Is the Hardrive fast? After looking at Apple's site, I see that the Apple I was looking at is not the cheap one (ibook) but the expensive one, so I will probably be looking at 1.5k + even if I go with Apple. Hmm, will look a bit longer (any other great laptops out there? smallness, reliability, and battery lifetime are most important).

like asher said everything has warranties. seriously, if you have 4k go buy one from alienware. it's stupid and a total ripoff but i'm sure you'll be happy. with 4k you could build 2+ kickass systems easily so even if you broke all the parts on your first try you could buy them all again. if you build it yourself you will end up with higher quality parts by being able to choose what you want and need. this will take some research and reading on your part though so if you are lazy or can't stand all the techno-mumbo-jumbo just buy one.
you can make a really good for pc for ~1k easily if you don't have to have all the fastest stuff(which is vastly overpriced in terms of how much quickier it really is). if you went for most preformance per dollar you'd probably end up with a 600-800 dollar system which would still be able to run all the games as the 4k alienware.
few links -
http://anandtech.com/guides/showdoc.aspx?i=2185&p=13 - anandtech's high end system summary which is ridiculous btw.
http://anandtech.com/guides/showdoc.aspx?i=2177&p=9 - anandtech's mid level system summary which is somewhat reasonable especially compared to high end.
http://anandtech.com/guides/showdoc.aspx?i=2177&p=9 - anandtech's low range system summary which is near the best value in terms of preformance for money spent. you'd need to upgrade video card, ram and cpu a bit on this system to make it a good gaming machine.
www.newegg.com - regarded as the best place to get parts if you go the build it yourself route

just buy a cheap dell and do a few upgrade on it yourself. like adding in more ram and a better graphics card. dell's can be a really good deal if you do that as they have fairly good motherboards(usually, you should check), decent cases/power supply, good cpus, etc for a good price.
