Mac vs Alienware

MacBook Pro vs. Alienware M17x

I still have a lot of time to decide, but these were the two choices I was thinking about for a college laptop (graduating in 2011). I will be going into a art related field probably involving Graphic Design or some form of computer art.
I know Alienware is a PC and these fields are most typically Mac dominated, but I know not everyone has the money to shell out on a new Mac. I was deciding between the two since they are close in price and since I prefer to buy something that’ll last a while (if all goes well, it is a machine; I am very careful and take really good care of my belongings).
Just tell me your views. I am willing to upgrade components if you want to get technical.

lets see:

Macbook pro

Hardware: Mid class intel processor, minimal RAM, chipset graphics, proprietary operating system

Aesthetics: Silver and square, as always

Alienware:

cutting edge CPU, loads of memory, Nvida graphics, Creative sound processor.
stylish and cool looking
runs any operating system you want, Linux would be the best

Help me with: why does music suck so bad?

True, but this needs to be compatible with my field of study too.

It is so sad to see that macintosh has such a tight grip over certain markets–art design, journalism–for little reason, and with such crappy overpriced computers to boot.
