I want to build an Alienware gaming laptop (for playing and recording Minecraft) but I have a budget of around $1500. I've searched online for opinions but they vary a lot. Can someone help me please?
I want to build an Alienware laptop but I have a low budget. Which components should I pick?
A low budget of $1500.00? My car is not worth that much!
You don't "build" an Alienware. It is configured by your choices.
Alienware is just an expensive Dell, though some may have an HDMI out.
Desktop/Towers built yourself are much higher performance for the price.
Newegg, com has a selection, with tax collected in NJ/TN/CA/IN

Should look for a discount code and just go with Alienware base model 17.3" to match

Alienware has HDMI out
Alienware is much heavier
8GB RAM instead of 16GB. No SSD included.
