Introduction and Specifications

Alienware holds nothing back when it comes to performance and screen size. The Aurora mALX is the fastest performing notebook we’ve tested, but be prepared to mortgage your home!

This is how the conversation went…

Wife:
That looks like an Alienware.
Me:
Yep.
Wife:
That’s a small one!
Me:
No. It’s a notebook inside.
Wife:
Oh. That’s huge!

… and we were just talking about the box the mALX arrived in too!

Alienware has always been a company that has pushed the edge when it comes to computer systems which is why I wasn’t terribly surprised at the size and the unapologetic specifications of the Aurora mALX notebook. The Aurora mALX, Alienware’s latest 19″ monster, follows in the proud lineage as the m9700 we reviewed back in October with options of SLI, RAID, and other goodies you’d expect from Alienware.
