We've got one at work.

3.4GHz p4, 1024mb ram, 256mb Radeon 9800 pro.

Rediculous res...15.4 inch screen and 1920x1200 res...too high in my opinion.

Pretty slick laptop though.

First off gaming laptops are a wast of money. Second Alienware computers are a waste of money. Third Dell sucks.

If you want a good gaming computer, build one.

Go with a desktop. I bought a laptop for university, and I found that I really didn't use it enough to warrant having one.

If you do want a laptop, get something that's light with good battery life. Sony, Toshiba and IBM all make really nice laptops.

What you get really depends on your price range. With $2000, you can get a top of the line desktop computer, but that same amount of money will only get you an average notebook.

I've spent probably close to $2500 on my computer(s), but that's because I keep upgrading parts. I started off with just $600 and got a great gaming machine, now I've got a better gaming machine but since I bought all the parts slowly i've never spent more than $400 at once since Smile

1.25Gb ram

10Gb secondary HD
48x CD Burner (same read speed, not sure about re-write)
12x DVD/40x CD
ATI Radeon 9000
ATI TV Wonder Pro
SB PCI 128
Linksys 10/100 nic
Logitec Z-640 Surround Sound speakers
Princeton 19" LCD
Samsung 17" CRT
Microsoft keyboard and mouse

Parts I still have which I used before:
code:

P4 @ 1.5 + motherboard (in use by my brother)
SB Live 24
two 3Com 10/100 nics
nVidia Riva TNT2 Pro video card (pci)

nVidia Quadro 2 Pro (agp)
ATI Radeon 7000 (agp)

And if you don't hate me yet, My server:

1 Gb ram
3Com 10/100 nic
40Gb HD

I love my computers Very Happy
