    What do you guys think. Is it worth it to purchase this machine as a primary gaming computer home and away? (hooking it up to a monitor / keyboard when at home)

    For $799 you get:

    Specs
    Intel® Pentium™ SU4100 1.3GHz (2MB Cache) Overclockable to 1.73GHz

    Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit

    1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 335M

    11.6-inch WideHD 1366x768 (720p) WLED

    2GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 800MHz (would upgrade later)

    160GB SATAII 5,400RPM

    Alienware M11x a/b/g/n 2x2 MIMO Wireless



    I LOVE its portability and style factor. But I'd want it to last a good 4-5 years. What you think?
    EDIT: Are there any other good smaller sized gaming notebooks to compare it with?

    Their so damn expensive, but boy do they run well.

    I have a dell xps (around 5 years old), the video card just recently went, but I put a new one in and its still faster than most computers.
    Dell doesn't mess around with their high end xps models/alienwares.

    Word of advice... If you plan to game more than you browse the internet upgrade the screen to 1920 x 1200 resolution.
    But if your like me and browse the internet 75% of the time and game 25% keep the 720p. (that's my preferences in laptops at least..... I only go 1080 or higher resolution on a desktop screen)
