By | March 11, 2011, 7:16am PST

Summary: Alienware’s M17x gaming notebook has already been treated to the finer things in life with Intel’s latest Sandy Bridge quad-core processors and now with Klipsch premium speakers too.

Alienware’s M17x gaming notebook has already been treated to the finer things in life with Intel’s latest Sandy Bridge quad-core processors and now with Klipsch premium speakers too.

Unfortunately, not much else has been specified about the quality of these speakers except that they’ll have MaxxAudio 3 software from Waves as well as THX-certified ProMedia 2.1 technology integrated somewhere.

Otherwise, the 3D gaming laptop will have to rest on its existing laurels, such as NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285M graphics, HDMI-in support and an 8ms response time on the 17-inch widescreen display.

The M17x sporting these high-end speakers will be available this month for $1,499.

The looks of the new Alienwares remind me a lot of this gaming laptop - Asus G53JW Gaming Laptop

I guess because they both look like a spaceship. The real question is, how good do the speakers actually sound and are they a better experience than nice head-phones?
