Alienware All Powerful M17x Breaks Free Early

Well – what a shocker!

Alienware‘s All Powerful gaming laptop has broken free – just proves that it is in fact all powerful!

So how about those clues?

Was the decoding right?

Well, yeah. Pretty much.

The lappy does get a pair of 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M GPUs but no Core i7.

You do get a Core 2 Extreme quad-core CPU at the top end with up to 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 memory, and 1TB of 7200-rpm disk or a 512GB SSD if you prefer.

Other bits n bobs include a nine-cell battery (longevity not disclosed), FireWire, 4x USB, eSATA, ExpressCard, 802.11n WiFi, 8-in-1 media card reader, dual-layer Blu-ray, a 1920 x 1200 pixel edge-to-edge LCD, DisplayPort and HDMI-outs.

It’s also packing a GeForce 9400M G1 GPU with HybridPower technology that allows you to scale the graphics back to conserve battery power.

All of that is enclosed in a chunky chassis weighing in at 11.68 pounds and measures 15.98 x 12.65 x 2.11 inches.

 Word is that prices start at $1,799 and then keeps going skywards.
