Later this year, Alienware plans to refresh three of its most popular gaming notebooks out there, the M14x, M17x and M18x, to sport Intel’s new Ivy Bridge processors as well as discrete graphics cards from the AMD Radeon HD 7900 and Nvidia GTX 600 series.
Making our way from top to bottom, the first notebook that we encounter is the massive 18.4-inch Alienware M18x, that has been introduced by Dell in the first half of 2012.
While the info available about the specs of this laptop is rather limited at this point in time, we do know that the M18X R2 will arrive in both red and black, and that it will include support for dual-GPU configurations.
Moving down a notch in Alienware’s lineup, we find the fourth revision of the M17X, a high-end 17-inch notebook that was Dell’s most powerful mobile gaming solution until the arrival of the M18x.
Unlike the specs of the M18X R2, Dell Lab has managed to dig out more info about this notebook, which suggests that it will be available with at least three different GPU options, namely the AMD Radeon 7970M, Nvidia GeForce GTX 660M and the GeForce GTX 675M.
Finally, the last model to be uncovered is the M14X R2, which will feature the same two colorways as the M18x.
Graphics card options will include various models from both AMD and Nvidia equipped with either 1GB or 2GB of video buffer, but unlike its older siblings, these GPUs will be embedded right in the motherboard.
No details regarding the release date, or the pricing, of the three Alienware notebooks were provided, but since they all use Intel Ivy Bridge processors, Dell has to wait for these CPUs to be launched before it can come out with its gaming systems.
