Product Details
The 15.4-inch Alienware Area-51 m15x laptop spares no expense packing cutting-edge gaming hardware into its frame; for that reason, it will appeal to the niche market of very hardcore gamers, but other consumers can meet their needs at a lower price.
The latest iteration of the m15x will be shipping on October 22nd, 2009 with Intel's extremely fast mobile Core i7 processor — not a lot in the way of battery life, but it's a gamer's dream. Processor options range from 1.6 GHz to 2 GHz. Other hardware includes a GeForce 260M graphics card with 1 GB of memory and up to 8 GB of system RAM.
Prices start at $1,500.
