Alienware Area-51 m15x Available

The Area-51 m15x is a high-end laptop that packs a lot of punch, but in a form-factor that many would deem too bulky: 1.3 x 14.55 x 10.73” and 7 lbs. For that price, you will get the highest performing components and small details like an illuminated keyboard that is amazingly absent from high-end Vaio laptops! Below is the ($2999) high-end configuration that I would go for. what about you? (Configuration page)

• 15.4” 1920×1200 display
• 512MB GeForce 8800M GTX
• Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 2.4Ghz (adding $650 for an additional 400Mhz is not worth it)
• 4GB RAM (3GB would have been better, but I don’t see the option), you can also buy the RAM separately
• Intel Turbo Memory ($40 is expensive for a flash drive, but the integration is better than having an USB stick on the side)
• 200GB 7200RPM HDD
• 8X Dual Layer DVD Burner
• WiFi-N
