Alienware m15x Gaming Notebook Now Available for Order Discussion

Those are 17" notebooks, can you link the Sager 15" notebook with a GTX you found that rivals the m15x?

 

Does anybody know what kind of screen is that 1900x1200? I know the lower res screen says clearview or something with it. Does that mean the 1900x1200 is NOT a glossy screen? I hope its bright, I read some other posts that the LCDs from ALienware are a little on the dimmer side.

Wait, 2 gfx cards? I didn't see that while configuring. We're talking about the 15in model? I doubt it'll be more than an hour while gaming. But I can see it hitting 2hrs with a movie if running a "low end" gfx card.

update:
Ok I found this:
512MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8800M GTX
BinaryGFX – Switch between high-performance graphics and integrated graphics

What the heck is BinaryGFX? How slow is it, if you know. I know its not out yet. I hope it could play Dvds without skipping. I figure it probably wouldn't do the Blue-ray because of the high processing power that might take. But it would be nice to run over 2 hours while web browsing.

 

Dude, it means that you can switch between integrated graphics (X3100) and dedicated graphics (8800M GTX). It means that when you don't want to waste battery life you can switch to integrated so that it can last longer. It doesn't mean it will cripple the laptop in any way. These are the two graphics actually. Alienware barely managed to squeeze a 8800M GTX in the 15", two would really be impossible if someone would want to keep the height and weight down.
It is a glossy screen for sure, WUXGA.

 

fade2black- What I wanted to know what gfx card it was using(you answered that) I wanted to know how crappy of a subcard that was. I had a sony SZ that had a intel card with the nvidia. It was just just good enough for dvd playback, which is fine. I just wanted to see if the alienware builtin card was decent enough to do that or Bluray playback
