Alienware Notebooks With Solid State Drives
Alienware revealed today that for the first time, three of its notebook lines the m5550, m9700, and m9750 now have the option of a 64GB solid-state hard drive, giving them the better load times, extra battery life, and absolute shockproofing of flash memory. The 17-inch m9700 and m9750 models are also the first anywhere to ship with the option of dual flash drives in a RAID stripe that offers the same 64GB space but at an even faster speed. Customers can also establish the best of both worlds with a dual-drive configuration that includes a 32GB flash drive for the OS and a 200GB, 7200RPM conventional hard disk for games and other media. Choosing the 64GB RAID will add 1100$ to the normal price of the m9750 while the dual-drive option shall increase the price by another 800$ reaching the incredible amount of 4000$. Dell also offers a similar 32GB solid state drive in its Mobile Precision line of laptops without much of a speed gain.

i love the alienware chassis BUT they are to expensive and to far behind in technology
I do have one alienware system but I bought that in 03 just before the case change and I think I only payed $1300 for it.
