I'm not arguing with you. I was just making a suggestion.
Alienware is still shipping Windows 7 because they agree with the anti-8 trend.

A shame I can't afford an Alienware. A lot of gamers hate Windows 8 and so do game developers.
Only gamers who've never used Windows 8.
As someone who works in the industry, I can confidently say this is false.

Aside from valve, who are these "game developers" you're talking about? I would also like to hear an example of use case that windows 7 does better than 8.

Blizzard has also spoken out as has the creator of MineCraft. The PC used to be a very open platform and many have expressed concerns Microsoft might be trying to change that. A veteran game programer, Casey Muratori has talked about this.
Good thing Windows 8 has every open platform element that Windows 7 has.

I must say; it looks like Zelig took the whole "no compromise" adage about windows 8 a tad too literally. 
You really should hear yourself, so self-centered about the OS debate. It's all about you and what works best for you, the rest of us can just go jump off a bridge.
Luckily two can play at that game...

I hate that crappy Metro UI and I have no intention of having to use that BS. I don't want to support such a product. I am also worried about the rumors Microsoft wants to phase out the desktop interface in favor of Metro down the road. I sure as hell hope not. A computer is NOT a smart phone.

I already made the suggestion to buy 7 retail. Either take it or leave it but please stop with all the hating in threads that are not specifically about Windows 8. It makes many frustration and arguments.
Good thing you don't have to use Metro in Windows 8.

Looking at a Dell Vostro 3560
3rd Gen Intel® Core™ i5-3210M Processor (2.50GHz, with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.10GHz)
Windows 7 Professional with XP Mode
15.6 Inch LED Screen (720p)
500 GB HD
AMD Radeon™ HD 7670M 1GB
6 GB of RAM
A few features of this laptop
It would cost me 769.00 dollars
Would you say its worth it?

Ok, I will take this under advisement, as long as I am not stuck with Windows 8 and can run my older games I am happy. I am trying to save money for my new custom built gaming desktop.

If you're making a custom-built gaming desktop, you can get a rig to play the games you listed for super cheap. It would make more sense to spend more on the laptop, due to the price/performance ratio and more expensive nature of laptops.
