    Not for gaming, for work travel.

    Like it cause it looks cool, has an i7 processor and great peripherals.

    Not keen on Vaio's, been burnt by Vaio's before Click here to enlarge

    In this day and age, don't even think about buying a laptop without a SSD drive! Especially when looking at shedding a lot of cash on a high performance unit. I've been using a cheap Acer Aspire 1410 with a slow 1.5 GHz low voltage processor that was transformed into a speedy little beast as soon as I switched to a 120 GB Patriot Inferno. Fast boot time, safer since the drive is immune to vibrations and longer battery life. I wouldn't get more than 4GB of RAM since you won't use more than that anyway and more RAM sucks more battery juice, too. Oh, and make sure you also get Dell's 30" ultra high resolution monitor to enjoy the real power of your Alien when you're at home Click here to enlarge

    can you afford it? yes, otherwise you wouldn't even consider it
    do you want it? yes

    can you justify spending X amount on a POA netbook for work purposes? no, otherwise you wouldn't have put a poll up.

    seriously, you would be better off spending $300 on a netbook
    it will do what you want it to do
    it will have the same 720p screen
    but it will have a processor that will give you much better battery life
    then use a portion of the money you save on a good SSD

    Well I went and bought my new laptop.

    I got a Dell XPS 15" with the i7 Sandy Bridge chipset, USB 3.0, 3Gb Nvidia GeForce 555 card, 16Gb Ram, 1Tb external USB 3.0 drive and an Intel 600Gb SSD hard drive.

    The Alienware was great, but turns out need a 10 day wait. Too long so got the XPS.. Click here to enlarge

    imagine all that porn


    top buy Glenn
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
