Well all of the speculation can come to an end as today at the Tokyo Game Show, Alienware has revealed what all of the teasers are about! As I suspected it’s a new line of gaming computers, but they look pretty nice. The Aurora, Aurora ALX, Area-51 and Area-51 ALX desktops along with the M15X laptop all look pretty sleek and are packed with power.
Here are the basics from the press release:
- Alienware M15x – The most powerful 15-inch gaming laptop in the universe. Sporting Alienware’s acclaimed new mobile ID which debuted with the M17x laptop, the M15x offers Alienware performance in a compact package guaranteed to appeal to mobile enthusiasts and hardcore gamers on the go. The first Alienware laptop to feature a mobile Core i7 processor, the M15x also offers a 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M GPU* and up to 8GB DDR3 1333MHz memory* to take on, and dominate, even the most intense game titles. Prices start at $1,499 and additional technical specifications are here.
- Alienware Aurora and Aurora ALX – The Aurora is most upgradeable and the Aurora ALX is the most powerful MicroATX desktops Alienware has ever created. Featuring the latest Intel® Core™ i7 processors, including an optional Extreme Edition overclocked** to 3.6GHz, the Aurora line of desktops are designed to deliver the power needed for hardcore gaming, pro-level HD audio and video editing, 3D animation and more. To crank up your gaming performance, Aurora and Aurora ALX have options for dual 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics cards, up to 24GB DDR3 1333MHz memory[asterisk] or 12GB DDR3 1600MHz memory, respectively, and up to 2TB of hard drive storage – all in a compact, MicroATX chassis for taking up less desk space. Prices start at $1,299 and additional technical specs are here.
- Alienware Area-51 and Area-51 ALX designed for extreme gamers and tech enthusiasts who demand only the latest, most advanced equipment, the Area-51 line of desktops features Intel Core i7 processors factory overclocked* to an intense 3.86GHz for peak performance. To max out your graphics benchmarks, these systems offer the quad-GPU power of dual NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 295 graphics cards. Other featured specs include up to 12GB DDR3* memory clocked at 1333MHz or 1600MHz, respectively, and six easy-access, cable-free hard drive bays that support both 7,200RPM and 10,000RPM drives, solid state drives and RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 10 configurations. Prices begin at $1,999.
*Based on Futuremark 3DMark Vantage Extreme benchmark tests performed by Dell using Nvidia GeForce GTX 260M graphics card as baseline.
“These newest additions to the Alienware lineup represent the culmination of months of hard work, bringing together two world-class teams to create a family of world-class products targeting PC gamers,” said Arthur Lewis, general manager of Dell’s Gaming Group. “Our current offering of desktops, notebooks and peripheral products signals our commitment to providing the best PC gaming experience possible and to being the global industry leader for PC gaming products.”
Alienware also announced the ability for customers to customize the M17x laptop with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4870 in both single and ATI CrossFireX configurations. Information for the Aurora, Aurora ALX and M15x on Alienware’s website, and they will be available to order immediately! The Area-51 and Area-51 ALX should be coming soon and I would keep my eyes on Alienware’s twitter account for release news!
Also at the Tokyo Game Show, Alienware will have on hand the new peripherals I mentioned awhile back. I’m sure that the TactX mouse, headset and keyboard along with the OptX monitor will make great additions to the new desktops. I have to say that the ALX line is pretty impressive and the pricing seems reasonable. If you’re going to be at the Tokyo Game Show I’d recommend checking out Alienware’s booth and playing around with these new systems and the gaming accessories! For those unable to make it I have some images at the bottom of the post for those who would like to drool some more over shiny new computers. I will say that I hope everything isn’t all red. Knowing Alienware, you should be able to customize the lighting in the computers, as I know I would probably want blue or purple personally.
