    well in my opinion, never ever buy gaming pc from alienware, you can just customize your self with the same specs and it cost even less.

    The reason its 7k, is because its prebuilt and they're charging you for labor aswell as almost 2x the amount for the pieces in the PC.

    You can build your own PC for about..800 bucks and run any game out right now. If you want we can indeed help you out with your selection.

    Well, it's a M card.

    There are laptops on the market that have a mobile quad and a 260M GTX in a 15" platform.
    (Sets you back 2136€ at an online seller I trust with a 4GB DDR3 setup and the cheapest HD option.)

    @Laptop gfx upgrade:
    No laptop with an onboard chip will have a standardized gfx-card slot at all.
    There is no option of upgrading.

    Ive been pricing out a new machine for myself, and its coming to around 2200 CND, so around 1,800 USD? But you really shouldn't need more than 2k unless you're going for something insane like 3 video cards and SSDs in a raid array. But I build my machines myself, so I save alot of money.
