First of the two Benchmarks for ARR.

The next laptop I'm getting is going to be an Alienware, but that will be a good while as this laptop is enough for what I need it for (it has Blu-Ray, too). I will also think about getting a desktop later on as well, and that's in the distant future.

I heavily suggest you avoid Alienware. Ever since they were bought out by Dell, the quality of their PCs has fallen.
I suggest getting a Lenovo Y580. It's cheaper, and probably has better specs.

I just hope the new build takes advantage of more cpu cores & threads. Being locked to 2 threads is not acceptable for a PC engine made today.

if you want a serious gaming laptop check out Origin PC. they arent as mainstream but just as expensive. and their products are quality.

Theyre locked to 2 cores cuz its a 32bit game. *(confirmed by it being in the program files x86 folder) maybe 2.0 will be 64bit and be able to access more than 2 cores and 4 gigs of ram

32bit applications can use more than 2 threads/cores..
For example:
Skryim is a 32bit game, but can take advantage of quad and hexa core cpus.
32bit applications in theory can use up to 32 threads/cores.

Alienware is a dell with a fancy logo and lighting. have fun wasting money

Well, I'm getting one because I couldn't get a good graphics card on a portable computer The XPS I have now could only get the 555M GT at the time, and Alienware had 560M GTX or better. And yet, don't we spend money on better graphics cards, hm? :P I'll probably just stick with a desktop and game on one for later on.

Oh yeah, I've seen those computers before. They were recommended on NVIDIA's website with certain graphics cards. I completely forgot about those computers.

FYI if your pondering a new laptop, instead of a tower, i've heard good things about samsung...especially with their repair/replacement service. Worth a look.
