Alienware m18x r2. This beast was the best of the best of Alienware’s gaming laptops, sporting a rare 18.4-inch display and a chassis with enough ports and features to rival a desktop PC. It has the unique distinction of being able to support triple hard drives and dual graphics cards. You could literally replace an entire gaming rig with this single laptop.
The model in today’s deal is fully customizable and comes with a very respectable base configuration. A 3rd gen Core i7-3630QM processor powers everything, supported by 8GB of RAM and a 750GB hard drive. Gaming is handled via the Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M 2GB graphics card. 1080p resolution is standard on the 18.4-inch display, making for one impressive machine.
From there the sky is the limit with customization. The slot-loading DVD burner can be upgraded to a Blu-ray model. Are you a stickler for I/O performance? Does triple 512GB SSDs in RAID 0 sound like enough? Our favorite upgrade option would have to be the dual GTX 680M graphics cards though. No matter what you choose, the m18x r2 is a ridiculously powerful and upgradable gaming rig.
It has a total of four USB 3.0 ports, eSATA, gigabit ethernet, 9-in-1 media card reader, both HDMI and Mini DisplayPort outputs, full surround sound support including optical output, and a ton more features. You can even use the 1080p display for another device thanks to an HDMI input built into the m18x.
Normally the m18x r2 retails for well over $2000, but right now you combine some hefty instant savings and a coupon code to snatch it starting at just $1699 with free shipping. Not surprisingly, this is the absolute lowest price we’ve yet seen on the m18x.
