The 14-inch M14x is for the gamer who requires a balance between mobility and performance; the 3D-capable 17.3-inch M17x offers an immersive high-definition, surround-sound sensory experience, and the 18.4-inch M18x is for gamers whose priority is performance above all else, but who also require the option to occasionally 'go mobile.' Each new model offers the latest NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon HD graphics cards and the Creative Sound Blaster audio chipset with THX 7.1 digital surround sound and Klipsch-branded speakers.

The Alienware M14x allows gamers on-the-go to experience uncompromising gaming performance. The M14x features optional dual drive configurations, up to 16GB of memory for extreme multitasking, a Blu-ray combo optical drive, and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M graphics engine with GDDR5 graphics memory — the most advanced GPU in a 14-inch form factor and the first time Alienware is offering GDDR5 graphics on a laptop of this size.
