Alienware Notebooks With Solid State Drives

HellasVagabond · Jul 24, 2007

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.

You can get an awesome Desktop for the same amount of money........But there are people that know not what to do with their cash so to them 4.000$ wont be much.

I was going to buy a notebook soon. Fkit. I'm just going to stick with desktops + portable hdd for now. This solid state fun is going to pick up! I'll buy a notebook once I can have like 100GB for a reasonable price.

lol asus vx2 baby! lol maybe, still deciding what i want

i love the alienware chassis BUT they are to expensive and to far behind in technology

$4,000... I'd rather just save that and put it towards a new car. C'mon I could have something so much more beneficial for $4k than that...

Yes...like a couple of high class "escorts"

ouch $1900 just for the drives?!? I spent $1750 on my NC8430 with the 3yr next day onsite warranty!

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.

Hahah yeah right. Hence I said "save" that money toward a car. :banghead:

While I like the idea, they are jacking up prices on pcs and laptops that are waaaay overpriced.
