The rumors can finally end, because both the m15x and m17x are now officially official. As we posted earlier today, NVIDIA have just announced their 8800M GTS and GTX cards, which Alienware has already thrown into these notebooks. Pricing is not known, but for those who want to be kept notified, you can hand over your e-mail address to Alienware and they will hook you up with that info once it’s found.
Aside from the killer graphic cards, the new notebooks feature Intel Extreme processors, 667MHz DDR2 (is mobile RAM ever going to speed up?) and support for at least two hard-drives, which can be used separately or in RAID 1 or 2. The m17x supports room for three, which makes sense because that model is also targeted towards content creators, not only gamers. If there is one thing that’s certain… it’s that these machines look amazing.

The most advanced notebook Alienware has engineered to date, the Area-51 m17x was designed for the serious computer enthusiast. Content creators render out 3D models, edit digital video and audio and encode music all in a real-time environment. Hardcore gamers can rip through the latest DirectX 10 games in full 1080p quality.
