We just our lucky paws on Alienware's shiny new Area-51 m 15x, arguably the most powerful 15.4-inch notebook on the planet. It's the first mobile rig with this screen size that boasts Intel's blazing 45nm Intel Core2 Extreme mobile proccessor X9000. And it's the first laptop in this class to cram in Nividia's GeFOrce 8800M GTX graphics card, complete with a whopping 512MB of dedicated video memory. (Take that, Crysis!) We'll be bringing you our first 3D and gaming benchmark results ASAP, but in the meantime we wanted to share some hands-on impressions of m15x' unique design. Namely, the rad color changing effects have us singing Karma Chameleon.
At first glance the Area-15 m15x looks a bit understated for a mobile gaming rig: It has a silver paint job and blue key backlighting-nothing too flashy and certainly more refined than the over-the-top ribbed look of previous Alienware notebooks. Do a little digging and you'll be wowed by how much you can customize this machine on the fly. The Alienware Control Center lets you seriously tweak the system's back lighting using one of the ten colors (or black and white) for each lighted area of the laptop.
