What do you think of the Alienware Dell Gaming Laptop?
Question by dan G: What do you think of the Alienware Dell Gaming Laptop?
I want to get one really bad, but I wonder about the keyboard and mouse setup… I’d probably have to use external keys and mouse. It seems like all laptops, when used for gaming, kind of cramp up your hands and it’s hard to both move with the pad and the keys at the same time.
Or is this laptop somehow different, and easier to use for games that require both mouth and keys to play?
Also, how is the performance? Is it worth the money? Can you really have a good gaming laptop?

Not a bad choice if you must buy a pre-built system. However, you are going to get a lot more bang for your buck if you have someone build you a custom system (or build the custom system your self if you possess the skills)
The Dell Gaming laptop has a nice big keyboard. You might be alright with it if your hands are smallish, but if they are big you are going to want the full size keyboard.
Remember, you always get more bang for your buck out of a tower than out of a laptop. If the system is going to be mainly used for gaming, then you should probably get the tower and forgo the laptop. Spend the 300 bucks on a net book if you must. But if gaming is a secondary function, and you really need the laptop for school or something, well, you could do a lot worse.

It will be a great choice if you have a good budget. The performance is the best in gaming of course. About keyboard and mouse, most gamers wanna to use their favourite but this is a minor issue.

One advantage about the Alienware laptop keyboard is that they usually (thought not always) come with the numeric keypad. Also, the keyboards on the newer ones light up. Still, if you’re going to be using it for gaming, I would recommend getting an ergonomic keyboard, as it seriously lowers your chances of getting carpal tunnel syndrome, along with an ergonomic mouse. I know that you can’t always take them on the go with you, but just using it at home will help. But these laptops were designed to be desktop replacements (which is why they can be a little heavy) so yes they are worth the money for such a powerful and portable machine. The specs are customizable, but many of them are high enough to make a good gaming computer for years to come. They are perfect for gaming.
