Yep..Thats the laptop i am considering. Anywho, i heard talk of something called the ALXm laptop..That is supposed to be coming out...I dont wanna spend around 8k on a laptop, then have something better come out in a month..i want the best..so i wanted to ask u guys if u thought i should get the laptop i posted, or wait for the ALXm laptop to come out..I've been tossing around the idea for a while, and u guyz are experts so maby u can offer some advice hehe.

As for paying, my friend in texas is buying it for me, shipped to him, then to me in canada, so i dont gotta pay insane duty on it lol. So what u think i should get?

Thanx for your opinions,
Jesse

I plan to do a mix of gaming, graphics(photoshop mostly) some maya, audio editing wif reason, messengers, net and stuff..so basically lots of multitasking and lots of gaming. hence why i want the best..and i want portable so i want a laptop

I heard from a few ppl and on there that alienware is planning on releasing a laptop called the ALXm or something..it was on a post here..Something abou the most advanced laptop ever made...And if it real..i want one..But if it was just a hoax, then ill get the m7700

Read teh above post..I found it in here: http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=35228 Near the bottom it says:

SPOILERS (Not Really) FOR THE FUTURE:
When I asked about chassis changes...he did reveal a bombshell...He said that they will be offering other notebooks with different chassis' and looks and he would get in trouble if he told me but he did say he could tell me that one new notebook coming soon is the ALIENWARE ALXm...in his words the most advanced notebook in the computing industry's history. He said technology in that notebook will be beyond anyone else and never before seen, but don't expect the video array he said...but he did say it would be aluminum based.

Hence why i am wondering if i should wait for this "ALXm" notebook.

True, but if it was so long ago..ud think they would close to finishing it?

Ahh okies. Well once vik gets online ill talk to him, see what he thinks. It be cool if it was gonna be a real laptop soon though hehe
