Ok.. Heres My situation.
Im 17 and I really want to buy and alienware laptop... i have the money.

The m5550 is at a very low price and I am tempted to order it.

Should I jump at this low price oppurtunity, or wait until November... My birthday month where I can get a laptop free for my birthday.. probably with VISTA.

The second option sounds better... but I dont know if I can wait these extra months... Its not the birthday thing thats forcing the wait as much as the VISTA thing. What should I do.

Well, you can configure your m5550 to handle vista. They have a nice chart that you can look at the minimum requirements and maximum performance. I just ordered mine and it should be able to handle vista no problem.

VISTA will have many issues when it is released, just like win XP did. I cant even count how many times i went back to 2000 before SP1 was released...

So i would just get a VISTA capable system now, and install VISTA when it becomes stable.

I think this is more about the money than the software guys...

I'm cheap MPenso, so I'd probably try to wait until November if you're sure you'll get one then without having to pay for it. Unless of course you're on summer break and have lots of time to game now but you won't after school starts up... Man, that's five months...

You're going to have to decide for yourself I think. I was actually going to wait for the dual core version of the m9700, but I decided it wasn't worth the wait for a minor improvement in performance... I decided to order as the wait would be harder on me than the benefits of the dual core.

Quite a predicament... Good luck with your decision...
