I'm looking to get my first real laptop for Christmas and am looking for something below or around $800 dollars. I'm looking at something to do work on, programming, and medium gaming (CS:S, tf2, half life 2, maybe modern warfare black ops). I was looking at the Alienware m11x r2 or I7 which I can get on ebay for around $800 and seems to be fairly portable (also the fact that it looks pretty neat). I am also looking at an Asus laptop. What would you guys recommend?
