Dell XPS: $3300
Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz
2GB DDR2 667
512MB GeForce Go 7950GTX
Toshiba P100-ST9772: $2900
Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz
2GB (speed unknown)
512MB GeForce Go 7900GTX
Alienware m9700: $2700
Turon 64 2.2GHz
2GB DDR 400
2x256MB GeForce Go 7900GS
All three include Vista Ultimate, 160GB HDDs, DVD+/-RW, 17 inch screens, etc. I'm currently leaning towards the Alienware but am hesitent to pull the trigger because I know it will be very difficult to upgrade anything in a laptop once it's ordered. The Dell obviously offers the most performance but I'm having trouble justifying the extra $600 over the Alienware. I just don't think it would be that much better. I'm relatively certain the performance gain of the Toshiba would be negligable in comparison to the Alienware so I've all but cut that one out, but I'm open to differing opinions.
I'm wondering what some of you who might have experience with gaming laptops and SLI cards think. Which one would you go with?
Thanks for the help.
