This is the one I just ordered. Since I work for Dell I get wicked discounts: I purchased this for $845 with their support plan and warranty. I was going to try and get an alienware, as overrated as they are, during Labor Day weekend. Dell employees get a 37% discount on approved laptops. And if you end up going to Dell's outlet site, you can find the $3500 alienwares knocked way off in the first place. In the end, you can get an alienware 18 for like 1200-1500 bucks. I didn't do that because I can credit a max of 1500 and pay out of my checks each month while not paying anything upfront. Plus, I don't game on laptops............... who does that????
