    Actually, I might be using it wrong too, but I think it's like LOLZ, you know, like an internet slang. Like when people write OMG!!!!!!!111 (they stop pressing Shift key before letting go of ! key) I have seen:

    OMGLMAO!!!!!!!111onetwothreeBBQ or something... the internet is weird...

    hmm if they did an m15x refresh its probably going to have the GTX260 and the 4870 as graphics cards choices. Unless they can make a cooling system that can take on the 280GTX's 75 watt consumption.

    the m15x would have a very hard time cooling a 4870 ddr5 it will run hotter then a 260 easy ...a 9800m gt runs hot in the one now

    a 260 run a little bit cooler though but stilll... i just dont see it :(
    im just being realistic but i could be wrong

    oh ya hmm. maybe its to hot because its 2 cards in XFire? :confused: The combined heat is a lot. huh I guess we will have to wait and see. But for sure the 260GTX will be there if a m15x refresh is coming.

    edit:

    huh this is intresting (if its true). According to

    http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-260M.14559.0.html

    The GTX 260M has a total power consumption of 75 watts! thats the same as the GTX280M!

    So the suspense is basicly over? its just the one m17x ish laptop. Or will it be more considering it was advertised as desktops/notebooks? Did i miss something
    Only one new thing would be kinda annoying with all this hype.

    An M17X refresh still has plenty of "OMG!" potential.

    m17x now with 9800 GT SLI with X9000 processor 320gig hard drive blu ray vs new m17x at base price.....old m17x wins? or you think base price one will be decent
    Though, historically the base product has been quite lackluster

    I would wait if I were you. Not only does it give you time to see what they officially release but the older models will become more available on eBay at cheaper prices.

    There better be skullcap, I dont see the point in not having skullcap, its the traditional alienware look, and all the laptops before had it, well with the except of the m17x, but they better fix that mistake and put it in this time, because there is no point in not having it as an option.

    Any notebook AW releases is going to have the hardware so if I can price one under $4000 and the chassis is 2" thick or less I'll probably buy one.

    I'd really like to see a T9900 3.06Ghz offered since it's AW and I'd like to save the $300 over the X9100 I couldnt make full use of.
