Alienware m9750
While we'll have to wait on some benchmarks to find out if Alienware's new Area-51 m9750 laptop is actually the world's "most powerful 17-inch system," there's no denying that the specs are plenty hot. The laptop features SLI NVIDIA graphics, Core 2 Duo processors, a Blu-ray optical drive, dual HDD up to 200GB per and up to 2GB of dual-channel DDR2 667MHz RAM. That 17-inch monitor features an eyesight bustin' 1920 x 1200 resolution, and should look nice with Vista, which will come pre-installed on the laptop. Alienware even tossed in a TV tuner and a full-size numeric keypad. No word on price or availability, but January 30th (Vista's out) seems a decent guess, and "a whole wad of cash" seems quite likely as well.
It is equipped with the Intel Core 2 Duo (4MB Cache, 667MHz FSB) and 945PM Chipset, up to 4GB RAM, two video Nvidia GeForce Go 7950 GTX 512MB GDDR3 or nForce 100 SLI, 400GB hard drive, 17 ” display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200, TV tuner card, optical drive, or DVD-RW Dual Layer Blu-ray, Wi-Fi a / b / g / n, two embedded speakers and subwoofer, as well as Windows Vista.
