I got the new Alienware M11X to use on this deployment and I have to say... this little notebook is a beast. I highly recommend it for anyone going into the AOR that needs a powerful computer that takes up as little space as possible. I am able to run Fallout 3 and Dragon Age: Origins on it at max graphics settings with no lag. Perfect for keeping along on a deployment to Skype with family and friends and it uses the webcam as a biometric login as well -- which is supposedly going to be an industry standard when Windows 8 rolls around.
