Alienware M18x
You'll spend as much as you would for a used car if you trick out Alienware's top-flight 18-incher to the max, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a more spectacular mix of ultra-cutting-edge dual-card gaming graphics, display connection ports, and over-clocked CPUs.
The good: The new Alienware M18x is built around a stunning 18-inch display, with copious configuration options for killer performance, including overclocked CPUs and dual video cards.
The bad: The M18x starts expensive and goes up from there, and for that kind of money, we expect a better design than the aging Alienware dorm-room chic.
The bottom line: Alienware again pushes the boundaries of laptop performance (and price) with high-end parts and a great-for-gaming 18-inch screen.
