Alls I am sayin' is, if you're not a college student, on the go 24/7 or bring it to work, why bother? You can save a lot of money buying parts for a tower yourself, and when something goes wrong you can fix or replace anything you need to without fear of voiding manufacturer warranties. I could see it being useful waiting at the dentist/doctor/anywhere you wait. but for $1000+???

My old buddy bought-well his mother bought him a fully loaded, every bell and whistle possible Alienware M17X. After tax it was almost 3 grand. To top that off withen the first 6 months it started having memory problems, SSD problems(I think one failed), fan problems and constant GPU overheating causing the thing to crash constantly not even under load. It once crashed browsing funnyjunk due to overheating. Essentially it ended up as a $3000 tray to roll joints over. To top that off I built a $1120 rig after tax that performed better. Thats $1900 left over to spend on god knows what. GTX 780s on 780s maybe. 800gb SSDs? Who knows???
Mind you I do know that the market has more reliable brands than Dell overcharging but I still view it as a total waste.
Finally I say this. If you're really going to spend over $1000 on a computer to play video games on... Are you really going outside, you dirty lil' neckbeard? *scratches neckbeard* *tips fedora*
