im looking at buying a laptop and ive heard good and bad about alienware mostly that there overpriced am i better off buying an asus or a different brand

Start with what you want to do: Are you looking for a gaming laptop, a coding laptop, something else?

[dudwasup]

a coding laptop i dont know do i need any amazing hardware or would a core duo do the job or would i need an i3 i5 ect

[WingedPanther]

I do coding and gaming on a single core laptop. Compile times tend to depend more on CPU speed than number of cores.

I use this: Vostro V13 Laptop | Dell Linux, no upgrades.

dells are pretty bad though hp are worse

What do you guys like?

[opwuaioc]

Can't say I have a favorite. Laptops are always a bitch because of their internal structuring, but Dell in general has been a let down. My gf is getting another computer soon, not sure on what we'll decide for her.

On a side note, I have friends and family who are happy with their Qosimo laptops. They do look cooler than these flimsy Inspirons.
