Yes some people list all of their machines in their sigs. Although I
have 30+ machines, so my sigs would be super long. So my sig only
changes depending on which machine I am currently on. It also helps me
if one machine isn't posting correctly. As I can see instantly which
machine I posted it on.

Yes I know Dell owns Alienware, although Dell as far as I can tell, lets
them do what they have been doing. And yes, Dell and some other major
players also make superb game machines too. But they also have non-game
machines too. Alienware only makes game machines and that is all.

Yes, most desktop games roll their own machines. Nothing wrong with that
at all. Except it makes the machine very unique and could cause lots of
compatibility problems that one must iron out. But that is part of the
fun, isn't it?

My first laptop I purchased back in '84. I really liked laptops for
portability. Although desktops were always more powerful, so I had those
too. Although I retired my last desktop in about '05 and I only run
laptops and tablets now. And almost nobody has a gaming laptop except
Alienware. Okay some, but not many. And okay, Alienware laptops which
they call them as desktop replacements doesn't get much battery life or
anything. But they are indeed portable.

Build your own laptop game machine? Yes you can indeed. Far tougher than
building a desktop game machine, but it still could be done. So I rather
buy one which already did all of the R&D. ;-)


I have no doubt you know what you are doing.
I was just pulling your leg
I've never had a gaming laptop, as throwing them is to easy.
