alienware is retarded. Go bash me all you want but I ever had both M15X Area-51 (older version), and the new M11X. They use plastic instead of hinge to move their laptop lid, unbelievable...
I would suggest you to get MBP, buy 2 years apple care, and install bootcamp (use windows xp cracked version for bootcamp). It'll run good for games and SEO softwares. You would surely need the apple care protection though as the hardware might not be reliable enough. VAIO is another option but they are also expensive.

... my heads goona explode!!!
will think abt the new lappy tomor now...
problem i face with mac pro is that its falling out of my range..... it will cost me around 2.5 k..
and macbook config is a bit old... i had similar config with my existing laptop....
what i was planning to do is buy latest dell xps 15 with 2 to 3 year warranty... this will cost me around 1.6k...

You said that your old laptop was Dell and you had problems with it and you still wanna buy another Dell. Look at tech forums to see how many problems Dell and HP have. Those companies can't make laptops. Plus they tend to make "smart" laptops. You can't charge Dell and HP with non original charger. Think at that too.

Sony Viao hands down Mac is great but I would rather virtualize osx then buy a machine that houses it if you want something to last you but i reccommend getting a desktop for black hat stuff this way you can spend like 500-800 dollars and get a machine that will virtualize and if you get a motherboard that allows you to place another processor on it you can really create a powerful machine running multiple os's

yes i do realise that .. and i personally dont want to go after a dell or HP...
but then the other laptops having high config are costing too much.. out of my budget of 1.5 to 2k...

even i thought of going after a desktop.. but then that will kil the mobility part of it...
i need a laptop first and then i can go for a desktop...
Sony has good laptops.. problem being their price tags... the configuration that i get in a 1.6k dell laptop will cost me 2.5k in a sony laptop...

If I was on a tight budget I'd probably look at an Asus, they are nice, affordable, and quality.
Just great for a cost effective laptop.

Don't feel bad for the HP. I've had a HP dv6-1250us (apparently an older version of yours) for over 2 years without any major problem once I put window's 7 on it. It's gotten slow and very glitchy starting up, but other than that it's still great...you probably won't even have slow startup with the newer processor.
I use mine mainly as a desktop, but it has seen hot temperatures and a couple of hard drops. And yes, they do completely suck outdoors due to the LED screen.
And as for Dell, my parents still use their first computer, a 6 year old Dell desktop. Although years ago windows xp refused to reinstall on it no matter what, it has not had any hardware failures. It was NEVER even opened up and cleaned out until a few months ago, and it stays constantly running!
My next laptop when/if this one dies will probably be a custom built one by some local company or possibly a Macbook if I decide I like them.
