I would never recommend alienware. I called them up last week to get a price quote on a replacement part. IF something breaks you're screwed, they dont sell replacement parts and it's proprietary. The only way to get it fixed is to buy a new warantee (if allowed) so they and only they can fix it. There are 3rd party companies they refer you to, but who wants to buy aftermarket products for a proprietary computer. *shrug* Guess Alienware left a bad taste in my mouth.. just my oppinion. -Josh On March 06, 2006 at 23:48:26, Daneil Johnson wrote: >I don't know what your budget is but I would recomend going to Tiger Direct and >looking for AMD 64-bit computers that are refurbished laptops (They also sell >new computers). >http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1741024&CatId=1900 > This is a AMD 4000+ laptop and 1 gig of memory and a 100gb harddrive for >$1199.99 by Gateway. >I have a E-machines 64-bit laptop 3400+ with a 1.25 gig memory that I just love >and have had a year.
