budget?

Try Dell or Hp laptops they are definitly nice and you can get some pretty powerful stuff from them. They are definitly cheaper.

If you are not looking for the looks of an Alienware.. pretty much anywhere you can probably find the same setup of that Alienware. Just look at the specs of the Alienware and shop around the internet for something in your price range.

also as a side note, my cousin has an alienware laptop, and with his you can't power it up unless it is plugged into an outlet, battery only lasts about half an hour too. We nick named it the "Nut Roaster"

Like posted above, check the specs and find a laptop elsewhere. Alienware is mainly a name brand youre paying extra money for. You can get equal specs elsewhere for cheaper, unless looks are that important to you.

What do you plan to use your laptop for? School work? Internet Browsing/Email? Video Editing? Gaming?
