I just picked up the qosmio, model#505. It is by far the best laptop out there"Im going to use mine mostly for recording my bands music.Im going to by soft ware so that It will be a virtual recording studio workstation

I bought this in April of 2010. Still have it. Upgraded to 16GB RAM, replaced the Hard drive with an SSD, so I have 2 SSDs in it, and today or tomorrow, I'm going to upgrade this CPU to an i7-940XM. Can't play the latest games cranked up, but this bugger still works fantastic otherwise, especially with the upgrades. On the memory part, the mem controller is supposed to only support 8G, I have 16 in there, it's recognized in BIOS, and Windows certainly sees it, so I don't understand how it works, but it does. Watch, I'll put the XM processor, and poof, back to 8. (hope not)

@AleXy86 No the new alienware m17x r3 is also made out of plastic now. I own one I know.

@AleXy86 No prices are still pretty high. I bought the base m17x r3 for $1532 and it definitly wasn't worth it. I sold it and got a qosmio instead. The alienwarre only had a 320gb hardrive and no 1080p screen which is rediculous for that price.

[Nutriment]

Buwae ano sabi mo overheats ive had this since new and its not overheated once

[coolmodee]

@AleXy86 Cause dell took over thats why. Dell also has terrible customer service. I just got my m17x r3 and I have already sold it. Its just not worth it anymore when compared to other laptops in the same price range.Unless you can get one on sale I wouldn't bother.
