<p>I found a really cheap Alienware M17X R3 laptop from Frys for 600 dollar.
The specs is really beastly, and it might fit my task.
Now, my tasks isn't just taking "notes" or anything like that.
It'll be programming video games, animations and gaming if I am not doing anything.</p>
<p>I am aware Alienware's laptop is heavy and bulky as hell however for a 600 dollar price. It's hard to pass up.</p>
<p>I know I can try to find a portable 15.6" laptop or 14" laptop that can do those tasks, but it won't have the same power as in "600" dollar category. </p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
