I just checked alienware and the only laptop that can have equal graphics card is the most expensive on and when you toggle on the settings for everything else it costs more than this computer so currently I think toshiba is a bargain!
Alienware has now released a new laptop that blows the others out of the water, you get so much and added up with the shipping it’s still only ,864.97!
