Get this if you are
1.) On the go constantly
2.) A LAN party addict
3.) Don't believe in upgrades
4.) Get dizzy without 3D
5.) One of those people who have cutting edge everything regardless of need

You forgot about:

6.) Have $8000 to spend on a laptop

This makes me want one even more, because when I'm on the go for weeks at a time sometimes I wish my laptop could deliver, sure it can play Crysis but only at a low resolution..

This is the kind of power I need, but at such a high cost i think it's cheaper to build a portable desktop.

120Hz LCD is great at 2D too. Very smooth gaming.

The title will keep people from asking the obvious question

 

[Maziar]

According to some "hands-on" on other websites,M17x comes with GTX 460M/HD 6850M and there is no word about SLI or CF,if that's true,then it will be a huge disappointment IMO.

 

[alyoshka]

I wonder if they'd give the Laptop free with a Crysis 2 Disc...

 

[darkchazz]

Not surprised in can play C2 in 3d , since Crytek has made their own 3d method that doesn't lower the frame rate at all.

But I believe this shit will struggle with nvidia's 3d vision.

 

[utengineer]

But can it play Ms. Pac Man?

If it overheats (and throttles) under what should be considered intended usage of the machine, it is faulty design. If they sell it for thousands of dollars, they should get sued.

I totally agree.

 

[shaun_shaun]

Crysis 2 or Crysis too ???

 

[nebun]

ok, will it play crysis in 3D at 40+ fps?

 

[scott_madison1]

haha love the title of the article, who wrote it, one of you guys? >

 

[therealfly]

Wouldn't your arm be right on top of the mouse pad while using WASD keys? Seems pretty FAIL to me.

 

[g00fysmiley]

Cant you be civil? Is it necessary to indulge in name calling on Toms Hardware?

 

[wolfram23]

All I read is that the laptop played Crysis 2 on High in 3D... damnit Crytek! What happened to PC melting graphics?

 

[Tmanishere]

Screw that. I don't have $8,000 to spend on a laptop right now.

 

[liveonc]

Damn you! Build a mini ITX, put it in your backpack, save money. ASUS M4A88T-I, Thermaltake Element Q VL52021N2U, XFX HD-577X-ZMF3.

Note that the $1,500 is the starting price. Alienware computers get very expensive very fast when you actually configure them

They actually do not get that expensive.....A well configured one with dual gpus and the extreme proc is almost always under $4k unless you go with the max available ram and dual ssds and the highest warranty option.....

They were expensive 6 years ago but it is a different company now (Dell)

I just get really fed up every time there is an article about Alienware and the ignorant (majority are in regards to high end laptops) readers of Toms Hardware start foaming at the mouth and talking about how overpriced and stupid they are.

I have one and can say that they are not that stupidly overpriced and the quality and performance are both quite exceptional by laptop standards. And no, I am not just trying to justify my purchase - I am legitimately happy with what I got and do not regret spending the money at all.
