It's not the performace of an Alienware its the price. The hardware is over priced. Exe. $1000 only has 600-700 dollar hardware in it. So its much more efficent and cheaper to buy a diffrent and cheaper laptop.

Also, with that laptop, he won't be getting 60+fps on high settings at 1080p

Not everyone cares about 60fps and 1080p. I play on low res and thats because not everyone cares about graphics.

You cant get much gaming performance out of a Laptop as most of them do not have dedicated graphics cards. Though If you want a gaming laptop. Don't get an Alienware. I'd reccomend what Charliecho said. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K6Z ... =pcgaho-20
My friend used this laptop for while and he got decent frames on mid-high settings.

All though If you change your mind here is a 1k desktop build.

TheShadbusherWndows 8.1 is the cheapest and most future-proof Windows OS available. You get a free upgrade to Windows 10 (Win 7 users need to pay like $30). I don't know where you're getting that Windows 7 is cheap.
