Hey Everyone, I'm curious what you guys think about the Alienware alpha for someone who travels a lot.

just to set the mood of my life, I have been a casual gamer from the time I was gifted a nintendo 64 and have traveled a ps3 or xbox with me for some time now. the ps3 I've been traveling died in some way and it made me reconsider traveling the ps3. I like the idea of traveling a pc to play games on and also have it be something to put youtube and Netflix and (insert name of internet video service here). My job has me travel 345 ays out of the year. I bounce from hotel room to hotel room across the country and most of my stuff travels via truck or bus depending on if I'm flying to the next city or not.

My question is this, Is it worth the price for the form factor? If not is there something that would match in size or smaller and give me the same or better performance?
