Ardjuna takes a look at the first mobile quad-core notebook we've seen. Can this and the M17's ATI CrossFire X graphics deliver gaming nirvana?
there aren't many laptops out there that offer it.

Alienware is back with a bang - with a threefold attack on the PC gaming arena. Along with the M14x and the M18x, the Alienware M17x R4 has had an Intel Ivy Bridge-flavoured refresh for 2012.

Alienware M17XR3 almost the ultimate 3D gaming laptop
Expert review by : Cliff Joseph (techadvisor.co.uk)

The sharp stealth fighter looks, the colourful keyboard, the great speakers and the awesome internals make the M17x R3 a brilliant entry by Alienware into the high end laptop gaming space. I would highly recommend it to any gamer because of the...

The Alienware M17x is one of the most powerful laptops on the planet. It features graphics performance that puts most PCs to shame, and you can easily play the latest games on the move. Just don't plan on travelling too far, as it's also one of the...
We like the Alienware M17x. If you're looking for a gaming laptop, then few choices are better than this. It's amazingly well made, powerful, well-specced and comfortable. It's just not that portable. Alienware M17x is tagged with Alienware M17x,...
