The most basic alienware model of Alienware M11x is near to your range. It suits most of your needs and can be a good choice for you.

umm...i don't think so...i did some research on my own. Alienware M14x is available for a base price of $1099 and my budget is $1300. M11x is too small. I wanted to know of some other alternatives...maybe from Asus or Msi.

[dashing.sujay]

Asus does provides int warranty.

 

[aroraanant]

Even Dell is not giving international warranty but you ask them that if they can provide you that if you pay extra bucks to them

Tell you what, grab a HP Envy. You'll really love it.

HP Envy is really a high end multimedia laptop...i need a dedicated gaming thing. The Asus G53SX is really a bulky laptop. I guess, for me at least, for college, the Alienware would be a better deal.
