My internship at a web design company has turned into a job. My girlfriend is awesome. And tomorrow I'm ordering an Alienware laptop, for aforementioned job.
The specs, you're wondering?
Alienware Area-51 m5790.

-Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.16ghz.
-17" WideUXGA 1920x1200 LCD
-80GB Serial ATA HDD (I'll be adding a 160gb drive within a month)
-2GB Dual Channel DDR2 667MHZ RAM
-8X Dual Layer DVD+/-RW
-256MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1800
-Alienware Odyssey Backpack
I'm excited to get it. I'll be ordering it tomorrow, but it'll take at least 2+ weeks to get here. Since I've been hired part time (for now while I'm still in school) doing web design and Flash stuff, I figured it was time to get a laptop that I could bring to work with me that could handle the apps that I use. As of now they let me use an old 1ghz, 512mb ram Powerbook G4. It's terrible for multitasking with Photoshop and Flash. And it'll obviously be great for gaming. It'll definitely be a laptop that I can use for anything.
