Hi guys,

I'm thinking of buying an alienware laptop, either the new mx11 or the mx15. I don't really want it for gaming so much, I just want a powerful, nice looking laptop that will last for a while and perform well. Thing is, if I get the mx11 I'd have to get an external disc drive and I don't know if that would hinder performance or anything, like if I wanted to watch a dvd. But I also don't really want a screen as big as 15 inches. Also I'm not really sure if I need to upgrade the processor/RAM from what is recommended. Any help would be appreciated
