Alienware, Dell’s premier high-performance PC gaming brand, has launched the all-new M17 notebook. Available today in the U.S. and Europe, the 17-inch Alienware M17 is powered by the world’s first mobile quad-core processor, the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300, and is Alienware’s first notebook with ATI CrossFire multi-GPU technology, featuring dual ATI Mobility Radeo HD 3870 cards.
The Alienware M17 notebook can be configured with:
- The Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300, the world’s first mobile quad-core processor
- ATI CrossFireX multi-GPU technology featuring dual ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 graphics cards, full DirectX 10.1 support
- Up to 4GB DDR3 memory for an increase in transfer rates, as well as the bandwidth necessary for the notebook’s quad-core capabilities.
- Dual 500GB hard drives linked in a RAID 0 configuration for a 1TB storage capacity -“ enough to hold roughly 160 games, 250 full-length movies or 250,000 songs.
- A 17-inch Extreme High-Definition 1920 x 1200 resolution display
- The Alienware Command Center control panel, home to exclusive programs such as the AlienFusion power management system, AlienSense facial recognition software and AlienTouch touchpad controls.
- Alienware’s Stealth Black, a soft-touch, matte black finish that protects the system from fingerprints and scratches.
“By incorporating the all-out performance of CrossFireX graphics and quad-core processing into Alienware’s award-winning notebook lineup,” says Frank Azor, executive vice-president for Alienware’s Product and Marketing Groups, “the M17 delivers an impressive feature set at a price point that doesn’t break the bank.”
Gamers can get their hands on an M17 featuring an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, ATI CrossFireX technology, 3GB of DDR3 memory and a 1920 x 1200 Extreme High-Definition LCD for under $2,000.
