Extreme Core 2 Technology

Alienware computers are fast and powerful. Outfitting the Area-51 m17x notebook with the Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme processor, Alienware achieves benchmarks previously unimagined on a mobile system. HD video editing, audio mixing, 3D model rendering and other resource intensive applications suddenly seem less taxing when you have the power of an Alienware behind you.

Up To 1TB For Maximum Capacity

Capacity isn’t an issue. 1TB in a high-speed RAID 0 configuration keep you well stocked with over 250 full-length movies or roughly 250,000 songs. RAID 1 redundancy backups, hybrid hard drives and even solid state drives give you tons of options for increased data security and stability. Store a lifetime’s worth of information on your Area-51 m17x.

Increased Storage Options With Smart Bay

When additional hard drive space is crucial, a 500GB swappable Smart Bay drive brings the system’s total capacity to 1.5TB. Use multiple Smart Bay drives to assign dedicated drives for movies, photos, music or anything else you choose. Smart Bay’s hot-swappable design makes switching drives a snap and, unlike external hard drives, Smart Bay doesn't monopolize a USB port or require an outside power source.
