ALIENWARE HAD THREE things on the floor at a pre-E3 party - two laptops and a concept PC. The laptops were interesting because they were both SLI machine, and the concept was very laptop-ish.
The laptops were the 19-inch Aurora mALX and the smaller 17-inch M9700. Actually, they are huge and huger, but comparatively, the M9700 was much smaller. It was similar to the weight of a mid-sized car while the mALX was a 1973 Cadillac in terms of portability. Neither is much more than a small gaming box that you can drag around, and if you slip and drop it, you can crush anything up to a mid-sized dog with a single 'whoopsie'

Alienware Unveils 'Faster Than Wired' Gaming Laptops
The new laptops feature built-in MIMO wireless technology that can deliver faster-than-Ethernet speeds.
High-end laptop vendor Alienware said Tuesday that it has released two high-end computers for gamers with built-in Wi-Fi technology that uses Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) technology.
The laptops enable users to play complex and interactive games without being tethered to a network by Ethernet cables, the company said in a statement. Alienware said it is using MIMO technology provided by Airgo.
MIMO uses multiple antennas to intelligently send and receive wireless signals, which, in turn, increases both wireless speed and range. MIMO will be an intrinsic part of the forthcoming 802.11n specification, which is expected to receive final ratification by the IEEE within a year.
