Gaming Notebooks

It's been told over and over through the grapevine that Alienware is the best bet. My first impression would be Alienware for sure.

yeah, I'd go with alienware as well, although their laptops can be very expensive if you want them for gaming...if you have the cash then definetly go with Alienware.

as for raid, depending on the configuration will either make your harddrives faster or more stable. you usually have the option when configuring your comp.
