Alienware M17 Alienware computers are internationally renowned as one of the finest gaming machines providers on the planet…

but with a look that makes the machine bordering on the extra terrestrial!

The M17 is the first notebook in the world that can be upgraded to a quad core processor, delivering unpresidented power that will literally blow the competition away. These monster processors run at 2.53GHz, with the faster speeds allowing multitasking with ease and next generation gaming running as smooth as silk.

Obviously Alienware are world famous as a gaming machine, so the graphics card is always going to be a high priority not just for the consumer, but also for the developer. This is why the M17 now has the capabilty to be fitted with the awesome Radeon CrossFire X card, which can increase the laptops graphical capability by up to a whopping 80%! The CrossFire X also features ATI PowerPlay technology, which allows the M17 to monitor GPU usage and adjust the graphics power accordingly, so no lag or freezing at important moments.

Storage space is also a high priority for serious gamers, so how does upto a 1TB grab you?! I know, for a laptop that’s insane! This machine can be well and truely pimped out to the absolute maximum. 1TB has the capability to save around 150 games. Does anybody need 150 games?! I’m sure somebody does, and if they do, the M17 can cope with the demand without feeling the pinch.

The M17 is available in the ruggard Black Skullcap design (as pictured) or the super smooth Black Ripley, and also features touchpad functionality. Plus with facial recognition security, a highly futuristic method of making sure your computer is hard to access, it’s safe to say that the Alienware M17 really is light years ahead of it’s competitors.
