I honestly can not figure which is better for me. No, I'm no hardcore gamer but O do love the way alienwares are just set up. But the whole feeling of the new 13" macbook pro is just amazing. and the 13" starts at $1,199 as does the area-51 m15x. I'd like to get some more opinions on this. Once again I understand that they are two completely different systems, and OS's. _________________

Consider getting this;
http://www.frys.com/product/5960414?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
by the time you configure your alienware to the same components as this laptop, it'll be around 2.2k
While this is 1.2k. Save yourself 1000$.
& If you want mac osx, search how to install it on your pc. |

I'd go alienware. I personally do not like Mac's. |

Just do a Hackintosh if you're set on a Mac. _________________

Why don't you assemble a PC? Saves the money you give for OS. It doesn't look that cool, but who cares, you do stuff on the PC, you don't watch it the whole day. |

With a bit more searching i can get laptops w/o windows - with linux or w/o OS at all, saves money
Anyways, does Alieanware build laptops too? Never knew. |

Neither.
Buy a nice laptop, not mac or alienware, so you're actually paying for what you get, not paying for absolute bullshit.
Then load Fedora 11 on it. |

ppl that says that alienware is not worth it usually is because they don't have the money to buy one :/ ....

well the prices constantly changing is bound to happen, technology outdates itself daily. _________________
