Sentia - school, games, video editing, whats it really for?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hiya all.

I'm looking at a variety of small/medium laptop to buy. I need it for school and to run a bit older games such as, Trackmania Nations, WC3, Generals etc but still want a laptop that will be able to cope with newer games on around medium settings.

I've been looking at the sentia but im a bit concerned with Alienware. When i ordered my mALX I felt that the support is absolutely rubbish(!!!) (European service) and that the systems are way overpriced.

But whats is the Sentias main objective? MBP pro is said to last 6 hours which makes it awesome, if you could run Windows on them.

Benchmarks:




[1] Sentia™ m3450

Display: 14" WideXGA 1280 x 768 LCD with Clearview Technology and Webcam - Xeno Grey
Operating System: Genuine Windows® Vista Basic - English
Warranty: AlienCare 1-Year Free Phone 24/7 and Collect & Return
Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T5600 1.83GHz 2MB Cache 667MHz FSB
Memory: 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SO-DIMM at 667MHz - 2 x 512MB
Video Card: Integrated Intel® Media Accelerator 950 Graphics
System Drive: 80GB 7200 RPM SATA with NCQ
CD/DVD/RW: DVD-Burner: 8x Dual Layer DVD+/-RW / 24x CD-RW Combo w/Software
Sound Card: Intel® High-Definition Audio (24-bit, 192Khz) with surround sound
Keypad: Mobile Keypad - English
Communications: Integrated 10/1000Mb Gigabit Ethernet & 56K V.92 Modem
Wireless Network Card: Internal Intel® PRO Wireless 3945 a/b/g Mini-Card
Mobile Transport: Alienware® Odyssey Backpack
Portable Storage: Alienware® USB 2.0 1GB Flash Drive


and with transport that comes to 1,761€ which actually is just insane. But nevertheless i do love the Alienware brand and case.

Thing is that I would be looking at around 3k Euros for a decent laptop and a good desktop (including monitor, speakers, keyboard etc)

So, would YOU recommend me this system?
if not, could you give links to other systems with similar benchmarks?

Thanks for your time
