Photos: Cracking open the Alienware Area 51 m15x

The Alienware Area 51 m15x is a well-built, high-performance notebook with a good balance of features. The notebook is not as heavy as it looks and is luggable from one place to another. However, I don't think I would be using it on a plane.

At a price point around $5,000, the m15x is a little expensive, but if you're looking for a powerful yet portable PC, it may just be what you want.
