Alienware Aurora mALX

Laptop Magazine takes a look at a huge SLI-based gaming laptop from Alienware. A machine that should not even be considered a laptop anymore, nor one for people on any sort of a budget.

Just how big is Alienware’s 19-inch, SLI-based top-of-the-line mALX gaming laptop? Packed into the box is a backpack seemingly large enough for an Everest climb. With dual Nvidia Go 7900 GTX cards and dual HDD support up to 240GB, the mALX may be the ultimate rig for flying through the latest games at the highest settings. At 15 pounds and a base price of $4,499 (our configuration costs $5,549), this system is best suited for LAN parties. Wherever you take the mALX, it will dominate the competition.

In the end the mALX gets a four and a half out of five and an editor’s choice badge, though I don’t see the appeal of such a system unless you are gaming professionally, especially with the battery being drained in an hour. I’d say stick to 17″ or less like the machines listed on Digital Advisor.
