Question Posted Wednesday October 14 2009, 11:01 am
hi...i am planning to buy a gaming laptop by alienware... i customised m17x on the net according to my need and it ranged to about 2400 dollars. but then somebody recommended me to wait for a while till christmas and then buy the same laptop with some christmas. now what i want to ask is that would it be useful to wait till christmas... will i get any christmas discount or sale for alienware laptop?? and if yes then how much do u think i can save by waiting.???please help me... i have waited very long for a gaming laptop..
I didn't have the money till the beginning of October, and by then the computers had dropped a good bit in price, I got a better computer for 500 less including a coupon they had on their website (though I got an XPS desktop).
Its possible that there might be a sale, but pretty unlikely considering that we just had a parts upgrade and price drop within that company in the last month.
Also, Alienware is incredibly overpriced for the value, even if Dell has the best warranty out there. I bought an Alienware laptop as my graduation gift to myself (the dell I ordered is replacing it) and it served me pretty well, but I can tell you that a few years down the road its going to start to feel sluggish, and you can't just upgrade a part or two with it, you're going to have to shelve the whole thing and buy a new one. My two cents. [ WittyUsernameHere's advice column | Ask WittyUsernameHere A Question ]

The sales usually start on "black friday." If you aren't familiar with this then please do some searching on "black friday sales" and see what you can find out.
I can't say if AlienWare will have such a sale this year... but as a rule computers usually get less expensive as time goes by.
What is the top of the line right now may not be by the time Christmas rolls around.
When the newest models come out, the one you want may be very much less expensive.
