Long Live Film!!!
I vote for raw power and price.
I use a Clevo 900C. The clevo is a generic (oem) lappie but supports SLI for gaming.
On my configuration, i'm running a quad core 2.4, 4gigs of dual channel 800mhz ram, 1066ghz fsb, 1gb of video ram on SLI (GeForce 7950GTX 512mb x 2). The lcd it came with is a sony 1680x1050, but i plug it out via dvi to my external CRT anyways.
I've been runnin CS3, Lightroom, and a whole bunch of audio engineering software on the lappie without a hitch. Not to mention achieving nearly 82-106FPS at the max settings for BF2, 2142, crysis, fear, and quake.
best of all, i bought it a year back for abouts 2.5 usdK from a retailer in taiwan. There are a bunch of other companies who can put the system together for you if you're interested. ( new york, cali based)
About macs, yeah, they're good and i use them a bunch at work also, but for the price vs raw performance and not to mention ability to upgrade parts without paying a BOMB, (upgrading my vid cards next month to the 8800 GTXs), go for a basic widows based lappie.
feel free to drop me a PM if you have any other questions.
just my 2 cents...
