Alienware and Vista ?

My son is looking for a laptop running under Vista that will have as
much "graphic Power" as possible. We found that Alienware was the only
solution available in Switzerland, with a double Nvidia 8700 GT card.
Problem is, I've never heard of this brand.
Anybody knows anything about its reliability?

Daniel

Alienware is built for gaming (graphics) and is owned by Dell.

Yeah, they are a pretty well known high-end hardware maker. They used to
make some ugly looking laptops (for my taste), and they cost a lot, but are
probably amongst the most powerful you can get, for gaming. As always,
Wikipedia could tell you more.

You also might look into those Asus laptops, which you can upgrade the
graphics card easily, by plugging in a new one. I do not know much about
them, only that they exist.
