I'm looking to buy a new laptop. Looking for recommends. I want to dual box Wow and D3. What are you all running out there?

I box three characters in Wow on a 2 yr old M11x Alienware laptop. Everything has to be turned down to the lowest settings on all three instances, but it works fine.
I've been thinking of upgrading to a newer M14x. I know there were some problems with ISBoxer and the "optimus" system that Alienware laptops use to switch between the integrated video card and the dedicated card, but Lax fixed it. Hopefully, that fix still applies to the later generation Alienware laptops... I suspect it does. I just would hate to buy this new laptop, specifically for boxing and find out it doesn't work, which is what happened when I got the M11x. :P

Just picked up a Samsung Series 7 gamer. Why? Because I was on a tight time frame and needed something fast. Otherwise I probably would have boughten something from Alienware, Sager, MSI, or Ibuypower. The ATI 7970m card is VERY good, great bang for your buck over the gtx675m.
My samsung has an amazing display though. It is an i7 with 16gb ram and gtx675m, runs BF3 and CS:GO great.
Shoot for a 7970m with 16gb ram and an i7.
