http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...146&CatId=4935 This is a nice ASUS laptop $1300 has the nicest i7 cpu Nvidia 460m etc take a look. The nice thing about the ASUS laptops is they do not get hot as a lot of other laptops do. The
REALLY REALLY nice feature about ASUS is it also comes with a special warranty at no additional cost to you.
If the laptop gets damaged accidentally in the first YEAR, if you drop it, spill coffee on it, accidentally run it over with your car etc etc they will replace it for you no charge. They also take care of the shipping costs both ways, no cost to you at all. That is a awesome warranty in my opinion and would be a major purchase decision. Alienware has a standard one year warranty as well, tech support etc all the same, but I do not know of another warranty that you do not even have to pay for that will replace the whole laptop because you destroyed it. Just another option for you to consider, one that I would consider a major item to think about. Good luck in your purchase decision! Either way you are going to have a nice laptop
