I'd say get a Dell XPS laptop...
But that's just because they have LCD light out of the fans, speakers, and top of the laptop.  Cool.
Seriously, don't get an XPS... And I've used Alienware computers before, and honestly I don't see a noticeable difference other than graphics. |

Alienware comps are good for gaming, they come optimized for it with everything overclocked and cooled, ready to roll for you. As far as being worth it goes... not really. Not to me anyway. You can build the same rig and tweak it yourself for much much less money. You pay a lot for the brand name and convenience. If you have the money for it and can't, or don't want to, build your own then yeah, they're good.

Alienware = overpriced. Same with Sony.
Good computer in your last post. IMHO skip vista for a few years though.

It looks cool, yes. But as of now it has compatibility errors with quite a few game protection systems like xtrap, gameguard, and punkbuster. Your going to find many more errors with games using vista than you would without. Plus, vista is a memory and graphics hog.
