    M18x maxed out not because I'm an Alienware fanboy but because at least you get the hardware you payed for with the M18x..

    Wow quite a big swing there.. Do what I did, M18x for play and Macbook pro 13 for work. A macbook will never have the raw power of a maxed M18x

    Here is my bottom line for anyone considering Apple versus any other notebook: If you're not going to use OS X at least 60% of the time, don't buy a Mac.
