I red rumors about this update being impossible but it is finally here: the Alienware M17 can be configured with the 1 GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4850 CrossFireX.
While the M17 lacks some features of the M17x, such as the possibility to run on integrated graphics to save battery or the cool design, it’s a bit less expensive (around 250 € cheaper with the 4850 CrossFireX compared to the GTX 260M SLI).
If you are interested on this laptop, have a look at Alienware USA and Alienware UK.
And speaking about Alienware, a few new reviews of the M17x have appeared: at CNET, Computer Shopper and the Notebook Review forums.
