Good configs can get very expensive • No 16:9 display

Superb performance in one of the sturdiest and best-looking gaming laptops we've seen – the Alienware M17x is worth the expense.
It's a system packed with small, thoughtful details: the Alienware logo above the keyboard is both power button and hard disk status indicator all in one - the eyes flash to show activity. Alienware can engrave your name on the underside, and you can ...
Neither the 17in screen nor the wide wristrest flexed when prodded and pushed in anger, and the rest of the chassis feels rock-solid - but with a chassis this large and hefty (the M17x is 45mm thick and weighs 5.54kg), we'd expect nothing less. The...

Great looks, illuminated keyboard, HDMI, Blu-ray, SLI graphics, RAID 0, high-definition screen
Blu-ray drive sometimes had problems closing, touch buttons didn't always work, indicator for 'stealth' status isn't immediately clear, no e-SATA, expensive
High frame rates and fast performance are hallmarks of this high-definition notebook, but it also looks fantastic. If you don't already have the funds for it, you might want to start saving like you've never saved before!
Alienware's Area-51 M17X is one of those laptops, but you'll need to empty your mattress of your life savings in order to buy it.
