Yesterday I showed you a teaser for Alienware’s new “Allpowerful” gaming notebook. Today I can give you more details.

The system is called the M17x and is the successor to last year’s M17 system.

Check out the M17x image gallery

The M17x is a massive system, measuring in at 400.5mm x 321.31mm x 53.59mm and weighing in at around 5.3kg.

 

Prices start at $1,799 and this gets you a system that features a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 CPU, a GeForce 9400M IGP, and a discrete GeForce GTX 260M, 4GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive and a 9-cell Li-Ion battery.

Throw more cash at the system and you can have a quad-core Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU, a pair of GeForce GTX 280M GPUs bridged by SLI, 8GB of RAM, a 512GB solid state drive, Blu-ray optical drive and a very nice 1,920 x 1,200 edge-to-edge LCD.
