Alienware Area-51 m15x Gaming Laptop Officially Released From Its LED-Lit Cocoon

While we're supposed to be mesmerized by the Alienware m15x's impressive-for-a-15-incher specs—Intel Core 2 Extreme, NVIDIA Geforce 8800M GTX and hot-swappable dual hard drives—we're kind of more tranced out by its over-the-top LED glow. It's available today, months after first being teased—a bit more hype than necessary for a gaming notebook. The Core 2 Extreme config starts at $3,350, so bring plenty of your earth monies.

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 »

New AlienWare Notebooks

Alienware is kicking us some new widescreen Area 51 laptops that don't seem as heavy or expensive as some of its other delightful desktop replacement products. The 17-inch m5700 ($1399) and the 15.4-inch m5500 ($1049) both include high-definition audio, an option for WUXGA 1920 x 1200 LCD displays and rubberized grips while the 17-inch monster throws down with NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 graphics, dual SATA hard drives in RAID configurations, and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition. The m5500 is no slough either, with Intel Centrino mobile technology, DDR2 Alienware-qualified memory and Graphics Control Technology, which lets you switch between the advanced capabilities of the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 and Intel Media Graphics Accelerator depending on performance and battery needs. And this one weighs-in at just 6 pounds. More »
