lolwut. Calm down bro.

Nope I think his argument is very valid, you shouldn't be upset when someone calls you out for wasting the OP's time.

True, true especially when they are just spamming or making useless input that they know is irritating and not helpful.

That's allot of money for a laptop.

Is it for gaming or just general work?

You can build a pretty high end PC for 20k,it's a shame it has to be a laptop.

I've generally found that you can get quite a lot of laptop for your money from HP. A couple of years ago we bought HP laptops for under R8k which had 17" screens, 2.4GHz CPU, 4Gb RAM and I can't remember the hard drive size. We couldn't get anything close to that specs for the same price in other brands. So now we only buy HP and the battery still works. Previous laptops from Acer didn't even last a year.

Get this; I really want one as well!

Are you guys going to do a review on it. I am also think of getting one or a Asus g750 (i think was that one)

1 post wonder here i guess, no response on valid questions. I am out.

I would suggest a MSI or Proline rebranded laptop based on the Clevo design, they are under R20k and their design for their laptops have been proven overseas to be rock solid. Also they dont look as flashy as the Alienware laptops so thats a plus for business. Dells and HPs are just way too overprice in SA imo and they are spec'd badly for their price.

I think he said it has to be HP or Dell. If so, just get it custom.

I will never buy a HP laptop... you know why? (dont criticize)
They make PRINTERs and I dont trust them...

First of all...they make the best printers ever! Second their computers are very good! I had one and it still works. Only thing wrong with it is the battery life and performance

Would still get a custom Dell though.

Hey just saying... i am very bias

Have you decided what you are getting?

Most likely we will never see him again (or read from him in this case)
