Strange that no one's trying to out-do Alienware in the processor department. Back when I was actively shopping for a new laptop, I allowed myself the luxury of browsing thee Dell web site to see what they had to offer. Dual quad-core processors, starting at 2.16 Ghz that can overclock up to 2.80 Ghz. If it hadn't been $1800, I'd own it now.
