    ok I cant decide between these 2. I want to be able to play games at the maximum and be able to do work also. I play all the latest games and im willing to spend around 3500$ so both of these are good choices. I found some good buys for the dell xps m170 on ebay for about 500$ less than the website deal. I was going to get the pentium m 2.26 ghz processor for the dell and the 7800 GTX video card. Not really sure what Processor i was going to get for alienware ( maybe 4400+ duel core).... anyway which of these is better ( customer support, processor between 4400 vs pentium m 2.26 ghz) which laptop is less likely to die after a year... thanks for the help.

    NEVER BUY ALIENWARE!!!
    Fair warning my friend, they ship defective systems over 90% of the time. With a purpose to take more of your money with a "F-U have a nice day".

    Go for Dell! ;)
