Nukem will become famous soon enough

Default Dell

I'm seriously thinking about getting the M1710 (modified) for my next lappy, but I'll have to sell my desktop(s) and my current lappy to get it. (Dell 8600)

I have read some good reviews (mostly) and I wanna see what ya'll thought about it. I want something that will play today's games and be compact enough to handle while I'm in Japan until I retire in '09. Any other comparable lappy's out there that might fit my bill better? of course the standard item apply:

2GB ram
dedicated GPU
XP home/pro (NO VISTA)
cpu speed can vary
100GB or better hhd space

and I do want something that will be with a warranty in case something does happen since I am going to be gone.

I know a good deal on a Laptop:

The Dell Online Store: Build Your System

only issue that its got Vista, and an 8400gs, but theres an option for an 8600m gt which could play some games....

or u could try Cyberpower for a laptop..
