1. Phew! that is some spec. I notice you have cleverly not mentioned the make. At that price, unless it has got "Sony" written on it, I'd say no. There is NO laptop worth that. You could probably get a tower, same spec for about 700 For the benefit of american viewers, this is 3608 dollars- an awful lot for a laptop?
2. you gone a bit copy paste mad mate, But no is the answer, not worth it
3. Alienware is overpriced and in my mind overrated. yes this is a good system but for the price... Nah :)
4. No, unless your a real gamer. This computer is totally over priced even if I convert it Canadian$. Write down what purpose you would use the computer for. If minimum requirements are needed the set a base price at 400 to 600.
5. Alienware is way over rated, also if your not a dell person you won't like alienware as dell now own alienware. For about $1100, not sure for your currency, you can get this laptop from Gateway, which i have and it has played all my games fine, 2.26ghz intel core 2 duo 4 gb ddr3 ram 320gb 7200rpm hdd 17" Widescreen monitor Nvidia Geforce 9800M GTS with 1gb ddr3 dedicated video memory. It's the gateway fx p-7805u, if you read about it you hear of some overheat problems due to the gpu, but if you get a cooling pad, like i have, you can run fine, also the gpu is known to run hotter, I found out on a website, that overclockers had theirs running at 60-70C and mine runs at tops 40c not overclocked so no worries there.
