Which one is better? Help



Answer
>You forgot to put the HP specs here, but here it is on the net:

http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ie/en/ho/WF06b/12454-12454-3329740-64546-64546-5035344-5049796.html

My advice is not to buy the Alienware because it is a lot more expensive and the difference is just in the namebrand. The HP looks very similar and I would go with the HP instead. You can always upgrade the HP with better or different parts IF you order the computer from them on line and speak to an HP sales rep. You can do this on line with HP and chat with them on their chat site directly. HP also has good return and repair policies and a quick turn around time in case you need to RMA it for repair.

One other thing, the HP model has 8 gigs of RAM while the ALienware only has 3??? What the heck is that all about?
