Is the Sentia right for me?

Hey there,
I'm buying an alienware laptop next month and I'm trying to determine whether I want the Sentia or the Area-51m. I really like the mobility factor of the Sentia which is why I lean towards it. For the majority I'll be using the laptop for work, which is using programs like photoshop and flash. Also I would probably need it for video editing; I use premiere pro. I would probably want to play games now and then on my laptop, but with an integrated graphics card, I don't know how that would handle. Would it be more wise for me to purchase an Area-51m?

the sentia could handle most of that.....but the video editting would be slower than on a area-51m due to the intergrated graphics.

The battery on the 51 is an hour and a half tops, i believe, so that may be a big factor. It is also probably a lot more heavy.

I do not know if I would want to do Photoshop on a 12in laptop maybe you do but I like the 16.1 on my Area-51m.

I'm there with nightrush- my current laptop/desktop replacement battery life is about 2 hours- a bummer; means I ususally have to travel with the power supply and cords; a nuisance.

Besides that, the deadweight of lugging 8 lbs of laptop and accessories around Boston one afternoon in this past June convinced me that small and lighter is better.
