voodoo? they're expensive so that means they are good right?

alienware. Except they run hot as fuck, are heavy as hell and you thought the battery life on a MacBook Pro was bad... haha... just wait.
We have two 17k alienware PCs here for testing (gaming if we wanted to) and since getting our MBPs we haven't touched the alienware computers once.
Look into the XPS (not sure if that name is correct) by Dell. They're fast, portable and come loaded with features. Cept I wouldn't buy one if it came installed with Vista.

(Mar 8 07, 19:05)its Lenovo now. Same product just different name.
also. they were never really for consumers, mainly for business.
- enjine0
true, they don't market them as consumer machines like dell, or anything barfed out at best buy.
the components in those laptops are all top of the line, as secure as you can get, and durable to boot.
you'll notice that most of the speakers at conferences (who don't have macs) pretty much all rock the thinkpad.
it's not cheap, but if you're looking for quality, it's worth checking out.
- JSK0
very true.
i have mac and think pad. they are both nice.
but i would prefer thinkpad since it lasts longer and its durable as hell.
o did i mention that it has spill resistant keyborad? when you spill water on the keyboard, it drains out at the bottom?
- JSK0
o yah here is the link to their engineer blog about their spill resistant keyboard.

macbook pro... you wont regret it
- emptyempty0
definitely get a 17" macbook pro and max the fucker up and install XP on it as well. You wont regret it, trust me.

hey folks, thanks for the replies.
Studdernine you can bite me.
To everyone else . . . I've checked out Alienware but can't stand the gay cases. I'm wary of buying a mac and installing XP or Visita because it just seems like I would run into problems.
I don't find that even the top-shelf DELL's are pimped out enough for what I want.
I wish there was a company that would sell laptops that looked like macs, had the guts of a PC and were maxxed out as far as you can go as far as power is concerned.
Maybe I'll get someone to build a custom machine for me.
I will check out the Lenovo Thinkpad though.
Thanks for the help folks.
