Simple question.

Asus EEE 1000?

Or get the new Dell one, Inspiron somethingorother?

If he's wanting to play games, get an Xbox or a Desktop, laptops rarely get better performance than a similarly priced desktop

He has a XPS desktop, he wants a laptop or 360 now. He'll get the other like a 3 months later but for Xmas he wants one of them...

I would advise against XPS laptops, they're not designed for gaming much anymore and alienware (which is now linked into that section for some reason) is way over priced. Plus I had my M1330 repaired about 8 times till it finally stopped completly (I actually had my laptops motherboard replaced then have the graphics chipset stop working ,on the same day, which is on the motherboard -_-).

I now have a HP Dv5 whatever and it just works and no problems...Yet (Also the media centre remote is better then the dell one)

Well with the ideas you've mentioned, like he plays games on the computer and has mentioned he would like one to walk around the house with, then a laptop. He'll use it more it seems.

Plus as people have mentioned, not all laptops are capable of playing games on, and he has a desktop computer by the sounds of it, which he'll for games.

What is the spec of the desktop because if it can play games better then theres no point getting one equivelent just to go on msn...

EEE PC for gaming?

Inspiron isn't for gaming either really, just general use.

Their linked because alienware is owned by dell.

There is XPS and XPS gaming/alienware. For gaming you need XPS Gaming/Alienware. A 1330/1530 wouldn't be needed.
