 Another performance laptop option might be Alienware. The Area 51  m5750 
uses dual core Centrino processor, ATI’s Mobility Radeon X1800 256mb  graphics 
card and up to 2 gig. of 667 Mhz ram as well as up to 240 GB HD (in  raid o).
 Prices run from 1,300 to 3,000 depending on options chosen. I had  in the 
past heard of problems with support but recent forums seem to indicate  the 
opposite.
 
 I am also looking into laptops and am wondering if any of the list  Gurus 
have any input on Alienware since it and Mac top my interest at this  time.
