I currently have a g71gx that I bought when I needed a laptop immediately and didn't have time to wait for shipping or much shopping around. I've been mostly happy with it, unsolvable key repeating issue and a growing tendency to overheat despite replacing the thermal paste aside. Now I'm starting to get the itch for another notebook but I really don't want another Asus. The keyboard issue and that my GPU crippling itself if it spikes to 80+ degrees Celsius makes me think that it might be worth dropping the money to get a system from a custom store instead of off the shelf.
Alienware is the most well known but I really don't know much about shopping around for these. I'd like as much gaming/processing power as possible. I'm still back on forth on whether I'd get another desktop replacement or prefer something more mobile. The behemoth that I've got now is a workout to carry around or even leave on your lap for too long.
If I'm willing to spend $4000 or so, does anyone have any suggestions on the best configurations or system builders they like? I can't believe Alienware is the only game in town. Also, any ideas on how fast do you think these sites will start stocking ivy bridge notebooks?
