Be careful with Alienware.

If you send your laptop back to get repaired, be prepared to wait a very long time. It might even come back with the wrong parts replaced. Overall the technical support is sub-par.

Compaq has good machines and the support is great. I used to support them at work and always got an answer, driver updates, and the replacements came within a week (I'm talking business so the personal side might be different). Actually if you can manage it, get a business-line laptop. Trust me on this one - the parts and service are NO match for their personal line.

Remember, whatever you do:
It does not hurt you to keep calling them. Keep writing down the names of the people you talk to, time and a brief description of the conversation. When in doubt, ask for a supervisor.
