    The difference is 1,000 yoyos and the Medion comes with a real SSD while the Alienware only has hybrid storage. Maybe you should look up some reviews re the display quality, the devil is usually in the details.

    I know one thing for sure, before I spend £2,400 on the Alienware, I'd rather get me the PCS Omega Supreme for the same money in this configuration:
