Maximum PC

Bar none what is the current Best of the Best laptop? I want the fastest parts with the best customer service, and this babby needs to be able to 3d Game. I want Portability, Reliability, UPGRADE ability, and Pure out and out performance. Price limit is somewhere near the 4k in U.S. currency


SO....Lets hear it boys and girls whos the baddest on the block?

www.voodoopc.com

go there.

Okies went there checked it out i alsowent to alienware.com and checked there machines out which do you think is better and why ?

alienware has that little head on the back of the monitor...well, the eyes flash. i dont really like lights. but, that is personal opinion.

i hear that alienware's customer service isnt very good. voodoo is based in canada, so they are open on national holiday too (US only holidays).

based on actual parts, i would bet that voodoo is slightly better. they usually have the bleeding edge tech for the computer components.

Dell, Voodoo, Alienware, all 3 have real high performance parts and are pretty reputable.

Sager has nice components for the price, so they are also worth checking out.

WOW

I have a dell 8600 1.4 pentium m with wireless and 128 vid card 60 gig hd
I have had almost no probs with it . cust. service is ok unless you get sent to new deli then they are a bit hard to understand i dont like that. they have a new gaming machine that seems promising xps around your price range looks good and i am happy with my 8600. my other is a 7000 works still but wayyyyy out dated

id go with a voodoo

alienwear for gaming.....user upgradeable graphics....DO IT YOURSELF!

I will agree that Voodoos are nice. But they are no more than re-tagged compal, asus, and sager notebooks. Unless you want to pay an extra grand for a paintjob and software "tweaking", I would suggest a reseller like http://www.powernotebooks.com

Sager, like Eurocom, Voodoo, and Pro-Star, is also nothing more then a re-tagged Clevo. Sager does not make their own notebooks.

Ah! Thank you for the enlightenment I always thought sager made their own.

I'd go with Systemax.. they do make their own... and have great customer support....
they have been around longer than Dell,Gateway all the biggies, just not in the private sector, they are relatively new to the public (10 years)
I would check them out before considering the others......

Systemax = Over 14 years in business

Dell = Over 20 years in business

Check both vendor's websites, you'll find my numbers accurate

Um yes you are right about the consumer end of it.... at systemaxpc.com, I said over 10 years in public/consumer end....
but if you goto the actual systemax site, the Investor Relations site for corporate systemax etc, you will find a little more info....
systemax.com

Throw in Hypersonic-PC as well. They have pretty high reseller ratings. Falcon NW with their Fragbook DR is in the power laptop game as well.

However, most of these guys (voodoo, hypersonic, and sager) are all selling the same chassis with different paint and some variety of parts. It all comes down to price and whose customer service you like best.

However, regarding Alienware, a check of their forums and some other notebook-specific forums shows that their user-upgradable graphics concept has not worked quite the way most hoped.
