I am looking to buy a new laptop for gaming and performance. Is it worth the $1000+?
XDA Premium RAZR
NO!
Bro, an Alienware is NEVER worth it.
You can get those specs at lower price, they charge too much for that chasis.
total rip off IMHO
Any ideas for what I should get? $1000 is my limit.
XDA Premium RAZR
Build your own.
Alienware is terrible! the battery life in the laptop is awful!

yep, you can call dell and the rep will even build you a business model with same specs for much less. Like apple, you're paying alot for that alien head.

No sir, no sir. Dell used to be grand, but they can and will build you a machine that will get slower and slower due to bloat and unnecessary processes as time goes by.
If you have $1K I'd recommend you go to a local builder and have them do the job. Most will give free on-site repairs for a least two years after purchase.
No! Buy something else! Alienware is overpriced!

Dell owns alienware and you call dell to order an alienware computer. That's why I said he could call them. And by your argument, every manufacturer is going to build a computer that is will bog down over time because of bloat. Which that in itself is crazyness. How in the hell is preinstalled programs going to make your machine slower over time. Aaaaaaaand you can uninstall them by going to the control panel > uninstall/install programs.
..........wow......

Also, I say you can call them and the rep will build you a business platform machine with the same specs at a severe cut in price is because that's exactly what I did way back long time ago. I called looking into getting an alienware and inquired why the same specs on other models are so lower in price. He said he didn't know, but if I want to know a tip, he could find and "build" similar speced business model for much much less. Only diff is the ugly case.
Meh, not worried about what can and can't be removed. My phone is one thing since we haven't gotten to the point that you can run down the street and have a local builder fab up a phone for you, but on the PC end I'd do it myself for a desktop or have a laptop built.
I will concede that the Dells we have in our college labs run pretty much without issue as schools tend to specify exactly what comes onboard and nothing more is allowed, so perhaps having them build something to spec would work fine.
Well if you're into under 15" laptops, here's a thread that compiles the laptops that fit into that category and also have some gaming capability.

***PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK IF YOU VIEW***I know most of you on here know all ths stuff already, but this is my post i'm broadcasting on the various forums i am a part of. anyone that is interested, don't hesitate to pM or post, this is no joke or scam or anything, just trying to get this thing gone. don't be afraid to offer, whats the worse that could happen?***
This is one of AT&T's flagship phones. In my opinion, this is the best phone available one the market today, beating the Xperia X1, iPhone, etc.
I've always been a phone freak, and I do EXTENSIVE research before purchasing a new one. I've been dealing with HTC phones for over 3 years now, and I've never had a desire to go with another company. I love windows mobile and all the cool things you can do with it. The list of programs and applications is endless.
The phone has a GPS receiver built right into it, and I loaded TomTom 7 on it, making it a fully functional GPS unit. It also features a 3.2MP camera with a super bright flash, built in FM tuner, business card reader, mp3 player, picture and video viewer, and lots of other great things. Windows Mobile 6.1 works flawlessly on this phone, thanks to the OEM HTC ROM I flashed on this FUZE, essentially making it a HTC Touch Pro.
The new Touch Flo 3D interface is something to behold. This phone is absolutely beautiful, from it's high resolution VGA screen to its "diamond cut body" and perfect form factor.
I bought this phone for over $500, and I have to say, it was worth every penny. I'm selling it cheap, so don't miss out on this sweet oppurtunity. Thanks alot for reading, and happy buying.
Please no low balls, I'd prefer cash but may consider trades. I accept paypal and money orders. Due to my low feedback, I will work with you as far as shipping arrangements go. I will provide contact information upon payment, and provide confirmation numbers and information upon receiving.
Pictures!

Why would you sell if you love it this mutch? Dunno if this forum is designed for selling Phones.
i need cash quick.. got in a pretty bad car accident and I have zero transportation, gotta pay my car insurance. I bought a piece of **** car for $300, and i don't think it would be cool to have a cell phone that is worth more than my car.

whoops.... good catch, thanks man
personally,
I am in London atm,
I got the touch pro,
I like it but it is too slow,
the performance just loses against other phones..well, not the price!
it is a great phone none the less, but would really prefer a blackberry tbh...
So I sent my Nexus7 back....what happens to the £15 play store credit?
I purchased it from Dixons and not google directly. Does anyone know what happens to this credit?
(p.s. for those interested in why I sent it back, simply put its a pile cow dung. No competition to the iPad)

You do realize its meant to be a Kindle Fire killer right? Although personally, the iPad sucks compared to the Nexus 7.
Anyway, since its linked to your Google Account, you probably keep it.

GUYZ! WHY DOES THIS TABLET I BOUGHT FOR $200 NOT SEEM AS GOOD AS THE ONE I BOUGHT FOR 400????!!!?! I DON'T GET IT??!!
Seriously? Regardless I think this tablet is much better than any iPad I've used. (Maybe not the IPad 3). But still the software crushes.

I heard they are fixing this/catching up to the rest of the world in iOS 6, but FFS...you do two things in e-mail. Type message and send ****. Took Apple till 2012 to figure that out?
That's just one of about 500 issues as to why the iPad sucks worse than the G1 running Donut. Let's not even bring the Nexus 7 into the picture...that's just not fair for Apple.

Its all subjective my friend. I like the iPad a lot, but I also like the n7 a lot. Its a different type of like. They both have their own strengths and weaknesses. To me its Apples and Oranges.
Whoever called this an iPad killer, felt that a 7inch display is all they want and need in a tablet. Some people want that retina display and 10" screen for movies and photo editing. Some want the n7 for reading and browsing. Its all subjective and built for two different needs. For the money, I believe the n7 is great. A little problem here and there is common in almost all electronic devices.

I KNEW IT! I knew Apple was in the Android game. Look at them, doing what they do best. Taking everything in the world, and changing 2-3 letters, and making it their 'own'. Oh Apple, you so sneakz.
Inb4 Apple sues THL for making phones that look like other phones and do things other phones already do and then adds those things so their phone can do it too.
They patented copyright and patent-infingement, only Apple can duz that.
Technology Happy Life.
That's priceless. HTC should change their name to that.
I wonder if HTC or Samsung would go after them for these.
Lol, nice find.
The 'thL' logo even resembles that HTC logo from the bootloader.
No LTE
It's even funnier that you can buy them in bulk for a discounted price. LOL
274 for a 5 inch 1080p dual sim unlocked semi stock 4.2 android quad core clocked at 1.2ghz and micro sd? uhm honestly thats a great deal lol and it looks pretty good for the price imo
I wonder how reliable these are they would make a killing of i imported some and sold them on cl for 75 to 100 more than what i pay for

They're not once you realize that:
A. The CPU is actually terrible
B. The screen is awful despite being 1080p.
C. The software is buggy (even their screenshots have errors in the notification tray!)
D. You get essentially ZERO support from them, and in broken English!
Are all the reviews there shills?
If they aren't then these may not be half bad if you're ok with probably noisy pictures, 3G, a 2000 mAH battery (that's terrible for a 5") and pretty much (at least, I would expect) no support.
As for shipping, I found this
how much total cost i spend to receive this phone to my country and do you receive payment with paypal from indonesia?
Dear verdy,
Hello.
1.It will cost $11.6 by Register Air Mail .And the total is $261.59
2.You can pay with Paypal, Western Union/Credit card.
Thanks for your requirement.

hey, for unlocked (decent) smartphone this is a freakin great deal. for someone who wasnt as big a phone geek as myself it would be an incredible device. i dont care how "bad" the proccessor is, dollars to value wise this is amazing. nice find.
Damn, i accidentally dropped on to the tile floor and landed on the corner... R.I.P. (2012-2013) my trusty N7. Now i am facing a new problem: a new tablet. I am tempted to buy an ipad as it may partially replace my laptop on certain school days. however the 32gb grouper is only $250 here, also a good buy. what should i do?

You can buy 32gb Groupers for $199 now since most places are lowering them, I guess, in preparation for the new model.
I have a brand new 32gb sitting in a box downstairs. I guess I'll sell both and buy a new one, if its worth it.

Because apple is better. NO. Because here in Australia good android tablets are as hard to find as it is easy to find iPads. There really aren't many choices things like n10 is just to complicated to obtain. That's why, if I am given a CHOICE, I will choose android every time, but here there isn't any choices.

Which iPad? The 4 is hardly a bad tablet-- I was thinking of trading in my iPad 3 (the performance bump from the 3 to the 4 is really quite nice), but ultimately didn't have time to go in today and the promotion is over. Honestly, I like it more than any of my Android tablets because the thing is rock solid no matter what, but I do a lot of my tinkering on my Android tabs so it's at least partially my fault.
I would wait and acquire the nexus 7 second generation.

I don't think they're terribly innovative at all... but they do make a seriously great smartphone. I've owned every iPhone since the 4, and will continue to do so because of how awesome they are. I really feel bad for all the blind iHaters. They're missing out on some amazing tech.
I've been waiting ages for an iPhone with a decent sized screen. Can you imagine iOS gaming on a 5.5" screen? I pitch a tent just thinking about it.
That's one area where Android just pales in comparison to iOS. Gaming.

Eh, even the mini can be too big and cumbersome for a lot of games. Both of these new iPhones are going to be gaming powerhouses. I'm still torn on which size to get. I really want the 5.5" but considering I had to sell my OnePlus One because it was too big, I might not be able to manage it... though I might make an exception for the iPhone and just deal with it.
