March 9, 201214 yr It's Bis2. It's specific to the gaming industry. I can't really describe all the things it does. French Lick Resort?
March 9, 201214 yr I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt that an HP laptop has been the single worst piece of crud I've ever bought in my adult life. It's only a step above a paper weight.
March 9, 201214 yr I can't think of a single program in the world that require you to need an AlienWare computer. They are designed and built for hardcore gaming. I have a few engineering firms I do work for who use CAD and very intensive programs and in fact I just took a new one out to an Engineer yesterday. We did load it up with Ram and it had a nice video card but its more than enough for him. Plus they're uglier than sin... Plus I'm pretty sure Dell bought AlienWare a few years back and that would scare me right off the bat. To be more clear, running the data pull is nearly the issue that getting the super-graphics to display is, and once that's done, pulling the animations.
March 9, 201214 yr I'm intrigued, can you list the specs it has when you get it..if you can. To be more clear, running the data pull is nearly the issue that getting the super-graphics to display is, and once that's done, pulling the animations.

March 9, 201214 yr if you are buying a laptop consider what you'll be doing with it for most people, a $500/$700 laptop will suffice technology is moving so fast that if you spend $1,000+ on a high-end laptop to do email, browse the web, etc you'll just be wasting your money ... in 2 years you'll need to buy a new one I have a laptop that I spend $1,000+ that I hardly use. I use my desktop daily for my work (I'm a programmer, etc) ... I use my tablet for email, entertainment, and browsing the web when away from desktop. I use the laptop when I'm away on vacation (for emergencies). If you are one that has software installed that requires a powerful system (Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, etc) than buy a high-end laptop otherwise save your money and buy something more affordable.
March 9, 201214 yr I figured I'd dredge this up from the depths...my company has ordered me a new laptop because of a new program I'll be using that requires some serious power. What can anyone tell me about Alienware laptops? That's what I'm getting. that's one powerful computer/laptop - it's mostly used for gaming I highly recommend it.
March 9, 201214 yr I have used a Mac and like it but I am going to stick PC. Let me look at the other thread and get back. Thanks everyone. Lenovo Thinkpads are physically solid. A little more money but if you want something that feels durable (and is) Thinkpads are still the best. And the trackpoint device is great.

March 10, 201214 yr that's one powerful computer/laptop - it's mostly used for gaming I highly recommend it. Our IT guys are really talking it up. I'm beginning to feel pretty excited about it. Of course I won't be doing gaming, but I'm as excited about this new program as any gamer would be about a really cool new game. :lol: I'm looking forward to getting the Alienware and getting my hands on this program and the advanced analytics I'll be able to create.
