[Starlight]

Alienware, Dell's premier high-performance PC gaming brand, has unveiled the M17x, with three NVIDIA GeForce graphics processing units (GPUs) to provide an unrivaled visual computing experience.

As a launch vehicle for the global expansion of the Alienware brand, Alienware equipped the M17x with a pair of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M enthusiast-class GPUs with NVIDIA SLI Technology along with the GeForce 9400M GPU to create the world's most powerful 17-inch notebook.

To quote: "NVIDIA GeForce GPUs delivered the no compromise performance we demanded from our flagship gaming notebook," said Arthur Lewis, general manager for Dell's gaming group. "With the M17x, we will offer gamers in 35 countries the most innovative notebook product Alienware has ever created."

"Alienware built the M17x specifically for gamers, and gamers want GeForce graphics," said Rene Haas, general manager of notebook GPUs at NVIDIA. "By pushing technology and design innovation, Alienware strives to deliver the best, most immersive gaming experience possible."

Built with the gamer in mind, the M17x pushes technology and design innovation, establishing a precedent for combining best-in-class performance with striking design.

Alienware M17x laptops deliver scorching gaming performance by combining the horsepower of two discrete GeForce GTX 280M GPUs with NVIDIA SLI technology, and have the option of switching to a quiet operation mode with NVIDIA HybridPower? technology.

In HybridPower operation, the powerful GTX 280M GPUs are powered down and graphics operation is transferred to the GeForce 9400M GPU to save battery life while still delivering great graphics.

Hmm.... I thought the whole point of Notebooks was portability and the ability to sit down and browse the web, write up documents etc. on the go, clearly I must be wrong. I would love to see how much battery life it has when all three are running lets say ~15minutes. It simple if you want to game buy a desktop PC or a console if you want something portable don't buy this.

This looks awesome, even if you have to carry around a generator to power the thing.

Looks good, if it works good too it will be a nice laptop for gaming.

The question is.... Will it blend?

To be serious, I want one but it will most likely have these problems.

1:Be WAYYYYYYY too expensive.
2:Have a shot battery life and....
3:Not be able to run all games a gaming pc can.

This I really really want one, but I will never get it. Maybe I could use it as a recording station. Mobile recording station FTW!

I would never have to worry about finishing a video again... GOD I WANT IT!

Not to mention it's 1 and a half times the power of the PS3....
