    @zhanning Lol no offense but where did you hear that? I work with computers (fixing, building and teaching people how to work with them) and I can tell you now that however overpriced Alienware's may be, they are better that the Acer AS77 series. They can handle more punch.

    Also, why the heck did you recommend him to get a laptop?

    If he wants to play games then obviously (and I mean obviously) get a desktop and not a laptop.

    Trust me when I say that I know what I am talking about. I fail at a hell of a lot of things but with computers, I don't.

    Allienware laptops are the best if you wanna play as you go, since they're gaming and got some pretty damn good graphic cards, and they're basically built for gaming.
    Desktop if you just want to relax at home, and play. I recommend anything with Nvidia GForce GTX 450 or higher, since its got a high pixel shader, and everything else. I'm not familiar with AMD Radeon HD Cards so I don't have much to say on that. As for the GHz(gigaherts) you want something at least 2.9 or higher. For RAM at least 2GB or higher, but I recommend 4GB for better gameplay.

    Well it depends what processor he will get because if it's an Intel processor then he is better off going with an Nvidia Graphics card because they communicate better with the processor, this is the same with Radeon and AMD processors. The price difference between the GTX 450 and the GTX 550 Ti isn't a great deal so he'd probably be better off going with that to be fair.

    I'm not good with processors.
    But I guess your right.
    Laptops got advantage for on-the-go gaming.
    Computers got advantage for a more actual gaming experience( lets put it that way. )

    I definitely agree with that, try playing on-the-go with a desktop.

    Personally, I think all pre-built machines are dreadful. However, you do get an exceptional warranty when you purchase a machine from Dell.
