Need Advice on a New Laptop

[remagi]

As mentioned on the internal Agony boards, work related I got a Dell M1330 recently, and I have to say it's a solid unit for the price. Under $2K and with the 8400GM/2.2Ghz Core Duo it pretty much crushes games - WoW frame rates in the 100's, never seen worse than 40.

Maybe it's because I am poor and sketchy but I never buy anything without reading at least a score of reviews first. Unfortunately I was unable to locate a single review of the CRZ-97. Is it a brand new model? I found it for sale at many bargain spots like Newegg but no one has had anything to say about it yet.

looks like a newer model

of concern is the size of the power supply, but i dont know the consumption needs of the various new hardware.
Heat has been the killer of my last 3 notebooks over a 10 yr period.
