Just ordered my Alienware laptop.
I'm looking into getting a powerfull laptop.
I was checking out the Alienware website and their lap tops really caught my eye. I don't understand a lot about the technical specs behind a computer, all I know is that the bigger the numbers the more powerful the system. Have any of you had experience with these computers? Is there any laptops you'd recommend? Thanks for any help *UPDATED* I ordered it, said what the hell. Let's get this thing. This is the final Computer specs. Processor: Intel Pentium 4 640 Desktop Processor w/ HT Technology 3.2GHz 800MHz FSB 2MB Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 Warranty: 2-Year AlienCare Toll-Free 24/7 Phone Support with Onsite Service LCD Display: 17" WideUXGA 1920 x 1200 LCD Clearview Display with Built-in Camera Motherboard: Intel 915P PCI-Express Chipset Memory: 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SO-DIMM at 533MHz - 2 x 1024MB Graphics Accelerator: 256MB NVidia GeForce Go 6800 Hard Drive: Single Drive Configuration - 80GB 7200 RPM ATA100 Primary CD ROM/DVD ROM: 24x10x24 CD-RW / 8X DVD Combo w/Software MPEG2 Decoder Primary Battery: Alienware m7700 12-cell Lithium-Ion Smart Battery Pack Additional Battery: Alienware m7700 12-cell Lithium-Ion Smart Battery Pack Communications: Integrated 10/1000Mb Gigabit Ethernet & 56K V.92 Modem Digital Audio Hardware: Intel High-Definition Audio (24-bit, 192Khz) with 7.1 surround sound Mobile Transport : Alienware Premium Backpack XL Floppy Drive: USB Floppy Drive Mobile Power: Belkin AC Anywhere 300W Last edited by Trevor Trombley; December 5th, 2005 at 04:22 PM.

Alienware is the same thing as Sager Laptops, except more expensive and cooler looking.
see poweroid.com or http://www.sagernotebook.com/index.html 2- What's your budget? What are the main programs you want to run on the laptop? |

I'd probably want to use any of the top line editing software.
Vegas, After Effects, Avid, Premiere, Final Cut etc... Maybe even a 3d program such as XSI. I'm going to start with capturing SD, but eventually want to upgrade to HD. My budget in US dollars, maybe around 3,500 give or take 500 dollars. Thx |

Take a look at 1Beyond also.
http://www.1beyond.com/products/lapt...search=laptops We had one of these the last place I worked and they loved it. Gets quite warm with all the goodies and weighs a bit more than you might think. Sean McHenry
