    Just out of curiosity why is everyone looking so deeply into these videos for a hidden message or hint at the new hardware. I wasn't paying attention during the M17x launch, did AW do this before with hidden messages that actually turned out to have a hidden meaning or are you all just bored like me.

    Yup

    The sum of the first four primes
    denotes a state of two parts
    known as the gentleman’s muscle car of 1967
    when pure, it will carry a yield strength of 7-11 mpa
    is always empty in zero sum games

    Hey all, here is an article I found benchmarking the new laptop I7 against the QX9300. I am quite impressed. Almost as good as the QX9300, but it seems that the Quad is still the most powerful.

    I7 benchmarks

    Edit: Now imagine if the I7 laptop has a gtx280 with 4 gigs of ram and either an SSD or a 7200rpm drive. This M15x cannot come soon enough.

    And THAT is why clock speed doesn't always matter :)

    The new architecture is just that much more efficient.

    Hopefully, the new chips won't run too hot :p

    I think they had the XPS on the website earlier in the month, then removed it. I guess they decided to put it back up. Maybe they are finally integrating the Alienware website to the Dell servers.

    Well, if one of the desktops is not a mini-desktop then I would not be interested at all. Still looking forward to seeing what the M15x looks like though!

    I actually see all 3 systems for landfall.

    first one looks very much like an XPS gaming desktop. the second one look like any other alienware desktop.
    and the last one looks like the sharp edges of the m17x but its very likely the m15x *look at its rubberized feet - not similar to m17x's

    So what is the speculative price of these i7 chips? Is it going to cost more than the current quads? I keep reading articles about them being in mid-range to high end machines.

    no idea. back on track,.

    if its not the m15x(because they covered the back of the m15x with a ball of fire), if anything, its the m17x.

    i'd doubt that the m15x will have the very same venting system the m17x has. i mean, they made it purposely for two GPUs.
    it'd be a waste of resource if they made en extra bottom vent with nothing to vent from that side. get what i mean?

    [​IMG]


    by the way... when i see this red M17x, i think of you sleey0. yeah. where are those crapy pictures you promised us! ARGH!

    That is def the M15x.

    First, the M17x doesn't have rubber feet there. And second, we already knew that it will resemble the M17x (how much is not known but from the pic it is def shaped the same :)).

    that one was a big clue because the keyboard was about an inch and a half from the edge and that must be an m15x.

    m17x is about 1 inch only.
