I switched all my desktops to laptops, and my primary laptop is:
3.0Ghz with HT and 800Mhz FSB.
1GB DDR PC3200 RAM
60GB 7200RPM HD
ATI M10 Mobility 128Mb Dedicated VRAM
17" LCD Screen
DVD/CDRW
10/100/1000 On-Board NIC

Is that an Alienware? I have almost the same layout with the nvida 128 fxgo 5600 and I love it. Resource hogs are not a problem at all.
Run photoshop and vmware with freebsd or mandrake at the same time without any issues. It will even run premiere an dcan handle encoding video.
17 inches with 1600*1200 makes for a very nice workspace.
