I was planning on buying a notebook which would fulfill my gaming requirments as well as the fact that I would not have to atleast replace it for an year or so... Now I checked out the price tag and with the highest spec i can get my hands on it for $2890.. Now if there was someone who could actually guide me whether I should go for some other laptop of a different band which would stand equal to Dell's XPS gen 2 but at a lower price, if not equal it should atleast go hand to hand with it. Can anyone please recommend me a a less expensive and better option. Thanks....
