Hi, I'm looking for advice.I'm looking to get a new laptop. It will replace my current desktop. Bascially it will primarily be used around the house, and occasionally for travel about 7-10 times a year (including at airports, on planes, etc). I got my last laptop back in 1999 so its been a while.I'm looking at: Dell XPS M1710 (GeForce Go 7950 GTX) or Alienware Aurora mALX I have looked at cnet and both of the vendors sites, but i'm still not sure. Does anyone have any suggustions? the cnet review hinted that the mALX may loose position with the Intel Core 2 Duo...I'll use the computer primarily for internet, gaming (i.e. MS Flight Sim, and games such as Civ,Age of Empires, etc...), video editing. From what i'm reading, it looks like both systems are larger in size then my old compaq presario 1827. Are either of these in line wiht use on an airplane, or to be carried around to different places (internet cafe, beach, etc)?If not, do you have any suggustions for a fast running system (laptop)?Thanks,
