Macbook Pro 17 2011 Vs Alienware 17x R3 3d Laptop

Hi Guys, I need some suggestions and comments. If budget is not an issue, which one would you prefer?

A Sexy slim Macbook Pro 17 2011 Vs a Beast Alienware 17x R3 3d Laptop.

They have the same speed, similar prices. Macbook pro is more portable, Alienware has 3d, bluray capabilities but almost 2 times heavier.

Any thoughts?

If you're doing movies ang graphic arts, I'd go for the macbook. Pro pag 3d, alienware na. mac's still slow with windows and drains faster. I'm not sure lang if they'd fixed this problem. Enjoy your future awesome gadget bro!

Personal Choice and opinion..

i'll go for Mac.,
> it suites my lifestyle...working at home (with a desktop) then having meetings, presentations, taking notes @ a Mac
> Experience + it gives a feeling of prestige..
> Mac = for cool, crazy creatives, adventurous, non-conformist, revolutionary, rebels, pirates, square pegs in a round hole,.. (Apple = most innovative company)

..hehe..

@sir hotrod: if you are looking for a portable laptop, i'll go for macbook pro.
but still, i'll definitely go for Alienware M17x R3, where im using mostly windows based softwares (games;2d/3d softwares), it may not be a portable laptop, but its the best portable desktop around, Nvidia 3D vision for the win!!

sa alienware ako sir hotrod!!!

Thanks sa comments mga bro. Still confused.hehe

i'd go for Alienware.

gone are the 'macbook is faster' days when dealing with movies/graphics. last month i attended an Adobe CS5 tour demo. Karl Soule only used his 3-yr old mobile workstation (dell notebook) and previews were in real-time (gone are the green progress-bar days). only if you have the new suite.

Hi Guys,

Thanks sa mga advice, I have pulled the trigger on the macbook pro 17. I saw the alienware 17x in person, It was too big for me.

I'll post pics when im free

congrats bro.

I have both alienware m17x and m18x.. i also have macbook pro but i only use macbook for school purposes while i use alienware for gaming purposes..

if i were you i'd buy alienware... it has the best processor and great graphics

wow yaman. alienware ako. for simple people with brilliant minds. hahaha

plus virus free.

I think there's no such thing as Virus Free ... it's all in the user if he/she allow's any program to enter into its operating system the safest.
if you search on google you will find a lots of malwares, trojans infections built for mac.


Again it depends on what program you need either games, application, etc. if you can run them smoothly on mac go for it otherwise if it's only emulated , go for the ibm-compatibles where you can install windows, linux android and other supporting OS.

Sir I think wala ka pang alam sa UNIX backend.. better research more para clear sa lahat at wag umasa sa sinasabi ng website mismo ng apple sympre its marketing .. I've been a linux user since 1994 at ang mac po ay galing sa mini-unix na structure.. which is also the root of linux .. Unix po and pinagmulan nila lahat .. permissions lang ang hinahawakan nilang security beyond that pwede na mapasok kahit anong system .. again po nasa user if he/she allows it mapapasok at mapapasok yan kahit naka mac kapa or windows.


for TS : sorry medyo out of the topic na .. anyway .. congrats for your new rig

sorry bro but i dont read yesterday's newspaper- it is 2011 already. Better yet research on your own to learn about Mac.

virus free means your free from worrying about virus attack or all of that sort.

'there is a bug lurking in the system'

to TS: enlighten us with your new mac

I'll just Echo what edosayla said... "there's no such thing as Virus Free!!!" Mac pa yan, Windows or Linux...

uu nga,, walang virus free ,, cellphone nga na virus pa.. hehehe

wala pong salita uu nga... marahil 'Oo' ang ibig mong ipahiwatig. Ang aking mungkahi ay mag-aral tungkol sa paksa bago punahin ang iba.

Medyo Off Topic na ito at tatapusin na natin ang discussion : Mac ang nabili na ng TS clear na lang natin ang topic regards naman sa virus free ..



Sir Galaites07 with the word "mag-aral tungkol sa paksa bago punahin ang iba" .. i believe kasama ka na rin dyan .. lahat tayo kailangan mag aral kaya nga may forum para ma discuss at ma correct nag mali .. anyway if e push mo talaga ang gusto mo its your choice the point lang dito is wag natin dalhin ang ibang members sa maling akala .. remember sir , walang 100% sa software. Again kung ayaw mo e accept na mali ka it's your point of view ,ang sa amin lang is ma give caution sa mga members na kailangan pa rin mag ingat. Everyday thousands of virus and programs being made for both mac and windows andyan lang mga yan at nag hihintay ng glitch sa software.



Para po sa mga members you can have your own research if I'm wrong or not its all about learning and to accept ang mali wag po kayo mag sasabi na alam nyo na lahat kasi lahat tayo learners at walang pupuntahan ang learning kung patigasan ng ulo.



Hope clear na po tayo peace to all and keep on learning.

There is only one way to end this dispute, just name one mac virus and i will believe you.



remember that malware, trojan, virus and etc are not all the same. Only virus please.

Ganito na lang ask kita ng question bakit kaya meron antivirus for mac na ginawa? common sense cguro na meron virus kasi gumawa sila ng antivirus hindi naman sila cguro bobo para gawan ng antivirus na virus free naman pala in the first place and to tell you anong virus go check google cguro nga wala kang alam kung ano ang pinag iba ng trojan sa virus ? Trojan and viruses are the same in nature , Trojan is a sleeping virus it was program to be in your system for a long time and it will activate it self on a certain period (ASSEMBLY 101 Class) .. again po sana kung gusto mong tumulong wag mong gawing tama ang mali.
