Whats the difference between an alienware laptop and an alienware pc?

kegman18: Whats the difference between an alienware laptop and an alienware pc?
I’m thinking of buying a Alienware Aurora(PC) or an Alienware Mx15 (laptop). I have an Acer aspire but, its not enough. I’m a gamer and I need higher gaming performance. I play varies of PC games on my laptop but, its not a gaming laptop. I play World of Warcraft (Yeah its a little minty) and my laptop just doesnt do it.

Well, one’s a laptop and the other’s a desktop. For future reference, a laptop also qualifies as a “PC” (Personal Computer)… what you mean was a “desktop” vs a “laptop”.

Anyway, a laptop’s only advantage is that it’s portable. For all other things (performance, upgradability, cost, customizability, etc) a desktop is better.

Um… one is a notebook/laptop and the other is a desktop computer.

The Alienware line has made both classes very similar in features for gaming so it’s really a matter of portability as in Does the person want to carry their notebook or not? If not, then a desktop option is available!

Gamers tend not to use “general” computers or laptops for the public but one made Specifically for gaming which requires high-end computer parts which jacks up the price of the computer!

So… Do you want to carry your notebook or not?

Remember that it’s easier to upgrade a desktop so you can keep it longer for several more years than it is to upgrade a notebook!
