Notes: the dell XPS has SSD intergrated but witht he other two i expect to can the HHD to SSD and am expecting to pay about 400
I am more then likely going to buy the HP becuase unlike the Alienware it does not weight a tone and has just as good spec and is cheaper. I do like the finger print reader i still think is cool
and finally what do you think about the GeForce GT 230 for the hp because it has not been tested that much and can not find and reviews on it
Many thanks Paul
I'm stopping at the HP because that's the one I just purchased. There's a free upgrade to 6Gb RAM too. I'm quite impressed with the machine and runs all my apps including heavy gaming quite well.
Cheers!
Which Laptop would you choose and why HP, Alienware, Dell?
