Dell Alienware M18x Gaming Notebook Review - HotHardware

http://hothardware.com - Big, bad and unapologetic. These three words accurately describe the Alienware M18x. Unapologetic about its size, this is a desktop replacement notebook that almost defies the entire category class of portable machines. One M18x came strapped with a pair of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580M GPUs in SLI, ready to throw down. The other machine came packing heat with dual AMD Radeon HD 6990M GPUs in CrossFire, just as angry and twitching to do battle.

@FXSwissTrader not overpriced for me :) I just ordered an AW M18X off the AAFES website and get the Dell EPP discount (30% off the retail price) and got it fully loaded with a Core i7 2760QM, two GTX580M in SLI, and a Blu-ray reader for $2236 O.o Not at all overpriced for me...lol. I had enough money left over to buy a Corsair ForceGT 240GB to run the OS and will use the 750GB Seagate drive from my old laptop. This laptop is a beast and the MSI GT780DXR can not compete!

New way to get free Alienware laptops. It's all on my video. This is real, read the comments on my video and look how many people have liked it. There is also proof on my web site that it works. Check it out: /watch?v=KLAajnAfSVs

@mstrx21 You can go from 1999 to 4000. A good enough one would be around 3500. It all depends on how much you are willing to pay for your entretainment and how much you can actually pay for it.
