    Can you hook up your ps3 or any other consoles to your alienware laptop ( like use the monitor as a screen )? cause i know regular laptops cant... or my friends anyways. But alienware is specially awesome =D so was just wondering.

    wow thanks for the super fast response. SICK is all i have to say. and i see that your location is in france, do you know if i can get a better discount here in Canada or in Europe. because i'm a student going to france to practice my culinary experience. and well.. once a gamer always a gamer.. ( though i know i should quit gaming lol ) I don't have a lot of cash so im finding everywhere possible to save. since I'm only going there with a small budget and if im done using that im being shipped back to canada by my parents =[

    First of all i wish you good luck with your practice!
    Second i can't tell you where is better to get a nice deal but just looking at Dell's pricing it seems that for them this equation applies $=€=₤. So i think it would be better if you'd buy it there (Canada or US). EU pricing is pretty high.

    Cheers

    Canada would definately better!
    Due to FX rate and more importantly lower sales taxes for those kind of goods in Canada/US, you'd always get a substantially way better deal over there, then here in Europe!

    I think the M17/18 are the only two that has HDMI in. I can tell you the M15 doesn't, pretty sure the M11 doesn't, and reasonably sure the M14 doesn't as well.
