I hate Alienware – every time they release a new laptop I feel an urgent need to upgrade my trusty old Dell. Damn them and their devilishly tempting designs. Now they’ve done it again with the Alienware M15x, an even more tempting proposition because it doesn’t cost as much as the wonderful M17x.
Powered by one of Intel’s latest Core i7 CPUs and an (optional) Nvidia GeForce GTX 260M graphics card, the M15x will be more than capable of handling current games. The standard CPU option is the 2.8GHz 720QM, but for a hefty premium you can opt for the 3.2GHz 920XM with 8MB cache.
As the name suggests the Alienware M15x uses a 15.6-inch screen capable of resolutions of up to 1600×900, although that can be upgraded to a 1920×1080 resolution.
Prices start at $1,499, but don’t kid yourself – as soon as you get onto the Dell website you’ll be speccing it up to way more than that price!

Haha, hope you seriously do hate Alienware. Cause I sure do. Sager/Clevo brought out a better 15.6in laptop that is the 'allpowerful' lol. Sager NP8690 is also 15.6 inches, also core i7, nVidia GTX280m standard (no dumb upgrade to only a 260), has HDMI port, weighs 2 pounds less, and GPU/CPU has seperate cooling. Starts at $1641 at xoticpc.com which is more than $1499 but try spend 200 more on the alienware and it can't compare.

This will most likely be the laptop I'm getting once Windows 7 hits.
