Of course, Dell has updated their own share of their notebooks. This includes the Alienware M17x and XPS 17 notebooks which can now be upgraded to have 3D displays. Of course, they have options for Intel's new Core 2011 CPUs and they also pack 17-inch Full HD displays with a 120Hz refresh rate and Nvidia's GeForce GT 555M graphics. If you get the 3D model, then you'll need to get a pair of Nvidia's shutter glasses as well - right now we don't know if Dell will be nice enough to include one pair. The M17x will be available for as little as $1,499 on January 10th, while the XPS 17 will cost yo $1,449 and will arrive on February 1st.

A new leak has just outlined Alienware's latest notebook, the M17x R3. Apparently, this notebook will be a 17-inch model, ATI Mobility Radeon 6870 / 6970 GPU options, and even Wireless HD which is pretty awesome. Other specs are said to be an optional 3D display along with a 9-cell battery. CPU is unknown right now but you can expect a Core i7 of some kind inside of this. The release date is still unknown right now, but if it doesn't launch this year then you can expect it at CES 2011.

It looks like the Alienware M17x gaming notebook is now shipping with dual 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 GPUs if that's what you want. Of course, you'll have to choose this specifically if you want it because that's not in the base model. They're expensive -- rightfully so -- so save up your money and get one if you want to run whatever game you choose, even Crysis.

We already knew that the Alienware M11x would be launching for less than $1,000 so many assumed - including me - that the base model would cost $999. Thankfully, Dell has managed to mention the official price and it will start at $799 USD. It's got the netbook look to it (sort of), but it blows other netbooks out of the water since it's a gaming netbook. It's sporting an 11-inch display, an Intel Core 2 Duo ULV CPU, swappable Nvidia GeForce GT335M graphics, and a battery life that should last 6.5 hours (only 2 hours of gaming though). It's pretty impressive and it'll weigh 4.5 pounds. The exact release date wasn't mentioned so you'll have to wait a little bit longer.

Update: According to Engadget, it looks like the Alienware M15x and M17x notebooks are now available with Intel's new Core i7 CPUs. The're available for $1,199 and $1,799, respectively; check out the M15x here and M17x here.

Dell has also updated their existing Alienware notebooks as well. The M15x and M17x can now be bought with the new Intel Core i5 / i7 CPUs. Along with this they have unveiled the new OptX AW2310 monitor which has support for Nvidia's 3D Vision technology. It's got a Full HD 1080p resolution, a contrast ratio of 80,000:1, 120Hz technology, 400 nits of brightness, HDMI / DVI ports, audio jacks, and four USB 2.0 ports. You can go out and get this monitor now for $499.

Remember the ultimate gaming notebook from Alienware, the M17x? A new colour has just popped up and it's exactly what you see above. Dell calls it "Nebula Red." I'm actually having trouble looking for this colour on Dell's American website, but Pocket Lint says that it will cost an extra $99 USD. On the Dell website there is a picture though, so expect the colour to be available any day now.

Even though the countdown is still taking place, the upcoming Alienware "Allpowerful" laptop has already been unveiled. It is the M71x and it is the ultimate gaming laptop of all time. I'm going to run through the specs, briefly, but they are amazing. The Alienware M71x has: 2 1GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 280M GPUs, up to 8GB of 1,333MHz DDR3 RAM, a Core 2 Extreme quad-core CPU, and up to 1TB of HDD storage / up to 512GB of SSD storage (definitely an expensive addition). Was that enough? Well, I'm not finished. It also has: a 9-cell battery, FireWire, 4 USB 2.0 slots, eSATA, an ExpressCard slot, 802.11n WiFi, an 8-in-1 card reader, dual-layer Blu-ray, a crisp 1,920 x 1,200 resolution (possibly 17-inches) LCD display with DisplayPort and HDMI outputs. The M71x will weigh a massive 11.68 pounds and is a solid 2.11-inches thick. Just in case you were deciding to save your battery, it also has GeForce 9400M G1 graphics with HybridPower technology as a backup. Suprisingly enough, the M71x has a base price of just $1,799 USD, which is much less than what I was expecting. Hopefully, we'll be able to see it at E3!! If I had the money, I'd definitely get one of these.
