Hey there!
So I was thinking about getting a new gaming laptop and the one I have been looking at is Alienware 18, but I heard it has a pretty bad battery and is pretty bulky. Also, its $4,500 currently, and I don't have that much money.
tl;dr: I want a good gaming laptop that's not that expensive but runs well

Thanks for all the suggestions guys
I am going to look through them and choose the ones I feel will run best.
Keep bringing in suggestions if you have any

Have you considered a mini-itx build?
He already has a desktop, and you can't exactly put a monitor on your lap......
Laptop-wise I would go for an MSI Apache Pro or an Asus ROG laptop, and the Razer Blade is decent also but more expensive.

Either an Asus or a Razor, they both are good for gaming.
Alienware <3 Ignore dem perople!
They are overpriced and as op said he can't afford one. They are terrible deals.
Totally agree, never used Alienware but I've seen so many goddamn poor results of them.
i recommend you also to not get a laptop from them.

Also, if you're getting a gaming laptop, prepare for bulkiness.
For laptops, Asus or Lenovo. Dell is also good in some cases.
I currently own and would recommend the Lenovo Y510p

It works very well and is only ~1300.

can you get a desktop?
I already have one but I am looking for something more portable
Rule #1 of buying a computer for gaming: Never Alienware. They are overpriced and overheat easily. One I recommend is http://goo.gl/ktG9tW. Good ASUS laptop for gaming.
It looks good! I am going to consider it. Thanks for telling me about the Alienware. It seems like reviews seem to miss out on the overheating.
Except I haven't tried Windows 8 yet. Is it good?

I suggest Lenovo, or Asus for laptops. But I'd recommend a desktop, but as you have one, that'd be useless.
And Windows 8/8.1 is amazing. Much faster than any other OS before it. It can be a pain to get used too at first, but within a few hours of use, you'll have it down pat. It's not a lot different than 7, once you play with it a bit.
