As to the comment about a 3D Printer, they cost thousands to purchase. It's very unlikely that anyone who isn't an industy will have one large enough to print the pieces large enough. MSI is fine. All companies are FINE. Well, except Toshiba...I hate them with a passion. It's like they STRIVE to make the worst products they could. $400 is SOME money, and it could make a break the decision, but it's NOT going to get you any more than that.

Alienware DOES come with good keyboards, the lack of your knowledge is sad. You seem to base your info off of nothing, and probably have never OWNED one. Obviously, you can buy a better laptop for less. With Alienware, you pay the same for less, because what you get with it is the personalization and looks that come with it. It doesn't mean the products are made of inferior material, it's the exact opposite. They make it with stronger, better looking materials. The hardware inside isn't the best, however, so that is the difference there.

Desktops of the same company as the laptops will always be better when dealing in the same price bracket, but that doesn't apply to other companies. As I said, my ASUS laptop is better than Alienware's top line desktop, and was cheaper than that.

I highly doubt your ASUS laptop would outperform a desktop with an Intel i7 Extreme 3960X and a nVidia GeForce GTX690. A laptop simply is incapable of sustaining a desktop level of computer power without overheating and severely crippling battery life.

As for Alienware I never owned one but my cousin has and from what he experienced I would conclude Alienware sacrifices performance and durability for looks.
