Released November, 2008
The Pros:Nice customization options - quad-core CPUs and multiple ATI GPUs. A very capable gaming laptop with the stock configuration. Great for docking - has HDMI and optical surround output.
The Cons:Can quickly become expensive when adding the better hardware options. Comes preloaded with Windows Vista - not the latest Windows OS. Aging product - has been replaced by a newer, better Alienware M17 model.
