Alienware lifts the lid on M18x laptop spec
Alienware’s latest gaming notebook, the M18x, looks set to dominate the portable gaming market with an impressive spec list. A gargantuan 18.4in full HD screen should take care of even the most myopic gamer while an overclocked 4GHz Extreme i7 processor pairs with NVIDIA SLI or AMD CrossFireX graphics to render the latest games with barely a stutter. Oh and there’s the (quite frankly ridiculous) option to add 32GB of RAM. The 3D-ready HDMI port offers a nice bit of future-proofing, but with these specs we expect a battery life of around 10 minutes. No doubt it will come in at a wallet bleeding price, but on the plus side you can cancel your gym membership as lugging this behemoth around is a full body workout all on its own.

at the price its going to cost and the weight it will be i mean does anyone really think a 18" laptop will be portable? or that id risk taking a 2-3000+ laptop out and about with me? why not just man up and build your own desktop? it would probably be cheaper, you could have better specs and design it how you like rather than from multiple choice options.

I agree to some extent, but I don't think people will be buying this with portability as a priority. Either way you look at it, it's definitely more portable than lugging around a desktop.
For example, I often take my laptop downstairs and game on the big living room TV when no one's watching it. I'm too lazy to lug a desktop up and down, but I'm pretty sure I could handle a laptop!
Same goes for University campuses where students walk a few corridors/blocks down for LAN parties.
Having said that a desktop equivalent (especially if self-built) will always be cheaper.
