My old POS finally died on me last night. The network card went down, and the laptop is all but shot to death. So yestarday, after it died, I cashed that lovely $1.1k check I got from Job Corps, turned around, and I just now bought a new laptop!

It's an Asus black laptop,
4GB Ram
500GB HDD
i3 processor

I'm in love with this thing. Currently I'm re-downloading WoW with it, and that'll really tell me just how much better it is.

Sounds nifty. How much did you actually have to spend on it?

That's not bad at all for that price! Even for a laptop!

I suppose you are not gonna use it for gaming which is why I say it's a good deal. I'm sure it can play WoW like it's nothing. Even so, glad you got yourself a new computer. Did you do like I do and smell it? I always love that new computer smell!

actually yes, I did smell it XD

Old POS HP Lappy: Wow at 5-15 Frames per Second
New Asus badass lappy: Wow at 80-120 Frames per Second

And yes, I'm using it for gaming. It's not the best graphics card in the world, but I never cared about that, I can just play games at low resolution and be happy hahaha.

If you ever get enough money, Alienware is the way to go for gaming laptops.

And it's funny to see other people do the "new laptop smell" thing like I do.

Wow, I sadly have to agree with you guys about the ... smelling.

Sometimes brand new game manuals smell the best.

Im ganna have to disagree with ya on that Cryo.

I can buy a computer with the same specs as an alienware laptop for 1/3rd the price. Your litturally only buying the alien ware logo for an extra $500+.

Ewwww no. NO no no!

Alienware is overpriced garbage. Even for Laptop standards.

CyberPowerPC's cheapest model runs SC2 on Ultra at only 28FPS on this model and it's 800 bucks. With that you might as well buy a desktop computer that can run that game easily for the same price.

I mean don't get me wrong Alienware has some seriously baller warranty options that rivals the competition: Nerds who already know how to fix problems.
