Need help chossing a new laptop

[nik11105]

Hey guys so my alienware MX15 is well umm...sorta broken, see I was playing left for dead 2 with my friends and a zombie jumped at me out of nowhere while i was drinking tea and soyeah, you can put 2+2 together. Now to laptop what i liked:
It was a monster the performance from it was amazing just as good a desktop and thats about it. What i didn't was that it was HUGE! i mean massive and thick!
What i would like in my new one:
As THIN as POSSIBLE! (very important)
AS powerful as possible
Size would be from 15.4" - 17" (no bigger)
Now bugdet, right now i don't care as long as the laptop fits the specs.
Regards,

Thin and gaming laptop may be a difficult one to come by. Have you looked into another Alienware?

Im open to any sugestions...This may anger a lot of people but im liking the apple 15 and 17 inch laptops....

You will not get the best mobile gpus in a thin laptop btw. I've already looked.

My mate has one and plays games with us on it (StarCraft 2, Battlefield BC2, World Of Warcraft). Although he has to dual boot it for Windows games. Not sure it he is still running Bootcamp or some other software to allow this. But since the Apple machines can run windows installs there isn't a huge problem gaming on them. Buying an additional OS license can be a problem though.

I don't mind buying os licences so yeah i think the apple 17" looks very good...

Give us the hardware of the Apple you are looking at and the cost.

15 " Apple MacBook Pro:
2.2GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
750GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
MacBook Pro 15-inch Glossy Widescreen Display
AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5

Price coustomized:

2400 euro...

You'll want a 7200 rpm hard drive.

Here are the specs on that AMD Radeon: http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6750M.43958.0.html

What is the screen resolution?

8 gigs will serve you well.

* Check out PC Specialist in the UK and do some configuring with that 2400 Euro price.

The res is 1680 X 1080 I think...
