not cheapest laptop - best laptop

I want a lightweight, wireless enabled, top spec machine for intensive business use (working 10 plus hours a day) . What's the current best one out there?

Sony are without a doubt the way to go for a top end, cool looking, light weight laptop.

I found that VAIO's break easily...

But Alienware are VERRRY Good for intense use - gaming and business.

You can even cusomise and build your own..

Up to 3.8GHZ, Intel 4
17inch screen
up to 3GB RAM!
RAID 1 100GB 7200 RPM Disc!
Extra Battery
Internal Creative Labs Audigy 2 Sound Card
Adobe Premier and Photoshop
3DS Max 7
Laptop Bag
Recovery Kit
Adaptor
Wireless mouse
Bluetooth
Fingerprint Security
Office 2003 Pro

but that costs nearly $10000.. If only I could spare that much on a Laptop...

From Alienwares own site. In the first para from this link they openly state that they use Clevo notebooks...''The Area 51-m 7700 is based on the latest 17-inch chassis from Taiwanese notebook maker Clevo''.

I dropped my first Vaio on the hearth. The lid became damaged but the machine still worked! The new ones have the Diamond X screens which are really clear.
