I picked up a 14" TrueBright Toshiba with very similar specs as to post #26 (M chip at 1.5 being the largest difference and 128MB shared video memory and 512x1 RAM) for $450 (after rebates and such), added another 512MB RAM for $40 and I was off.
I think Alienware systems, both portable and especially desktops, are extremely overpriced. Buy a bad-a$$ed case, board and chip you want, load it up with memory and a good sound and video card and you are well under $1k which you can spend on buying a nice display. Remember kids, high price doesn't mean the best. A great example of that is the ATI Radeon X800 XL. Get them on sale now for like $250 and no more than $275 (check pricewatch and can usually get them around $225) and it comes very close to some $450 cards.
During his WWDC keynote, Steve Jobs touted iCloud as a service that will sync many of your Apple devices, for free. Macs, iPhones, iPads, and even Windows computers can synchronize documents, contacts, calendar appointments, and other data.
