Alienware’s laptop line up
Futureshop recently held a ‘Back To School’ event with various hardware vendors showing some of their wares. Despite the ‘…School’ moniker, there was a plethora of gaming oriented companies there. For example, Alex got to take a look at the Alienware notebooks coming to retail in Canada via Futureshop, including the M11X ($1199), a portable gaming rig in an 11.6″ almost netbook sized form factor. The M11X has switchable graphics so you can jump from the integrated Intel solution to NVidia’s GT 335M chip for gaming good enough to play Crysis.
Alienware was also showing off the $1799 15.6 inch M15X, packed with a Core i7 CPU and ATI’s Radeon Mobility HD 5850, which is a Futureshop exclusive, while the ‘grand daddy’ of the lineup, the $2399 M17X uses the same CPU, but a faster HD 5870 Radeon graphics chip. It wasn’t all about the notebooks though, and what better way to get your homework done fast than a sup’ed up dual SLI enabled Area 51 desktop? The adjustable motorized top cooling vents will make sure your system stays nice and cool when you’re blazing through those book reports.
The Alienware notebook lineup is available now at Futureshop, while the Area 51 desktop will be released soon.

Do any of these bad boys run hot?
My laptop is killing me. It has a i7 and enough bling to run starcraft 2 well for 5-10 min before frames get dropped, the area around my laptop heats up by a few degrees and the fan drowns out almost all other noise.

I didn’t get to see how hot they ran, however with the CPU and GPU combos these have I can’t imagine them being cool…though they are bigger and have more fans than most laptops…
