It came out to $2,508.43 after taxes and shipping.
$2300 before taxes/shipping.

I got it in the first week of February
I actually didn't buy it myself. I got a ~20K scholarship to the college I am going to, so my parents got it for me.

I've always maintained that Alienware is overpriced. However, looking at the specs and what you paid for it, I'd say you did pretty well with that :)

Congrats on the scholarship btw :D

It can get up to 2 hours of battery life if you tone down the settings of battery mode, but I would say 1-1.5 hours when you use it like normal.

Overpriced in my opinion. It could have been done for a lot less money.
