Alienware M17x - Exclusive Preview @ DH

Read The Preview Here
_____________
Back in 2006 there was a significant change behind the scenes at Alienware when they became part of the Dell corporation. For the first 3-years of the changeover the products released by the two divisions continued under the existing branding with Dell continuing to use XPS for their high end enthusiast products.

This situation changes with the launch of the Alienware M17x, the first machine to be released in a post XPS era. Today, for the first time in their history Alienware are allowing a publication to preview a product as yet unavailable to purchase by the public.

This one looks really good I can't wait to see the review on the final release. Read Stu's observations on the display, CPU and video adapter amongst other features and see nothing I am personally unhappy with.

The lighting and keyboard back lighting also looks very sharp

nice machine, bet it costs a fortune. also not sure about the size factor either, looks to be really massive to me.

Nice attention to detail though.

very nice indeed. nice build and design and I like the lighting on it.

Interesting to hear that XPS will be no more and Alienware are the new high end gaming systems, long overdue really.
