So 4 days ago I ordered an Alienware M11x. Hopefully it will replace my desktop. The thing is, I always thought it was liberating to have a laptop (or at least a powerful one). There is something very liberating about carrying a small machine that can do everything a bulky desktop could do. I was told that no matter how good the laptop, performance-wise, the desktop will always be better at half the cost. This maybe true but you can’t always carry that huge thing everywhere! And for my purposes I don’t think I could tell the difference. At first I was going to save up for an HP Envy, but then I couldn’t resist the deal when I saw that the alienware laptop was about $500 off. With that said here are the specs I put on my laptop.

To some of you that’s probably a bunch of mumbo jumbo, but that’s okay, half of it was mumbo jumbo to me too. I just wish it would come faster…I’m so anxious to get it!
