Hello again guys & gals!
Its been a while since I've posted much here of late.....been lurking occasionally, but not much. Anyway, hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year. Mine was okay, up until 5th January when I got back home to discover that my house had been burgled and ALL my computing stuff had been robbed.....my AW14, my Dell U3011 monitor....everything. I'm typing this on a borrowed piece of poop HP laptop.
Anyway, been dealing with the insurers about it all and got a call the other day about replacements and the guy says to me "Sir, this is the proposed replacement for your laptop....it's an Alienware 15....blah blah" and I'm like "Wut??.....Dell don't even make a 15 incher any more!!" - it was then I hopped on to the 'puter and found out about this new 15 and 17.
I can't say I am enamoured with either, because as I see it, they are ALL sporting BGA filth for GPU and CPU :confused: - what the hell, Dell?????? - I don't even see an option (in the UK) for a 980m on the 15.....
I guess one good thing about this crappy scenario is that my insurers have offered a cash alternative.
Must admit, I am in a bit of confusion of what to do exactly....I'm not up on things like I once used to be.....don't game as much as I used to but still like to have a decent machine.
What would you guys suggest I consider as an alternative? - any recommendations welcomed
Regards,
Steve. :)
