Thanks for all the responses... thought you guys were due an update...
Alienware have decided to go with the ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 with 128MB DDR instead of the go5600 - and because I pre-ordered they are upgrading for free... so no complaints there.
I work for a film production company as their IT manager/in house video editor/web designer etc... i.e. the tech guy. So my machine will be desk based most of the time, but I do need to be able to relocate quicky, without rebooting, and could have to setup anywhere we happen to be shooting (normaly a studio in London). I probably won't be using it for too many games (well, maybe one or two) - it will need to double as a mobile Avid system (hence the power). Otherwise it will just run your regular office software/photoshop/flash etc.
The weight isn't an issue (trust me I can cope - but thanks for your concerns!), I'm told it is 9-10lbs - and the three underside fans reportedly do a great (and surprisingly quiet) job of cooling it down.
I should get it delivered sometime next week, and can't wait. Benchmarks posted when I get it (and have checked the Titty board).
