Sorry in advance if this is not the right forum, I think it is close though since it has to do with EQ...
Im currently a High School senior and am going to be going off to college soon and my parents are saying they will buy me a laptop. Now i know laptops are not as powerful as desktops are, but I thought i would try to make the most of it for under $2k. I've seen Alienware offering their area 51 series and I have been intrigued. It seems I can get a quite potent laptop with an nVidia 6800 go gfx card and 1 gb ram for under $1800. I want to know your opinion as to wether (sp?) this will be sufficient. I know the computer (desktop) i have currently is not that nice, but somehow laptops are always crappier than desktops (or so it seems to me).
Dont know if this link will work but here is what im thinking....

Any commentary or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, also think that this comp has to last me 4 years, till i finish with college.....
