Just to compare specs and prices. The alienware equivilient (only difference being the CPU which is an Intel SINGLE CORE 1mb (instead of 4mb) cache) would cost £1,760.
After searching for another laptop for £1370 (or there abouts), the best spec i could find was this:
Pentium M 1.8GHz 1mb cache
512mb RAM 533mhz DDR
80GB 5,400rpm
Intel GMA 900 Graphics controller
15" Screen :/
DVD RW+/-
XP Pro
And that is priced at £1397...which would you rather have?
