New generation Alienware M18x.

Nearly two weeks ago, Dell announced an update of Alienware gaming PCs using Intel's latest processor, Ivy Bridge. However, some users who just ordered before this time may feel "tricked" by the company to not suspend ordering before the upgrade.

Dell today said customers who have recently placed orders but before the upgrade will be exchanged for free on 3rd generation Core i models with the same amount of money. Applicable models include M14x, M17x and M18x.

In addition to the new generation of processors, this year's Alienware series also adds some other changes, such as the WirelessHD option (wireless connectivity, high-definition image transmission). In addition, users also have the option to choose the SSD that comes with the optical drive while previously choosing two drives comes with an optical drive removal. In addition, Blu-ray is also added options.

With the new upgrade the M17x is the first gaming notebook model to be 2 GB AMD Radeon 7970M graphics card. The M18x alone allows users to choose up to 3 solid-state drives. In addition, the audio system has been upgraded with Creative's Sound Blaster Recon3Di High-Definition hardware, although the built-in Klipsch speaker system remains the same.

M14x starts at 1,100 USD, M14x is from 1,500 USD and M18x is from 2,000 USD.
