    Good laptop?

    I'm going to order an alienware m18x laptop and I'm just wondering if these computer parts would boost my laptop to be strong enough to sustain a game like Crysis on max settings, these are the games I want it to work with:
    WoW, Crysis, Crysis 2, BFBC2, Brink, BO, MW2, Aion, DCUO, Crasher, LoL, BF2, SOCOM, & Dragon Nest. (All on max settings & 1900 x 1000 / max resolution)
    These are the laptop details ( with the parts );

    Easily. Mabey get a 2TB HDD rather than a 250gb ssd.
    If you need me you have my skype, if you don't have my skype then you don't need me.

    Why get a 2TB HDD if you dont need any storage? 250GB SSD should be enough for those games or get another HDD if you run out of space, SSD is just too good to pass.

    2Tb only gives 1 HDD with regular speed whereas the 256gb comes with 3 & 3gb/s speed.

    250gb hard drive will massivly increase performance. I had a 1TB hard drive which cost £70 and then i purchased a 128gb hard drive for windows later on and id wish i had bought it elier. But that should run crysis 2 fine.

    My inner nerd did a sex wee... that machine will easily cope with those games..

    You are stunded by storage but seriouesly, get an external HDD (if the laptop supports usb3 even better if not get a cheap NAS/media streamer if thats your thing), SSD is the future... if not a little small and pricey ATM.

    In summary, DING DONG thats a nice laptop...
