Alienware is perhaps, thanks to its extraterrestrial designs and robust gaming systems, the most well-known boutique vendor in the PC business. Continuing the trend is the Aurora m7700 laptop ($4,169 direct) that's built with tons of processing power and 3D prowess, thanks to an AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 desktop processor and the nVidia GeForce Go 7800 GTX graphics card. Aside from the hit the price puts on your wallet, be prepared to handle some serious shoulder strain when lugging around this 12.4-pound monstrosity.
