Are there any good ratings for Dell’s Alienware products?
I want to know the good and the bad about the Alienware m14x. Is it worth the investment, is Dell’s customer service good. If you have one of these laptops how well does it play under games such as Left4Dead 2, Portal 2, Mass Effect 2, Crysis 2 and Call of duty black ops and modern warfare 2? This will also include the upcoming games like Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3. What specs should I include? I was looking at the most basic one with nothing added on, is this going to be enough for me?

Uh, well the graphics card, regardless of which one you get will handle any of the games you just listed. 4GB might be a little low to run what you want. I suggest 6 or 8 but 4 would do fine. The i5 would run all those but that will be the downfall, pick it up to an i7 if you can.
In my opinion, alienware is incredibly overpriced. You are paying for the flashy lights and logo, I would go into something custom made or just...Less branded, my HP piece of sh*t runs most of the latest games on mid-high graphics, with a few of the newer games on low-mid. It cost 400 dollars.
First off, laptops aren't for gaming. 2nd off, Alienware isn't a good gaming rig, you pay extra for the looks.
*Edit*
Just get an i5-2500k (Quad Core). The i7 offers no benefits in gaming.
