The xps may be big, ugly, and expensive but at least it doesn't have a sis chipset
Why on earth did alienware choose sis chipsets for their "gameing" laptops!
The price of the xps and area51m are on par with eachother, if anything the xps is better value due to intel chipset.
the 3.06ghz, 256mb pc2700, geforce5700go, 40gb 5400rpm hd area 51m is $2059
the 3.4ghz, 512mb pc3200, 128mb radeon9700m, 60gb 7200rpm hd dell XPS is $2279
That is a little better bang for the buck in my book but thats just me. I'd never buy either of them anyway though
I like my laptops to be mobile not just portable, lol.
