CNET Review
The Good: The new Alienware M18x is built around a stunning 18-inch display, with copious configuration options for killer performance, including overclocked CPUs and dual video cards.
The Bad: The M18x starts expensive and goes up from there, and for that kind of money, we expect a better design than the aging Alienware dorm-room chic.
The Bottom Line: Alienware again pushes the boundaries of laptop performance (and price) with high-end parts and a great-for-gaming 18-inch screen.

Review Summary: Dual GPUs and an overclocked CPU make the Alienware M18x one of the most powerful--and expensive--gaming rigs ever.
