Alienware Area-51m 7700 - Gaming Notebook

**MIG-31** · Apr 8, 2005, 07:47 AM

The Alienware name is almost legendary in PC gaming circles. Along with Voodoo, Alienware has tried to make gaming PCs look as good as they perform and has built up a following from users that want to take something special out of their rucksack when they hit the latest LAN party. But this time around Alienware had its work cut out, because making this particular chassis look cool, is far from easy.

The Area-51m 7700 is built into the same Clevo chassis that I've seen previously in the shape of the MV Ixius and the Rock Xtreme Ti. Now, to be fair to Alienware, it's understandable why this chassis is being used, since it's the only one currently available that can handle the latest, high-end graphics chipsets, but I for one am looking forward to some new designs for high-power gaming notebooks.
