New Alienware Area-51 M15x - I want one!

[jezzer256]

Hi all

Just got an email from Alienware USA announcing the latest laptop to their range, to replace the Area-51 M5550 (this laptop has already been withdrawn in the USA). The basics: A 15.4" model with an 8800M GTX card in it, Core 2 Duo CPUs and of course plenty of RAM & HDD space.

I've always wanted a gaming laptop but thought that a 17" beast would be just too heavy for me to lug around. When this laptop comes to the UK, I'm definitely gonna be persuading someone to buy it for me (yeah right)!

See here for more info.

from what I have read, its basically a 15.4" screen in a 17" chassis. Could be wrong though.

Hmm. On this youtube vid it looks pretty dinky to me

Looking at that video there seems to be a lot of loose play in the hinge system on that laptop lol

 

[jezzer256]

Yeah lol its wobbling all over the place. Who cares with an 8800m gtx though

Suppose when the hinges snap and the screen flops back you'll have a 8800M GTX pacman table top arcade machine hehehe

Hmm, well, that'd be quite cool I think
