Alienware deal

[Joshct]

Hi,

i'm considering buying a laptop for light gaming, (Lol at friends, wow when i eventually inevitably fall back into it, a few steam games etc) and wondering how this compares to what else you can get for the money? under £1,000.


English Windows® 7 Home Premium (64 BIT)
3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM (6MB Cache, up to 3.4GHz w/ Turbo Boost 2.0)
2GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 675M
6144MB (1x2GB + 1x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3 Dual Channel
500GB 7,200rpm SATA 3Gb/s HDD
17.3" WideHD+ (1600 x 900 ) WLED LCD
DVD+/-RW (Read/Write)
Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 2230 with Bluetooth 4.0
Primary 9 cell Li-Ion Default Base Battery
Anti Virus Not Included
1 yr Next Day In-Home Hardware & Premium Software Phone Support
No Accidental Damage Protection
Alienware M17x Stealth Black

I know the screen resolution isn't 1920x1080 however it's better than my last laptops 1366x768... and would only help the gpu by not having to push out as much? Any thoughts on if this is a fair deal? / what else could be had for under 1k elsewhere?

EDIT cut out exact price when i realised.

Oooh i wasn't aware of the outlet until you mentioned it, little google pointed me to it..

I've always been somewhat averse to B grade / refurbed, thinking something might of happened to it by previous owner though... pretty sure that would nag at me...

Thanks for pointing out though, i'll seriously consider
