    help with buying new gaming laptop

    Hi in a few months ill be off to college and i will be buying a new laptop soon. I have a decent knowledge on computers but not extensive. I want a laptop that will be able to keep up with the next-gen games that will be coming out and not be out of date in a week. I have been looking around and put together an Alienware Aurora™ m9700 with these specs:

    AMD Turion™ 64 Mobile ML40 2.2GHz 800MHz FSB 1MB L2 Cache
    Genuine Windows® Vista Home Premium
    Alienware® NVIDIA® Mobile SLi Chipset
    2GB Dual Channel DDR SO-DIMM at 400MHz - 2 x 1024MB
    160GB (80GB x 2) Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s 5,400 RPM w/ NCQ & 8MB Cache (RAID 0)
    24x DVD-ROM/CD-RW Burner w/ Nero Software
    Dual 256MB NVidia® GeForce™ Go 7900 GS - SLI Enabled
    Internal 802.11b/g WiFi Card
    WideXGA+ 1440 x 900 LCD with Clearview Technology
    High-Definition Audio with surround sound
    Integrated 10/1000Mb Gigabit Ethernet & 56K V.92 Modem
    total: 2,466$

    So does this look like a good system that will last a while for a good price? If not or if there is something better for the same price range (trying to stay around or under 2,500) what do recomend? I looked at m-tech and dell xps laptops and they didnt seem an par with this. like i said though, Im not the smartest when it comes to computers i just know the basics.

    that is an awesome system. One of the best systems that can be bought for a laptop. And the price looks pretty attractive too.

    I'd say go for it.
    Core 2 Duo E6600 | eVGA 680i SLI | eVGA 8800 GTX | Soundblaster X-Fi Platinum | Corsair XMS2 2GB PC2-6400 800mhz @ 4-4-4-12 | Western Digital 500GB Caviar HDD | OCZ GameXStream 700-watt PSU | 24" Acer X241W LCD
