As we’ve greatly expanded our PC offerings, Alienware has been a great partner for Capcom over the past year. We use their machines for development and testing. In some cases at some of our dev partners, they’re even powering our render farms.

If you ever swing past their site , you may notice that a lot of the imagery surrounding their beautiful rigs is from Capcom. You may have seen Nathan Spencer from Bionic Commando in their print ads. You’ll see Will from Dark Void and Street Fighter IV characters in upcoming promotions as well.

Almost half of the games in Alienware’s booth at E3 were Capcom PC titles where they were showing off their newest baby, announced on Tuesday, the M17x gaming laptop . While I personally run on an Alienware M17, this thing makes my beefy laptop look anemic. I was smitten by the new angular design and what a beast it is on the inside.

Here’s what it’s packin’:

Powered at the high end with a Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor, a pair of 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M GPUs and up to 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 memory, speed and strength work in perfect harmony to bring you the pinnacle in mobile dominance.

From games to media to your business presentations, the M17x provides you with the storage capacity you need and the lighting-fast access speeds you want. The choice is yours, be it 1TB Hard Drive at 7200-rpms or a 512GB SSD in either RAID 1 or RAID 0.

With all the latest tech in your hands including, FireWire, 4x USB, eSATA, ExpressCard, 802.11n WiFi, 8-in-1 media card reader, dual-layer Blu-ray, a 1920 x 1200 pixel edge-to-edge LCD, DisplayPort and HDMI-outs, you will be ready, out of the box, for the experience of a lifetime.

These puppies start at $1,799. Perfect for running Excel or Outlook at incredibly high speeds (tell the boss you need one to maximize productivity). Then go run the DMC4 benchmark from the demo (or buy it )   and make your friends cry. It also runs Street Fighter IV PC flawlessly on max settings (a fact we learned by having the only M17x at E3 that wasn’t in Alienware’s booth in ours).
