I know that building your own computer is much cheaper than buying one pre-made, especially when buying a gaming laptop.
However, I move around overseas, and live overseas on account of my work. Currently, I live in Nicaragua for 6 months then move to somewhere different for another six months.
I also travel a lot back to the US for family visits, and those can last up to three months at a time.
I was going to buy the parts of a computer, and assemble it down here, and when I needed to move pack it up. But building it here seems so unreliable, since if I'm missing a part, something breaks and needs to be replaced, I can't go to a hardware shot here, since most shops do not specialize in this sort of stuff. And sending parts over is even worse since it most likely won't come unless you bring another $300 to send it via UPS, ect.
Currently, I have my trust worthy ASUS G75vw which is sub par as of now... and I'm looking for a computer that should last me another 7-10 years (assuming no physical damage happens).
Now, I want to ask if it's worth it. Because, when ever I search this topic most people just say;
"No, build a PC"
And personally, I want to avoid that topic and reason and look at the reasons if it's really good and worth the price if you travel like me.
So, is an Alienware 18 worth the price you pay. (Again, disregard the fact the building a computer is cheaper). Is what you get the price of what you pay?
Again, I travel a lot.
