Beside the fact that the above laptop is about as unmobile as a mobile device can get, gamers will be happy to hear that Alienware has let their extremely powerful M17X loose.

This is the real deal featuring not one but two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M video cards with 1GB of RAM. However, for the more discreet laptop sessions users will be able to switch to the onboard NVIDIA GeForce 9400M GPU. Furthermore, the M17X supports a quad-core Core 2 Extreme and up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM.

And I’ve only just gotten started, you can also opt for up to 1TB of harddrive space of 512GB of SSD space.  Also included is a 9 cell battery, FireWire, USB, eSATA and ExpressCardports, support for 802.11n WiFi, an 8-in-1 card reader, dual-layer Blu-ray and a 1920 x 1200 LCD screen. Of course, there are also DisplayPort and HDMI outs so you can connect this mammoth to any display you can throw at it.

Starting at $1,799 Alienware’s M17X weighs in at 11.68 pounds. Hey, I told you it wasn’t the most mobile laptop on the block, didn’t I?

There’s no need to tell you what Alienware is and what they stand for, but just in case you haven’t heard about them, they’re an amazingly creative hardware company.

A while ago we showed you what Area 51 m17x is exactly so I would only have to remind you this is one of the most powerful laptops designed so far. It’s a very expensive dependable choice whether you are a gamer, a writer or a hi-tech graphic designer. If you love movies or you yourself create any media, you should choose it too. I’d have a hard time choosing between the m17x, a couple of Dell XPS systems and a few Apple MacBooks.

The Area 51 m17x it’s fully customizable online right now and ready to be shipped. Price ranging from $2200 to $4200 depending on what you mount on it. Which one would you choose?
