alienware vs sawrow laptop

I want to buy a performance laptop and have been looking at the above 2 companies. Anyone any experience with these companies or their products?

I will be using the laptop mainly for gaming & internet(As I have a wireless G network at home).

Any other suggestions for a good laptop as most of the laptops I see are underspecced in some way(mainly graphics) which lets an otherwise good laptop down(mostly ones from shops like pc world).

I am looking for a laptop with 512-1024mb, decent graphics card(able to play hl2,doom 3 etc), 60-80gig drive. Not too worried about processor speed as the rest of the system counts more than sheer mhz.

I will also have the choice between xp home or pro. Which is best to go for?

There has been a previous Alienware Notebook thread here http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.p...ight=alienware

I just purchased the alienware laptop, and to be honest its a dream machine.. runs everything i have given it, to run. even the lastest games, and it just run them no problem.

The purchase and sales support from alienware is also very good, and i would easily say the best i have seen so far, they really do make you feel like there only customer.
