Moving on. I know they are expensive, but I've owned 2 different systems now and Alienware has always delivered dollar for dollar, and you can escape with a decent one for about $1500 nowadays.

If you look at the 9-1100 range you can find a couple great 15" and 17" Sony Vaio's with core i5's and 7's, 8 gb memory, and radeon HD's that will do the trick as well.
lol I've owned previous gateways and hated them every time, but yes, I'm proud of this laptop. In 2 years, I have had only 1 problem. The HD failed, but that was my fault. Took $50 to fix and I even upgraded it from 320GB to 720GB. I've never been more happy with a lappy (I've owned 4 previous to this one...all 4 failed horribly after a few months...2 of them being gateway lol)
