2009 E3 Expo – Opening Day Coverage

Alienware M17x Laptop

We wanted to try and talk to as many vendors about their new hardware that was on display. One of our first stops was at the Dell/Alienware to check out the new Alienware M17x.

When we got to the Alienware booth the M17x was still covered and not on display. So, to give you an idea what it looks like here is the official Alienware press photo.

The M17x laptop features a pair of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M enthusiast-class GPUs with NVIDIA SLI technology to create what Alienware calls the Universes most powerful laptop computer.

We came back to Alienware a couple hours later and got a chance to speak with Frank Azor VP, Product Group, Alienware about the specifics of this killer looking gaming laptop.

After leaving the Alienware booth we ran into some random guys with guns.
