Warning : Before you read this piece of article, a word of caution for those weak hearts, who cannot take surprises and too much of good news! The Dell Alienware M17X Laptop is a powerful device with breath-taking specifications and jaw dropping features. Hence, please take deep breaths and then plunge further.
Majestic, humongous, yet attractive, Alienware M17X Laptop has got it all right on the looks front. The royal black with the crimson lighting around the keys, trackpad and lower edge, definitely make this hulk look unique. The lighting zone might even be capable of emitting other colour lights.
This Alienware laptop is mighty from the inside as well. The Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz processor has been employed for handling internal operations. There is an option to upgrade this to a quad core processor too. Boosting up the processing speed is a supreme 8GB DDR3 RAM. The hard drive capacity is a walloping 1TB. One terabyte is equivalent to 1024GB! (Hope you are still deep breathing!) You could even opt for a 512GB Solid State Drive instead. A Blu Ray optical drive is housed in this beast as well.
All you gaming enthusiasts might have their hearts racing and craving for more details. A 17-inch LCD widescreen monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels is featured. Clear, crisp and detailed displays are hence a surety. For graphics, dual 1GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 280M GPUs are used. There is a long line-up of connections aboard this gamers’ paradise too – 4 USB ports, a USB/eSATA combo port, a Firewire port, a Displayport, a HDMI link, a VGA connection, an ExpressCard slot, an 8-in-1 card reader and audio sockets for 6.1 Dolby sound. Also built-in is a 2 Megapixel camera for video conferencing.
Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity are offered by this machine. Face recognition is supported for security. With a thickness of 2.11” and a weight close to 5kg, this workstation is not very portable. However, since it is more of a multimedia and gaming laptop, you wouldn’t be traveling often with it. A 9-cell battery has been employed for power supply. A reasonably good battery life can thus be expected too. Coming to the price, the Alienware M17X Gaming Laptop costs $1800 in the USA. The UK price will be announced sometime soon.
