NVIDIA announced the new "All powerful" M17x notebook from Alienware ships with three NVIDIA GPUs, the notebook features the GeForce 9400 IGP and a pair of GeForce GTX 280M graphics cards.
"NVIDIA GeForce GPUs delivered the no compromise performance we demanded from our flagship gaming notebook," said Arthur Lewis, general manager for Dell's gaming group. "With the M17x, we will offer gamers in 35 countries the most innovative notebook product Alienware has ever created."

"Alienware built the M17x specifically for gamers, and gamers want GeForce graphics," said Rene Haas, general manager of notebook GPUs at NVIDIA. "By pushing technology and design innovation, Alienware strives to deliver the best, most immersive gaming experience possible."

Built with the gamer in mind, the M17x pushes technology and design innovation, establishing a precedent for combining best-in-class performance with striking design. Alienware M17x laptops deliver scorching gaming performance by combining the horsepower of two discrete GeForce GTX 280M GPUs with NVIDIA SLI technology, and have the option of switching to a quiet operation mode with NVIDIA HybridPower(TM) technology. In HybridPower operation, the powerful GTX 280M GPUs are powered down and graphics operation is transferred to the GeForce 9400M GPU to save battery life while still delivering great graphics.
