Alienware M17x Gaming Laptop Computer (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300, 500GB HDD, 8GB)
Subtle improvements to Alienware's dorm-room-chic design ; amazingly fast and powerful ; highly configurable

The power brick sucks...never seen anything like it ; weighs more than the system. I usually build these things so haven't had to deal with Dell's service dept yet. I have had to in the past and I feel bout them the way I do about the brick

Bottom line is DON'T waste your money get a d...
Nice looking laptop, Top/mid range hardware
Lots of things I don't like about the M17, one Alienwares tech support is BAD, The M17 has nothing but issues. Could have gotten an OCZ cheaper and its the same laptop hardware wise. Unable to play games/movies video is jerky sound gets very choppy
