Picture of new Alienware laptop.

OK,

this picture was originally posted my mingocr83 who says he is an A.W. employee.

I increased the brightness to bring out the detail of the laptop.

Don't know if this photo is official or not but it does look pretty sweet!

No more front load optical drive.

All I know is I want one!



I posted the original pic a couple posts below.

 

if it's indeed a new AW laptop, it's at least 17" with a number pad on the right side (indicated by the offset mousepad). id doesn't look like the keyboard will be chiclet-style. where's the aforementioned fingerprint reader?

 

Why the colour is .. well it like a drawing rather than a photo
but it looks cool.

 

Check out the original. I just increased the brightness and reduced the contrast so you can see the detail.

 

If this is true, then everyone else that bet their souls it was an M17x refresh just got slammed dunked.

Wonder if the choice to pick the side colors is there, or better yet, some AlienFX control type thing. I can only wonder what the lid will look like on this thing.

 

Here's the original pic:



I'm starting to give more credence to the build-up now!

Now all we need is a "leaked" spec sheet.

 

I told ya folks! Is awesome!

 

Looks like an Alien car-jacked KITT.

 

Imagining NEW Alienware laptop ^_^
with
Core i7 Processor Extreme Edition
8GB 3 channel ddr3
ATI HD 4870 CF or GF GTX 295M SLI with GDDR5
with window 7 OS

 

thanks man

 

wow, it looks beautiful....Im gunna have to work some extra hours no doubt.

 

It's like a racecar. It looks fast just sitting there!

 

Lol...Noooo haha... anyway it looks like a new Chassis, actually looks similiar to the W90 chassy... Or perhaps they went of the M1730 and changed some exhaust ports

 

If they are "ports" they would be for intake or speakers.

Don't think they would have them blowing hot air on someone.

 

No I meant speakers sorry for not clarifying.... and as I think those are speakers I think this is one massive Laptop... Maybe 17" but I'd put my money on 18.4" at least this one

 

18.4" so what is the ratio of the screen then ? => 16:9 <= ???
I'd like 16:10.

 

Could the peanut gallery just confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no new 15.4 chassis coming out so I can go ahead and order an m15x?

And I have no idea how you guys are speculating as to anything based off that pic, if this weren't a laptop site I would have guessed an advert for an auto parts manufacturer or something.

 

Peanut gallery?

I don't know who you're talking to, but this is exactly the correct place to discuss and speculate when given a picture like this.

Did you look at the picture? I think it's pretty apparent that it's a laptop and not "auto parts".

 

Trust me it's a 17" and that's definitely the front below the touchpad area.

Everything above that looks more like a regular m17x. I have no idea about the back behind the LCD, but I'm sure it keeps along the same lines.

And cuib, you can never be sure of anything.

 

Lol, First off no I cannot confirm they won't release a 15" but I seriously doubt they will... and Why buy the M15x when you can buy a Sager 8662, with Quad support, 4gb DDR3, and the new GTX 260m... It is better than the M15x not to mention cheaper, check it out www.Xoticpc.com it is in the gaming rig section

 

That doesn't stop Alienware from making their own new 15-inch laptop and call it the most powerful 15-inch even though it may not be.

 

Yeah,
we've only got one picture so far. We really have no idea what else they are releasing. I seriously doubt all this hype will be over just one change to the entire line-up.

 

By the sound of these lines in the source code perhaps they are releasing more than computer.

Perhaps it's time to add a 3rd computer to my sig (assuming it's not a 17" or 10" lol)

Man, I want it to be big, like borderline scary he he, then I'l consider it.

 

I'm excited, I love the the little extra touch Alienware puts on their laptops, even if it is expensive... If it can compare to the Sager 9280, then I'll consider buying it

 

Thanks alot for the edit in Photoshop making it more visible than in the original pic, Rob!

 

Lol watch how we are all getting so excited... and it ends up being a M1730 with a new look, DDR3, Mobile quads and the new line of Nvidia GPU's... actually I am excited that's all they really need to do

 

No problem Azuricate.

I wasn't sure if there would be more to see but as you can tell there was.

I was hoping it would reveal a laptop and it did!

 

Haha well it's fun to feel like a child waiting for christmas, as long as you get a present you like
If that'd happen then I think they'd lose alot of potential customers, and it would make more sense to build an exclusive system anyway. *crosses fingers*

 

I would be very surprised if they just re-covered a Dell.

IMO the exec's at Dell are smarter than that.

 

It's good to see someone is staying with 16:10 and not going with 16:9.

Alienware!! FTW!

 

Hmm a refresh of the m-alx perhaps? The size of that thing indicates a 19incher.

 

Is "peanut gallery" a putdown of sorts? I have no idea what it means, it's what my grampa calls us when the young ones are all together. Re the pic I was just saying how on earth can you guys see anything in that, not that it's wrong to look and say. I seriously would not have known that has anything to do with computers.

 

Not going to happen.

the mALX was a re-branded Clevo M590K.

AW is not going to Clevo anymore after 2006 since a certain someone broke the news and make it public to inform people that there are many great Clevo vendors that have way better pricing and customer service for same exact systems.

AW will definitely try to stick with exclusive models (like the Quanta systems, M15x and M17x) to make the most possible profit.

 

16:9 screens come in a size 17.

 

I realize that, but those aren't as common.

 

m15x has igu + discrete gpu and a smart bay for second battery. I know of no other rig that has this combo. I'm willing to eat a dated chipset and all the rest just to have it. (H264 vids with CoreAVC from SF to NY with battery life left over. Try that on a Sager.) Plus Sager doesn't give you a klingon nameplate.

Ideally though AW would make a new 15.4 with smart bay, but I'm not the kind of person that good things happen to.

 

My bet that is a 17 inch..though they still have the m17x and m17. Ill stick with it being a 17 inch

 

Cool.

yeah, it's what I call my grandkids when they are acting like "know it alls".

 

It is entirely possible that they would go with an 18.4 screen for blu-ray compatibility. That would also give them a bit more space inside for cooling the gpu(s) and aim at both the gaming and entertainment markets.

 

With Alien technology anything is possible!

 

We're still at the beginning of the transition to 16:9 not the end.

 

Has anyone confirmed this is going to have a skullcap? This would be my first Alienware and it won't be the same if I can't select the skullcap.

 

We've only confirmed one thing: that we're not sure what can be confirmed.

Be patient.

 

18.4" display notebooks... and we're talkin at 16:10, so what the equiv of a 22" notebook back in the 4:3 days? Jesus just go for the whole pig and make your next laptop a desktop and include a Thule carrying case to mount on top of the car. The benchmarks would scream for sure. Maybe include chiropractic care in the warranty too. My back isn't liking the 15.4 I currently have, and my mom's 17" dell just about herniated half my discs that time I tried to pick it up with one hand. I'm just trying to picture you prospective buyers for this monster, I'm seeing you guys in muscle shirts all 'roided up and ready to rage.

 

lol. That's not gonna happen.

 

Edit:

Spent a bit time in PS, there are stuff modded on...

 

You added content that wasn't there right?

Looks cool though.

 

imagination is good...right? that's not real

 

18.4" is 16:9. It's got the height of a 17" 16:10 screen, the width of a 19" 16:10 screen, and the total screen area just over a 17" 4:3 screen.

 

Yeesh. You want a 21" laptop?


If they really wanted to make my e-shorts snug Dell/AW would team up with Ideazon ditch the numpad and add a zboard gamepad to the left of the keyboard.
