The Mulder maniacs at Alienware has now released a new high-end gaming laptop, the M17. Featuring a 17-inch 1920 x 1200 pixels LCD screen, the new laptop can be equipped with a Core 2 Duo/Quad/Extreme processors, and that includes the flagship QX9300, up to 4GB of DDR3 memory, one or two Radeon HD 3870 cards, two 500GB in RAID 0, and either a DVD writer or a Blu-Ray drive.

The M17 also features WiFi and Gigabit Ethernet, two speakers backed by a subwoofer, a 7-in-1 memory card readers, three USB 2.0 ports and even an eSATA connector. Already on sale in North America and Europe, the M17 starts of at just $1,399 but at that price you'll only get a 17-inch LCD with a 1440 x 900 pixel resolution.

Why would you want crossfire in a laptop? Wouldn't it be better if you just put in 1 good video card? I don't understand?

By the same token: Why get crossfire in any system?

Answer: Because you can! The performance increase is usually worth it, and people love bragging rights!

Good god, and a 17" screen. I suppose if you have deep pockets, and carry a 5000 foot extension cord wherever you plan on using your laptop, then this laptop iz 4 joo!

only 3870? SLI 8800GT or CFX 4670 would be so much better.

Single 4850 would be great for me. And 2 gigs of DDR2. And a Dual-core 3Ghz proc.
