Alienware releases yet another notebook powered by an Intel Extreme X9000 processor, now featuring a 17-inch HD display.
The Alienware Area-51 m17x is a commanding and aggressive addition to the newly redesigned Area-51 line of notebook computers. Alienware received a lot of buzz when introducing the 15.4-inch Area-51 m15x earlier this year, and the company has once again upped the ante for its systems. With a 17-inch, widescreen HD display, the Alienware Area-51 m17x is designed for PC gamers, 3D content creators and multimedia enthusiasts.
A 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 processor teams with the power of dual, SLI-enabled NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX GPUs. Dual 500GB drives configured in a RAID 0 array plus a 500GB Smart Bay drive for additional storage would give a user a 1.5TB capacity, accommodating approximately 250 games, 375 full-length movies or nearly 400,000 songs. Add 4GB of DDR2 SDRAM, Windows Vista Ultimate and a dual layer Blu-ray burner to the picture, and $6000 will give you a full-equipped Alienware Area-51 m17x.
When asked to compare the Alienware Area-51 m17x to its sibling system, the Area-51 m15x, a company spokesperson said, "The Area-51 m15x is ideally suited for road warriors or students who are constantly on the move but still want that boost of power Alienware delivers. The Area-51 m17x is for professionals and hardcore enthusiasts who want pure, unbridled performance with the added benefit of portability."
The Alienware Area-51 m17x is available now, starting at $2200 for a minimum configuration and easily climbing to $6000 for a full-equipped system.
