I'm in the market for a gaming laptop. I understand that Desktops are far superior for this purpose and that is my main rig. However I want one to play some games on the couch while I sit with my wife.
I have always heard that alien ware is overpriced but after research on the m14x and others, specifically the Lenovo y500 Ideapad, I can't seem to justify this claim. I'm not trying to strong head a point here, I think I might be missing something. The stats I got for the money were very close, and typically better with the alienware.
note: Lenovo did have a better cost at the time of looking because of a weekly deal, but it ends today and I won't be able to purchase in time for the deal. The base costs however are what I'm considering.
This is in part because I seem stuck with specific configurations with lenovo and others, while with alienware I am free to customize to the degree I like and make use of the cost better. This is also in part because I don't see the need for an SSD on a laptop that would be worth sacrificing more memory, If I had two monitors that would be a different story.
TLDR: when I cook the configurations, I seem to get just as good if not a better value and price with alienware as opposed to others, in particular lenovo. This is to the contrary of what I have always read and heard. Am I missing some superior choice or way of looking at it?
