Look closely, it looks like the Alienware is now backlit on the cover.

It looks like a 12", 14 or 15", 17", and a 19" selection.

Edit: Or is it a 10", 12", 15", 17"? I'm so confused.

Does anyone know the specifications of these models? I am beginning to think that these are the new 7700's with motherboard revision 6.1x to use the 7800 GTX Go's. Guess we will know in a week what the update is. But another thing that is very interesting is that 7800 GTX Go is not suspose to be sold to the public until november 15th. I think this is one of those pre-order deals like they did last year when the 7700 was released. This is one of those "do not judge a book by its cover" things. We should wait until the specs are released in detail.

LMAO!!! yes I have to agree and I think I got a lemon filler since the following has been replaced in 6 months, motherboard, cpu fan, hard drive, GPU, and power adapter. Hope these are better and from what I read the these are true DTR's. One benchmark's I looked at had the notebooks within 10% of identical desktop models. What a christmas it will be for someone with these nice lappies.

My thoughts exactly !!!

Hopefully they are all black and I wont have to shell out more Ks for AW stuff. If they have cool colors and accents, you can find me juggling while reciting Shakespeare in the town center for spare change.
