$6100 to be trendy



For that matter though, Alienware is fairly overpriced. There is a lot of rice on those gaming computers that is simply not needed.

 

Wow, I could build a lot nicer of a computer than that for $3500!! Just put together a decent gaming system on Newegg (didn't buy it, just price checking) for all of about $600. $2000 could buy about the equivalent. No idea how you can sell something for almost 10 grand though. Eeeesh.

 

This is the way of the mac users. It's always been this way. Apple supports itself with 97% marketing and 3% innovation.

 

Our IT dept. told me that the same specs on a Mac laptop run about 1.5x more than a PC laptop with the same hardware specs.. $1,500 vs. $2,300 and there's no noticeable difference when using either after 2 years in the same job role, VM and dual boot included.

 

And thats why I've always been a PC guy.
