Alienware's "Allpowerful" Laptop is the M17x

Can you say back breaker?

I wonder if that number includes the weight of the power brick.

LOL! This is wicked, and it beats hauling around my 15kg desktop with all the wires and keyboard!!!

It looks freak en awesome this new alienware notebook but 1 question about the solid state drive I think there is a miss print of sort but it looks very cool. When is it coming out and price range at full spec?

bah, with that cash u can build something even better, laptops are NOT made for gaming nomather what .

These laptops are for the ultimate spender. Shows offs. Plus I imagine battery life will go about 20 min at best with all those specs. Believe me If I had 5 or so grand to throw away I would get one. Take it to Starbucks and laugh at all the other puny sub $1000 lappys in there. When I would fire it up the store lights would dim, lol.

i wouldnt expect the battery to be gone in 20 minutes.

thats what the hybrid video cards are for. 9400m for when you arent plugged into a wall.

I think this is a typo.

I'll stick to my macbook pro which is half the weight of that monstrosity

I always hated h

Let's see your gimpy lil macbook run Mass Effect with all the bells and whistles @ 60 frames per second.

Me drools all over.

But does it blend?!?!?!

Lapcrusher?

I'm sorry to say but currently the fastest laptop is EUROCOM's D900F Panther at www.eurocom.com

I was just checking out that other website and they do have a ton of options you can select. Maybe TH should start looking at some of these other vendors and compare them with the better known boutique builders?

As for the claim of one being faster than the others, I'd rather wait and see some benchmarks/comparisons. But still, all these new laptops look like good desktop replacements for those looking for portable LAN party machines!

optional 1920x1200 screen...in a 17"?? wow I bet that looks unbelievable. Some insane pixel density.

I love how people refer to 10 pounds as "massive" or "whopping".

What is the weight of an adult human head? It weighs about 12 pounds. The only exception to the rule are folks who go to starbucks with their laptops. Then the size of the head is much larger. Bigheadeditisis. "Boy, that person sure has a big head." C'mon guys, 12 pounds is nothing.

At this point... They should at least put an i7 in ther... Burn your wallet... LITERALLY!

EUROCOM's D900F Panther does come with an i7 Nehalem from 2.66~3.33 GHz. I wish I could buy it but too darn expensive. Paying +$3K is just CRAZY!

but doesnt the panther allow only 1 280 instead of two like the alienware can. if thats the case then wouldn't it own the eurocom in gaming. plus the i7 wouldn't help a laptop any it would just drain battery like crazy well at least until a mobile version comes out.

but can it run crysis 2 using Cryengine 3?

I don't want to run Mass Effect with full effects on my laptop. This thing is so heavy it may as well be a desktop anyways. If I want to play games I'll play on my desktop and if I want to surf the web at the library I'll bring my laptop. It is impossible to combine the two into a desirable package and this machine is by no means desirable, at all. The closest thing to a gaming laptop and a desirable laptop is the Macbook Pro but who the hell wants to spend at least $2000 on a laptop? Not me.

who is the ODM is what I want to know. Probably Clevo with those GPUs maybe Arima again. But this will be the best laptop to date.

FYI, the GTX280m is the same as a desktop GTS 250. Not the best, but great for a laptop, especially with the 9400m to save power on battery. This could be popular.

This is nothing. Go to clevo.com and check out their top end laptop (they actually make all the laptops for Alienware, Sager, ProStar, EUROCOM, and the former Imperial which I loved )
They have their new i7 based version either out or coming soon. I am just hoping they will start to make some AMD/ATI high end models. Haven't seen since the D900t, D9**T etc days with the X2 which killed their horrible P4s at the time.
How about an AM3 based version with PH2 955 and a dual HD4890 1GB with 8 GB of DDR3 and 3 Voliciraptor 10K 2.5HDD in tri raid to boot. Then AMD can boast.

2.1 inches thick? I'll stick to my Unibody MacBook Pro..... and queue the thumbs down.

up* (:

Seriously immature.

I mean, you could mention that his crappy integrated graphics couldn't run Crysis at 800x600.

Or better yet, make a joke about Steve Jobs raping his wallet.

But that's just retarded.

WHAT?! you have got to be joking right? 12 freaking pounds? are you smurfs? or just 2 feet tall and lifting a few coke cans is a huge hassle. if it had like a 20 inch screen i would so buy it with all the upgrades.
