So, i'm planning on getting a new alienware m5500 laptop soon, i was wondering if i should get the Go 6600 or the x1600 mobility..

I would like the Go 6600, because it'd take up less battery power, but if i get the x1600, it might take less, because of the 90nm fab process that it has.

Comments and criticism appreciated.

edit:

Also, here's the specs that i'm opting for...

BTW, it's an alienware M5500 laptop so if you wanna go configure your own to help you put down specs, be my guest..

I went to Alienware's website to check this out. And the fact that you can choose a 1900x1200 15.4 inch screen is awesome! I would buy that if it weren't for the crumby processor. They really aught to offer the new intel Duo processor in a 15.4 inch. It costs the same.

Oh, and about your question, I would definitely go with the X1600. It's a personal preference yes, but I've played with both... so it has some validity? Doesn't it? ;)
 
Why Alienware? I lost interest after reading about the 90 day warranty, that's not nearly enough...

Still, I'd go with the X1600.
 
Get a 9300/e1705, buy a 7800gtx go off ebay or forums, walla you have a much better laptop rig for prob around the same cost as that alienware.
