Don't do it
For college you'll need portability and battery
Alienware offers none of that
Just because the specs look good on paper doesn't mean that it'll mean your needs
Honestly for a college student
I'd recommend the Samsung Series 7 Chronos or Ativ Book 8
(They're the same thing)
Quad core i7 2.4 Ghz
1920x1080p
AMD Radeon 8870m
5 pounds
7 hour battery life
8 GB RAM (12 max)
It's portable and it's powerful enough to handle your programs and games
It's around $1500
Look it up
It's a great laptop
