    Check with newegg but probably not. Usually only the expensives ones have those. Also the box is small for a gaming laptop but it won't fit in any prepaid USPS boxes either. Just guessing I'd say my G73 box was 20"x16"x5". An Alienware box is over twice as large.

    Guys you might to try that one -- seems to be a better deal at 899.99. Assumming the 15.6 in works for you.
