Alienware is the Monster Cable of computers. Wait, no it's more like the Pontiac Grand Am of computers. It's nothing but molded plastic body cladding. Former Calgary based VoodooPC used to run a close-second but thankfully HP seems to have kept the Envy portion and dropped the Voodoo tribal nonsense.

I own 2 Alienware laptops a m17xR2 and a m17xR3.
The gody lights turn off making the laptop look like almost any other laptop.
I notice most people who trash on Alienware have never owned one just like people who bash on BMW, Apple, etc.
Just as a comparison I have new a M17x that has a i7 2720, 2 HDD's in Raid, ATI 6970 and 8gigs of ram at a cost to me of $1980 with a 3 year in home warranty. I bought another Alienware because my last one was unbelievably powered and reliable for the last year and a half. Part of the reason I went Alienware originally was the ease of Cpu, HDD, RAM and GPU upgrades.
I also owned a Sager but ran into heat issues so I moved on. This is not common however and I was very happy when I used it for small time frames. I probably would have gone Sager again if they offered an ATI option.
As to Fortnax I have not heard of them but they seem to carry decent brands in Sager and Clevo.
