The Alienware m15x is an impressive futuristic looking gaming laptop packed into a fairly small package. At 15.4″ inches the screen is big enough to give you plenty of detail without making it too big to use conveniently on airplanes and other crowded locations. At launch only certain configurations of the laptop are available so the customization options you’re used to from Alienware may not be at your fingertips. You’ll have to wait a little longer to get access to those. For instance, you can’t order your laptop in black yet. It will only take a couple of weeks for more choices to show up.
The laptop is affordable at $2,099 and comes packed with what you need to run your favorite games. That includes 120GB 720RPM hard drive, and Nvidia Go 8700m 512MB graphics card, a 15.4″ WXGA+ display with 1,600×900 pixels resolution, a DVD burner, 2GB RAM, and an Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 2.20GHz processor.
HP Pavilion tx2000 convertible & Pavilion HDX gaming notebook
The tx1000 was one of HP’s most popular laptops and they’ve announced an upgrade to it that will provide even more computing power. At the same time they announced an updated to their HDX gaming notebook, making it even more powerful. The HP Pavilion tx2000 is the new model and it’s a laptop to tablet PC convertible, meaning you can use it in both ways. If you’re looking for a touch screen on your laptop you’ll enjoy the tx2000. It’s powerful, intuitive, and smartly priced.
The old HDX gaming notebook lacked video card power, going with an ATI HD2600 as its card. It didn’t provide enough of what gamers needed so they’ve upgraded to the Nvidia GeForce 8800M GTS with a upgrade in onboard video RAM as well. The idea is to give the HP Pavilion HDX gaming laptop desktop quality performance while allowing you to be portable. It also comes with 3 USB ports, a Notebook Expansion port, LightScribe Super Multi, and more.
