That Alienware comp is pretty nice...

They don't specify the weight or battery life. I wonder why... But the do say this: "Sticking with Alienware� tradition, each unit is packed full of fans and exhaust units to ensu…

I'm not sure why everyone is so hepped up over clock speed. hell, most software doesn't even take advantage of it, and adding memory, a faster hard drive and/or a faster graphics c…

I sure hope that Apple has some tricks up their sleeves. That 2.4GHZ P4 and 64MB ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 is lookin mighty nice.
