These are the specs for the Dell XPS M1710, Black Cover:
This laptop would have to be designed to do lots of applications for programming, video/graphic processing, and the ability to play a computer game, on the same scale as my current desktop.

I currently have an IBM Thinkpad R51. It currently my primary machine. However, this machine was not designed in mind or bought in the mind to be an every day machine. I always shopping around for a better laptop that can be as powerful as much or equal to my current desktop.

This laptop would have to be designed to do lots of applications for programming, video/graphic processing, and the ability to play a computer game, on the same scale as my current desktop. It would require at least the next gen wireless, N series, because it would have to work a TS/SCI connectivity upgrade.

I am split between HP (HP Pavilion HDX Entertainment Notebook PC) and the Dell (XPS m1730). The only difference between he two is the CD Drive were one company features Blu-Ray and the other HD DVD.
