thanks!. Does anyone have any recommendations for a new laptop. Im going to be traveling this summer and need to take my work with me. I have an older dell m60 which sucks and I looking at a bunch of diff alternatives. Dell doesnt seem like such a big deal now and there cust. service sucks. Ive gotten a quote on a really cool computer from alienware and then I found this vigor atlantis which actually uses desktop chips in it so you can select a quad core. I dont know if running a desktop chip in a laptop matters. they also both support dual chip video and raid. I know they are gaming computers but It seems like the dell mobile workstations arent that great so I wanted to try something new. Any thoughts anyone? Also both gaming computers use nvidia and im a ati fan but not an hp fan so I am going to have to figure out an alternative. thx!

You do know that Alienware was bought by Dell not too long ago, right?
They still work seperatly though.

As for your question: I have no idea about laptops and chipsets/processors.
