Since I’ll be speaking at New Media Expo in August, I’d thought it best if I actually purchased my own notebook computer instead of using someone else’s. As much as I’d love to buy a MacBook Pro, I can’t afford it on my own right now and Apple only gave me $240 worth of credit.

Alienware, however, gave me enough credit to purchase an Area 51 m9750 notebook pictured below:

Specs:

Video/Graphics Card: 512MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8700M GT - Enables DirectX® 10 Graphics!
Chassis: 17″ WideUXGA 1920 x 1200 LCD with Clearview Technology - Stealth Black
Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5500 1.66GHz 2MB Cache 667MHz FSB
Memory: 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SO-DIMM at 667MHz – 2 x 1024MB
Operating System: Windows® XP Professional
Hard Drive: 120GB 5,400RPM (8MB Cache)
Optical Drives : 8x Dual Layer Burner (DVD±RW, CD-RW) w/ LightScribe Technology
Wireless Network Card: Internal Intel® PRO Wireless 3945 a/b/g Mini-Card
Sound Card : High-Definition Audio with surround sound

I’ll be receiving this bad boy in about a week, and I’ll be sure and video the unboxing for everyone who’s interested to watch
