These new enthusiast notebooks, targeted at one of the fastest growing segments of the consumer notebook market, are among the fastest available dual GPU gaming notebooks in the world. The Alienware Aurora mALX notebook with a 19" display will be powered by two top-of-the-line NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GTX GPUs. The 17" Alienware Aurora(TM) m9700 will be powered by dual high-performance GeForce Go 7900 GS GPUs.
"With NVIDIA GPUs and SLI technology, Alienware has closed the performance gap between mobile and desktop systems with the introduction of our latest mobile systems," said Mark Vena, Vice President of Marketing for Alienware. "The Aurora m9700 and Aurora mALX give customers two incredibly powerful and exciting new mobile options and these new systems underscore Alienware's ongoing commitment to uncompromised performance at home, the office or on the road."
"By combining dual NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 Series GPUs with SLI technology, Alienware's new notebooks unleash a new level of graphics performance for mobile gamers," said Jeff Fisher, Senior Vice President of the GPU Business at NVIDIA. "Gamers on the go will be able to turn up their 3D quality settings at XHD resolutions for a greatly enhanced level of realism and immersion."
