    Lets be realistic, despite the hype, what could be improvements be? if its a new chassic, then over M17, it probably have:

    CPU>final gen of mobile C2Q @2.93?
    Ram slots> 3 or 4?
    HDD>2-3?
    GPU>4870 GDDR5 X2?
    LCD>RBG-LED screen?
    Overclockability>OC button?
    Input>multitouch trackpad?


    Anything else?

    Yes I think it will be along the lines of that...

    I think it will have up to 12 or 16GB RAM, 2 HDD's (3 If you use the bay), extremely sure there will be an upgraded GPU


    It has be over a year since the m15x and m17x were announced, so I think m15x upgrade is extremely iminent since the current version seems to be at its limits

    I don't see major design changes... unless they are talking about a new mALX 18.4" SLI monster

    After the m980NU, W90 and d900F, I don't think it's going to be anything suprising, in fact, I think it'll probably be based on one of those three.

    I'm thinking it'll be a Dell original, hyped as the successor to the m17x or M1730.

    But then again, the M980NU already has the customizable light-up lid, so that it a strong possibility as well. I'll be disappointed if AW just goes with another rebrand.

    They are either putting out some serious advertising just to stir up some news etc... or they are actually planning on something major...

    Alienware Air anybody? With SLI base? 0.25 inches thick? Ultra HD Display?


    Uuugh... maybe the aliens did bring some space age tech into Dell!!!



    Oh... now that I think of it... DELL has its new DELLA thing going on for women, and so... dell is the one shelling out on ads, so nevermind anything big going on... for now :D

    I still think Sager will outclass the Alienware... for a while I was also enamored with Alienwares... but after I got past the lights and scullcap design (which I could probably make a cooler one myself) I realized that Sager or Asus (w90's is awesome) is where it's at... I think the quicksilver will be Alienwares attempt at contending in the race

    dell is backing AW with the money and all the fact s point to 280's dell and aW are selling 8800m gtx and 9800m gt like candy so it seems they are clearing stock and the t9400 was dropped int he m17 so it points to montevina fo sho in the new one and the dropping of lower GPU's points to either 4870's and 280's :D

    W90 is amazing...

    It's basically my p-6831FX (The first mainstream high end gaming laptop) revamped in 2009

    AMAZING


    But AW will definitely pack a punch soon... ESPECIALLY if they lower their prices a tiny bit, so it's like $2000 W90? or same performances more features for $2200? Exactly, pick the AW... :D

    as it was said on engadget:

    So, a W90 $1000 more?

    I'm actually betting it's based on the new, fat sager that's coming out. I can't remember what it's called...

    I don't like Alienware's expensive RAM, CPU, display, GPU upgrade options, while thats just me, I highly doubt they would change.

    If M17 made gaming more affordable than M17x, I think the new system will have rise the price first, if its drastically new. If its just tiny refreshed laptop, price still will be at M17x mark I think.

    They won't lower the price overnight.

    No they are only introducing one new laptop, not a new series... They will continue to sell their other laptops probably even more, The new one is just to compete in the highe end gaming sector... and I really hope it isn't an 18.4" If it's a 17" that can compare with the Sager 9280 then I'll pick it up

    Upgrade RAM yourself... thats just common sense... its so easy

    CPU... GAMING doesn't require that much CPU power... so technically you don't need their extreme step-ups

    GPU... your buying the most powerful... helloooo


    I think it will be a new platform, re-vamped design, more useless/useful features etc...

    its definitely not Core i7... only the Clevo D900F gets that honor.

    its probably going to be a
    - Montevina platform
    - DDR3
    - dual videocards (ATI 4870 or Nvidia GTX 280M)
    - ALX denotes that it will probably larger than 17"... probably 18.4"

    The main question that I will be inquiring about will be:
    "Who is their ODM?"

    Hopefully they wont make the same mistake and go with Quanta again... not that Quanta is bad, but they are not experienced in designing/making high-end notebooks as well as some other ODMs.

    I am hoping AW got smart and continued to go with Arima (like in the past with the M9700/M9750) to get an exclusive model through them.

    Or they might even go back to Clevo to re-brand their upcoming beast:
    - Clevo M980NU ...... 18.4" with mobile quad-core CPU and dual Nvidia GTX 280M (in SLI)

    like i said before in AW section all of that is what i think as well

    50/50 chance dell backed this system and had it specially designed to market since there going to stop selling the m1730 soon

    dell is now going to be useing the AW name as its little kid ..... they are going to banking on it

    or the rebranded which would not be as cool but it would be the first one with it out

    If they go with Armina, it will have dual 4870s, and the videocards will never come out for the M17.

    That's also plausible.

    To me, I think it's going to be a redesigned Dell m1730 from the ground up with an Alien head and name on it. I'd be fine with that as long as it will be reasonably priced.

    Yeah that'd be nice, I really liked the M1730 besides the aesthetics... I just couldn't get past how it tried to be a flashy gaming laptop and it ended up looking like a lightbox

    I hope it is:

    Aluminium construction 15" with a thin chassis (16:10 I know is a long shot... :( )
    ATI HD 4860 GDDR5 GFX standard
    Quad Core capable
    Slot load drive
    Backlit Keyboard
    etc.
