I used to be a steadfast Windows platform supporter. What better gaming platform is there?:p Before Dell acquired AlienWare I purchased one of their systems that worked extremely well for a good long time. After Dell acquired them I purchased another system. It had issues from day one and the quality of AlienWare's support managed to match the quality of the system. When you purchase a desktop replacement system to specifically run games you expect it will actually run games... Not the case this time I'm afraid.
Feel free to read here for my trials and tribulations regarding Dell/AlienWare: http://notasaintinca.blogspot.com/2007/06/review-alienware-aurora-m9700.html
As far as Apple comparisons go, I have to say that I am a big time fan of the engineering that goes into their systems. The MacBook Pro that I purchased after dealing with the AlienWare issues has been amazing at running both my MacOS as well as Windows XP under my Bootcamp partition. My games run smoother and faster than ever and Windows has been more stable than on any other machine I've ever owned...and that's been a LOT. So, am I an Apple Fanboy? You betcha!! "F" Dell/AlienWare!!
