Best Manufacturers for Performance Laptops...

I'm debating getting a laptop due to the need for a mobile gaming machine.
I was looking at the Dell XPS, but was wondering what else was about?

I've seen some Rock laptops, and Zepto look ok (albeit 8600GT 512MB).

Any others?

If you want the fastest, look at Alienware. Some nice new models.

The Rock pegasus models are pretty nippy, yet the alien wares allow for raid 0 SSD's and SLI. really depends on how performance you want

Alienware are overpriced. Give Dell a call and see what sort of price you can negotiate with them on an XPS system. If youre prepared to buy on that day, then you can really push them hard to drive the price down.

I'm really looking for a 8700 card in a laptop. I've noticed Zepto do some great systems for good prices - its a pity they dont offer the 8700..

I also notice that Alienware's top laptop is based on the 945P chipset, rather than the 800Mhz FSB types..

Alienware are releasing a new 15" and 17" laptop on Monday with the new 8800m graphics card as an option (SLI option in the 17").

Ta for the info
