    Well I thought people would like to know alienware is announcing something big in about 2 hours on their arena site. The link is http://www.alienwarearena.com/discover?redirect=/discover

    From the sounds of it it might be the m18x and m14x. The email i got said something about people haveng heard rumors about this.

    Editing as they give info

    talked about how good the m17x-r3 is
    now introducing the "new products", starting with the new m11x

    m11x optional verizon 4G service and up to 11 hours battery
    - approx. 4.5lbs (depending on specs)
    - no HDMI-in

    m14x verizon 4g, wireless streaming, and up to 6 hours battery
    - approx 6.5lbs
    - mini sub woofer (I think he meant that this is on the 18x, but said 14x)
    - no HDMI-in

    m18x "coming soon...in May"
    - Looks to be same base thickness of m17xr3
    - EXPECTED launch (base) price "$1999"
    - no 3D on the laptop's LCD, only via HDMI 1.4 or SiBEAM wireless
    - approx 16lbs!
    - will power up to 3 displays
    - HDMI-in is HTPC compliant, but windows does not recognize the display (so can't record) - but we already found this out in the 17x-r3
    - Graphics switching is supported
    - battery life up to 3 hours

    Asked if they will dive into tablet market
    "The answer is not no, but it's also not yes"

    /end at 11:33am EST according to my clock!

    All I know is that is will support crossfire and SLi. He also mentioned that it might have switchable graphics of some sort. It will probally use ATi 6970m and the GTX 485m. Not sure though.

    heh, i hope so. hopefully they will release more information around the next 1-2 weeks, but a very disappointing announcement for me, just because I want the M18X, but good for people who were wanting the M11X R3 and M14x.

    Man, Id love to check out the new line up. But not going to invest in it. Not worth it for me.

    @clax, i need to get a ps3, loved the ps2 socom series.

    It's probably going to end up being like confrontation, which is terrible. I doubt it will be like Socom 2.

    Anyway, I finished watching the video, kind of disappointed. Most of the questions people asked was pointless. Tablet...really?
