Now you'd think a big name like dell would be able to do something simple like provide a laptop that acutaly works, especialy when you are paying £1,300 for an alienware laptop.

well unfortaly for me the carn't within 3 days of using the laptop it crashes and blue screens, now if you wake it up from sleep mode it crashes at the log in screen.

so I call tech support because I couldn't fix the problem and turns out 3 of the drivers hadn't been installed the the tech guy tried ittalling the drivers but after installing them, yes you guessed it the laptop still don'nt work right

so in short if the best route is to stay away alienware and do what the masses say and build your own, whitch is what I should of done in the first place ( but seeing as im not to handy with computers I should of asked someone to do it for me)

so thanks dell for the shitty aleinware laptop just what I wanted for Christmas.

I have a Dell Inspiron and i'm not very satisfied with it. I've bought it roughly 2 years ago, somewhere before the New years eve 2010, and i had my motherboard changed 2 months ago because it died after i put it in hibernate.

Don't go for gaming laptops like Alienware or Razer, just get an Asus or a Samsung laptop for 1,300 pounds and you're on the go.

Yeah it took my Dell Vostro about a month of replacing components before they decided it would just be easier to send me out a replacement laptop...

Haha the new one is fantastic though, well except the switchable AMD card wouldn't be used for OpenGL for some reason for the first 6 months.
