SHOULD I DO SOME CHANGE IN IT.WAT DOES AVATAR MEAN.
Answer
1. Dont get a laptop for gaming. When you get tired of having a laptop for gaming and the urge to actually learn something about computers (and not be an alienware dweeb), a laptop is a total fail. upgrades are a pain and way expensive.
2. Dont get an alienware. They are total rip-offs. for desktops at least. they sell nice laptops. Get a pro tech to build you a nice desktop you can game one at highest settings. a nice $1000 desktop built right can handle any game you throw at it. if you want to future proof it, make sure you get a motherboard that supports SLI (nVidia) or Crossfire (ATI/AMD).
3. Dont get McAfee. its shit a PoS virus protection. I have tried (really, i really tested anti-virus programs to protect myself) many many anti-virus programs. from BitDefender to Norton to McAfee to Avast (and many more). the best one habds down is Sunbelt Vipre Anti-Virus. its kicks so much booty.
4. Make sure you get windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.
5. the processor in that is ok, but the whole "Turbo Boost" is for noobs. its more like crappy overclocking. i dont trust it.
I can keep going and going. but i am just saying. stop drooling over alienware. (in the computer tech forums, its for serious noobs and posers haha)
get a tech to build you a nice system and ask him if you can watch him (or her, youd be surprised, women have something to prove!), build it and give an explanation of what you are doing. I do this to my younger bros.
just dont touch the alienware unless you want a seriously mean laptop. but if you want to do some real gaming, and really be a hardcore gamer (we dont just play games), get a desktop.
EDIT: you can thumbs me down all you want, but what i say is true.

Best used/refurbished Gaming Laptop?
Brian
What is the best gaming laptop I can buy for under $300? I'll mostly be playing games such as Amnesia, Bioshock, Borderlands, Battlefield and Mirrors Edge through Steam.
Thanks!
Answer
Under $300? A gaming laptop? You can't. Not unless you find one someone is selling hot from Craigslist or such.
For $300, you should be able to get a desktop which will handle those games, although you might need to spend a bit more for a better graphics card. My guess is that you could get a refurbished desktop for about $300 and then spend another $50-$100 on a decent video card.
You will not get a laptop for that price other than a general/basic laptop, even used, that will have gaming performance. You might be able to find a gaming laptop of two or three years ago used for about $450 or $500 I would guess. Current new ones start at about $750. I just spent a few minutes looking at some previous Asus models on eBay and models from 2010 are running for $500 and up.
The two best laptop brands, other than Apple (which won't do your Windows games) are Lenovo and Asus. HP and Samsung's are about the same as Asus.

I would avoid Dell/Alienware (Alienware are far overpriced and their quality is not what it once was).
You would have to pay me to use Acer/Gateway.
I used Toshiba's for a long time with great success but they now rank at the bottom of the laptop mfgs.
