@jtan: I'm with you. It's too fat, too heavy, and it's a shock it can't pack a 280M for that thickness. The Envy 15 is a nice option.

@TehDarkKnight: This is a completely redesigned chassis, based on the M17x design, which gets complimented on its build quality.

Duuuude, the ATI 4670 whoops GT 240M in terms of graphic card benchmarking (thats the option you get on the M15x 1500 bucks system). I do understand i7 really will make a diff, but I'm still leaning towards that cheap 1200 bucks option from dell on the xps16 with the 4670...

@David Mascarenhas Watkins: When I finished customizing mine it was $3,447. And that was just the laptop, the only software was Office and the rest was a Blu-ray and the 1080p screen and a couple of necessary hardware upgrades. I don't have that kind of money but I can alway wish can't I?

@reddingofish: The $1,199 xps16 already comes with a 1080p screen! Bollocks to the M15x, thats what I say!

Forgot to mention it starts out at 9 pounds and 2 inches thick. Mobile gamers paradise is a stretch...

@qbrad: True. Much easier than a friend of mine carting his gaming desktop! lol

Since this Alienware lappy is HUGE, I am now waiting for Dell, ASUS, and Clevo/Sager to show what they have planned for the i7. Right now I'm loving the HP Envy 15, even though some reviews are saying it gets warm.
