Alienware Area-51 m9750


Product summary

The good: Massive resolution display; twin SLI video cards offer unparalleled 3D performance for a laptop; DVI and surround sound outputs; matte finish on case repels fingerprints.

The bad: No HDMI; requires Windows XP for optimum performance; reasonable starting price disappears quickly with upgrades; battery life weak, even for a desktop replacement.

The bottom line: Alienware's flagship gaming laptop, the Area-51 m9750, has plenty of appeal for high-end gamers, but the alien head aesthetic seems dated, and newer components are right around the corner.

Specs: Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (1.66 GHz); RAM installed: 1 GB DDR II SDRAM; Weight: 8.6 lbs See full specs >>

Price range: $1,699.00
