Alienware releases details of area 51 m15x laptop
January 11th, 2008A few months back Alienware’s m15x and m17x laptop proposals raised many an eyebrow but details have been rather thin on the ground — until today when the company made two m15x models available for order.
But they’re not cheap! Low end models will cost £766 ($1,499, €1,014) and high end: £1,072 ($2,099, €1,420) and £1,379 ($2,699, €1,826) and that’s before any rip-off European VAT has been applied. The low end models are listed as “coming soon” and we also have to wait a little longer for the 17 inch model.
Here’s the specification of the m15x to whet your appetite
