Falcon Northwest is one of the best in the business, and unlike Alienware, they are actually worth the money...

Nevertheless, I'd still get my next laptop through Falcon Northwest. I've bought their desktops, and again...you pay more, but you get the best.
I replaced my old Toshiba laptop recently and got a Macbook Pro 17". Went Mac because I plan to do some iPhone and iPad programming and if I need to I can run Bootcamp to run PC stuff on it as well.
Still, I dream of getting a Falcon Northwest laptop painted IBM just like my PC I got from them  |
I don't knock Alienware, but their stuff is ridiculously overpriced. I've worked with Dell for many years, and I wouldn't buy an Alienware rig with your money. I could build two gaming PC's with similar or better performance compared to the price of one of their rigs...
I absolutely concur on the Falcon Northwest bit....good stuff...
I wouldn't buy a Mac as they simply don't support 90% of the gaming community. If you're playing Facebook, World of Warcraft, and a few Steam games, you are alright.....but most of them don't support Mac....

They make good stuff, and you can get it a lot cheaper than you'd expect compared to say a Toshiba/Dell/Sony. These are gaming level laptops, not email checkers. If I wanted a laptop, I'd buy from them.
