Alienware machines are overpriced and over-hyped, but you've got to admit, when they go top-end they usually do it right. Jason Cross over at ExtremeTech reviews their latest desktop replacement laptop, the Area-51m 7700, and it's pretty impressive—as it should be, since it forgoes most laptop parts and actually uses desktop chips crammed inside its not-so-portable 12-pound chassis. What you get in the end is a laptop that should rarely leave your desk, but provides most of the functionality of a full-size PC. Look, it even comes with all the fans of a regular-sized PC.
