Pros: It has Intel Core Duo Processors. Its the best solution for your entertainment needs. The graphics is AWESOME and the quality of sound and picture is amazing.

Cons: Its for entertainment value. Its heavy than most laptops and they have superfluous software in the computer that even 1 GIG of RAM cant handle. You can expect it to slow down as you add more programs into it.

I agree with you on the security. I think it will offer less security with all the addons and programs that will get built into it.

From what I can tell, not just with XPS computers, but all "gaming" oriented computers such as Alienware, no, they don't offer less production/protection. In fact, the machines can do a lot more. Since they are build with being able to play the newest games in mind, their power can also be used for simple everyday tasks, such as writing a paper for school, while listening to music, chatting with friends, and downloading pictures.

Plus, you can play the newest games on the highest settings with no trouble :)

You just need to think about how much you will be playing games. Is a $2,500 difference worth being able to play the newest Need for Speed on the highest settings? You can still play all the newest games in a normal home computer, provided it has a decent video card and a lot of RAM. Just play the game on lower settings, and you're fine. Again, it boils down to how much time you'll be spending playing games.
