I have an alienware laptop, and I love it. However, i would caution against them because i have had this thing in the shop three times and i am going on a fourth.
I do web developement and programming, my machine has 400 gig hard drive, though i do most of my work on a 4 gig flash drive. i also have a 1 tb backup to be safe. i typically have 1 or 2 virtual machines running, remote desktop or two to company owned servers, several browser windows, several instances of visual studio, bittorrent (downloading iron chefs) and usually playing a movie or show. that is with a 2.2 ghz amd 64 and gigs of ram and vista ultimate.
Screw macs, pc performance is so ridiculously high these days that the performance advatage that macs had in the past is negligible, plus a lot of the companies that produced mac only software make it for the pc these days too.
PLus, in recent years, macs have started getting targeted with spyware and viruses. so as much as i like justin long, he can stick his one sided mac commercials up his ass.
