Whudup AW fellas
I need some help deciding...
I had an area 51 m7700 in production last week but after reading posts in here i decided to cancel it and do a little more research before buying my first notebook. I think the fact that they put desktop processors in it really takes away from the whole "working" that notebooks just cant do at 435235 degrees.
I really like the alienware concept but it seems that their notebooks are still hit and miss from the extreme differences in opinions throughout these forums and elsewhere on the internet.
I need a notebook thats gonna last me 4 years of college. Id like to be playing good games at halfway decent graphics for atleast another year but the main priority is college life compatibility. I need one that is going to last an entire class period when on low settings but would like to play a some BF2 and sims 2 & others during study time (plugged in of course).
I narrowed my search down to the Dell Inspiron 6000 and the AW a51 m5500. same memory, same hard drive, same screen, AW has m780 processor, dell has m770 (hopefully those wont fry like the a51 m7700 desktop processors) the AW has a 256mb nvidia whereas the dell is at a 128 mb ati. Id go with dells 4 year warrantee as opposed to alienwares 3 year if i had a choice. the price on the dell is way down right now so id like to make my decision before the 500 dollar off dell offer goes away (the 8th)
again i need one built to last. I cant be sending it in for repairs every few months.
Any INTELLIGENT input would be appreciated (no ALIENWARE RUUUUUUUULES). Am I even looking at the right notebooks for the job? how long is the battery life on both? whos warrantee is better? which is more reliable?
thanks
