[quote name='xcopy']Do not buy anything from iBuypower or Cyperpower PC. They probably pick up illegals from the street and get then to build their systems. Their systems are complete shit.
Check their reseller rating and their forum and you'll know what I mean.
If you want a cool laptop get a Sager NP9280, Sager NP9850 or an Alienware M17x.
You may want to compare prices between the 3 and see which one you'll like.[/QUOTE]
I am drooling over those Sagers but they are out of my budget because this is an unexpected cost that I am already having a hard time swallowing the cost. The M17x is definitely in the price range but after seeing some of the other suggestions I would be paying too much.
[quote name='Hydro2Oxide']I would also dodge ibuypower, crap systems. Alienware is over priced by far, I'd suggest just buying something off Newegg.
Asus makes some decent machines, here's one
from Best Buy. This one is also a good choice. Sorry for the cheesey looking graphics on the lid though.[/QUOTE]
I can't believe Best Buy even carries these laptops at these prices and I could definitely feel better about paying less and not dipping so much in my savings.
[quote name='RAMSTORIA']id check out newegg. with alienware youll just over pay. check out something like this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220538
$1800, if you can get a computer with alienware for that price and specs ill eat my socks.[/QUOTE]
You don't have to eat your socks but you would be surprised at how much the alienware laptops have dropped. I remember when you had to drop more than 2 grand to get even a decent one. That newegg one does look amazing and is in my price range.
Thank you everyone else that came to help out a CAG. I am still doing research and I will definitely look at these more closely and stay as far as way as possible from Ibuypower/Cyberpower pc after reading their ratings.
