I've kept my eyes on this baby for quite sometime (MaxPC mags).
I am however very relutant to fork out so much money for a laptop, regardless of it's potential. I am more of a dektop person. Do you plan on getting one?

The thing with Alienware (even tho this could be bad for business) is that you pay an extra 1-5 hundred bucks for the look of it. Their boxes are all pretty intense... but they charge a little too much for the pretty looks :'(

I can tell you this tho... if I were to buy another windows laptop ... for heavy duty work.. it'd be either a VAIO or an Alienware box most def!
