I am also in the market for a laptop, and I stopped at Alienware.com and priced them, over $3000. I'll have to pass on that. =)

sazar, the laptop i have now has 20 gigs and all i need on it is games and basic programs so it does fine. but the 40gb drive is probably a worthy upgrade. i would advise against the 60gb drive though, as it has a slower rotational speed. when it comes to laptop harddrives, you need all the performance you can get.
and you don't think the extra advantages of hyper-threading are worth it in the 3.06ghz chip? from what i know about it, it's a nice feature. but i'm not an expert on it.
The Area-51m scored an impressive 102 on PC WorldBench 4, second in our Windows XP Pro notebook tests only to a much less expensive ($2199) Micro Express NP 5240 that scored 107. Remarkably similar in configuration and design to the Alienware notebook (except that the NP 5240 relies on SDRAM instead of DDR SDRAM), the Micro Express supports a lower display resolution (which likely helped boost its final PC WorldBench 4 score).
Note: The Alienware is a hot machine--literally. Despite carrying more fans than a sunbelt locker room, parts of this notebook became quite warm during normal usage.
The Area-51m isn't for frequent business travelers. Its generic-looking chassis is a mammoth 13 by 11.4 by 1.7 inches. And even with a second battery, the unit conked out after 3 hours, 4 minutes in our tests. But if your idea of networking is to sit in a room and compete with 500 other gamers, you'll find plenty to like here--assuming you can get past the hefty price.
