Dell Alienware M17x R3 17.3" Notebook, Intel Core i7-2670QM Quad-Core 2.2GHz, 4GB RAM, 750GB HDD, AMD HD 6870M Graphics (1GB), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

The Dell Alienware M17x R3 17.3" Notebook Computer (Stealth Black) provides the ultimate gaming experience for people on the go. The system features a dedicated graphics system. The AMD Radon HD 6870M graphics card utilizes 1 GB of dedicated memory for the graphics-intensive visuals of PC games.

Impressive graphics would be meaningless without a high-end screen and this Alienware notebook does not disappoint. Featuring a gorgeous 17.3" widescreen display, it is backlit with LED lamps. LED lamps brighten faster, use less power and provide better image quality than their CCFL counterparts. The screen has a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is also the standard for HDTVs. The 1600 x 900 native resolution allows for 1080p high-definition video playback.

The system is powered by a quad-core 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7-2670QM processor, which can also be overclocked up to 3.1 GHz with Intel's Turbo Boost technology. The processor is supported with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM to maximize multitasking. The slot-loading SuperMulti DVD burner makes it easy to install PC games while the 750 GB 7200 rpm SATA hard drive ensures you have enough space for them.

For online multiplayer, you'll need to connect to the Internet. This Alienware notebook provides a 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 jack for a fast wired connection. However, seeing as how this is a gaming notebook, you'll probably make more use of the 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi network as well as Bluetooth 3.0+HS technology for all your peripherals, such as a gaming mouse or joystick.

As a high-end gaming notebook, you'll want to keep your Alienware notebook safe and secure. The included free 30-day trial of McAfee Security Center, which has anti-virus, anti-spyware as well as a firewall, does exactly that. Also, a Kensington lock slot prevents a stranger (or suspicious roommate) from walking away with your Alienware notebook while you're away from it.

With this Alienware notebook, you can enjoy all the added benefits of the Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) operating system. Enjoy a beautifully designed user interface and minimize the number of compatibility issues with PC games you might otherwise get with a different operating system.
