Alienware is WAY overrated! I have two Area-51 laptops and they both have been pieces of crap. Countless hardware issues and slow technical service. I know several others who have had similar encounters with their Alienware computers. They look nice, other than that, they SUCK!\n\nDON'T BUY AN ALIENWARE COMPUTER!

Yea dude, I was looking for a lap top that had a lot of memory and was super fast.  My tech guy at work said that I would need something that is suitable for gaming and if I wanted a laptop it would cost me about 2500-3000.  Instead I bought the latest model Gateway 2g hard drive, dual processor CPU for 800.  It's the shiznit.

do not just judge by the looks. first of all if ur looking cheap its:dell. if it can a bit more "complex" it should be toshiba. The Toshiba is one of the leading companies in selling laptops and my self am using a Toshiba satellite P35-S605. it gives me power (3.46Ghz) with pentium 4 processor. If ur looking for quality:Toshiba. If your looking for cheap:dell.

for the best value/performance ratio, i suggest you try checking out aldi or lidl... i know it sounds crazy, but they actually use good quality components from well-known manufacturers such as pioneer and samsung... you don't end up spending money on a brand name.\n\ni got my laptop from lidl about 18 months ago and it was as good a spec as anything out there - and it's still up there, no problems whatsoever.\n\nit also has a three year guarantee, which dell will charge several hundred quid for...\n\notherwise,  toshiba machines are generally regarded as being very reliable. \n\nof course, if you're not doing a lot of gaming, pretty much any laptop will do the trick nowadays. i would advise against a laptop with shared graphics memory however...\n\ntry and get one that has its own dedicated graphics card and video memory...

Buy the most powerful model you can afford.  Screen width is not as important as processor type and speed, and ram.

if you want a small one, Dell 710m. It is only about 4-5lbs. fast, and reliable. good support.

Depends on what you call economical!!!\nyou can try the HP nx 6325, this notebook is a wonderful piece!! and it has a DVCD+/- RW Writer and a dual core processor!! ie the blazing fast AMD Turion 64 X2, and 512 MB of DDR2 533 MHz RAM which you can ( or possibly SHOULD) upgrade to 1 GB of DDR2 800 MHz RAM!!
