Ok so the new job has me on about 80% travel. I need a laptop capable of playing EvE online, Fallout3 and other games while I live in Hotels throughout the US.
Size doesnt matter as I prefer desktop replacements and not machines that I have to plug in external bits (no netbooks).
looking for a quad preferably.
Nvidia GPU, nothing against ATI, but I have run into too many issues with them and Linux.
Will end up running a few VMs as well so a dual core at the least.
Im looking at a few alienware systems solely due to the warranty. I dont have to have Alienware specifically but would prefer something that will force a tech to show instead of my having to replace parts.
I have searched the forums here and really havent found exact answers so mostly I am looking for opinions on Alienware vs. HP vs. whoever else warrantywise.
Price is within reason, no real set budget, just not looking for the 15k laptop or anything.
little help?
