Alienware Further Teases Us With Powerful Area-51 Notebooks
All that pre-release hype from Alienware we heard last week led up to even more pre-release hype today, with the company unveiling its two new laptops, the Area-51 m15x and m17x. It's calling the radical PCs "the most powerful notebooks ever created." There's still an air of mystery around the two laptops, but we do know that both the 15.4" Area-51 m15x and the 17" Area-51 m17x will be using Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme processors at 2.8GHz, and will have enough graphics mojo to play 1080p video and beaucoups games. Pricing and availability still weren't announced, so stay tuned. Meanwhile, feast your eyes on the pretty pics of these highly capable baubles from the extraterrestrials.

Alienware Sticks Both SSD and HDD in One Freakish Laptop
Alienware now gives you the option of sticking both a 64GB SSD as well as an additional 200GB platter-based hard drive into their top-of-the-line laptop, delivering the benefits of running a computer off an SSD (less power consumption, faster startup, etc) with the higher storage of traditional hard drives. It's not the first laptop with a SSD that large (Toshiba beat them to that), but it is the first to feature both types of drives in one laptop. The option is available now on the Area 51 m9750 for a nice $1,150 extra on top of whatever other crazy crap you decide to load their highest-end portable with. [Product Page]

Alienware Notebooks Offered With Solid State RAID 0 Array

Offered on its Area-51 m5550, Area-51 m9750 and Aurora m9700 notebooks, the option also includes a garden-variety 200GB hard drive, just in case that 64-gig array doesn't give you enough storage space. But all this is going to be crazy expensive, right? More »
