Alienware releases details of area 51 m15x laptop

A 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.

Heres the specefication of the m15x to whet your appetite
