And when you compare the dollars you spent on that Alienware to a desktop, you'll find the performance gap to be significant for less dollars spent. Also, lugging around a brick isn't my idea of a good laptop. Totally defeats the purpose of why laptops came into existence. A former manager told me to get a Precision 5520 laptop as my work laptop. Hated every minute of lugging around that thing for work.
And I'm not even going to talk about the longevity of these mobile desktop wanna be's. You can't get around the killer of all electronics which is heat.
