Dell Alienware M17x Gaming Laptop Unveiled at CES 2011

Dell held a special briefing at CES 2011 today and in addition to announcing the Dell Streak 7, they also updated the Alienware M17x gaming laptop with a new slimmer and lighter design and 3D options. The new Alienware M17x also features a soft touch exterior and a new lower price of $1,499.

By switching over to a single GPU from NVIDIA the M17x is able to also come in a bit slimmer and about 2 pounds lighter, but the big news is that you can now get the M17x with 3D. We saw a demo of the M17x running Crysis 2 today and were really impressed with the machine.

In other news you can add WirelessHD, which operates on its own 60Hz channel to wirelessly transmit full 1080P HD to your big screen with no lag like you see with Intel WiDi.

The Dell Alienware M17x will be available starting on January 10th.
