Alienware Area51-m Extreme Review @ Hexus

This review is somewhat special on a couple of levels mostly since Alienware has always been reluctant to send samples to hardware sites. Rather they prefer to send samples to places that don't do huge reviews thus avoiding the "digging too deep" issue that has been a problem in the past.
" Throw in features like 108Mbit WiFi, a widescreen 1.7Mpixel LCD, 6 speaker audio (!) and it's hard not to lust after one."

"It's big, hot and heavy, but I think that was a given before we even took a look at it physically. You have to decide if 4.0Kg/8.8lbs is something you can live with. It's certainly simple to lug around with the backpack though and it's not too bad on your lap, should you wish to brave cooked sausage and fried eggs for a quick game of UT2004.

Battery life is laughable in the strictest sense, but personally I'm not sure you'd care too much if you were interested in buying one, it's a DTR after all; portability and battery life are secondary concerns."
And it looks funny too. IMO.
