Default anyone with Alienware?

I want a new laptop. looking around I see that Alienware seem to have really pricey laptop compared to slightly less spec'd out ones from Toshiba or HP.
is it worth it? Is there a reason?
I don't game or do anything intensive.
But I want a cool laptop. However, if Alienware lasts much longer I may be incline to spend the $.

I have an HP Envy. I love it. Look into one of those, Alienware did not compare price-wise.

With Alienware, you're paying a lot for a fancy outer shell.

Spend half as much and get a Toshiba or other like-specced lappy.

My bro in law got the new M17 one for $1200. I think Best Buy screwed up though. Its a very nice laptop for the money. Huge and Heavy for better or worse.

If you are looking for performance and reliability, go with the Toshiba Qosmio. It has done me good so far.
