Alienware M17X - first pictures (of outside and some insides)

You heard and saw it here first. NBR owns.

Alienware's new M17X notebook - uncensored.

I got a hold of some pics (mostly of the bottom) of this secret and unannounced 17" gaming notebook.
(I am still trying to get a hold of the M15x pics)

They seem to be working on a service manual for this particular notebook.

Here is what I found:

The guide to opening the bottom panels (it seems).

My thoughts and translations:

As you can see, this is a pretty interesting chassis because Alienware decided to use their alphabet (seen with the recent deciphering contest) and inscribed it onto the panels and the bottom of the notebook.

So, I took the time and liberty to be the first to translate it for the masses:





Looks to be an interesting notebook, but I could not find the GPU module pics (my main goal for doing this).... yet.

Here are teaser pics that show a backlit keyboard, some brushed aluminum, and chassis lights

P.S. Alienware seems to not be doing a great job with all of these leaks coming out days before their official launch date.... or it could be a part of their plans.

Honestly, I expected to see something more than just the bottom but I guess that's still something at the end...

Thanks.

Sorry, I am trying to get more pics.

This is all I got, within the last few hours.

Neato, keep us updated. I'd like to see pics of the full machine as well.

[Gophn]

Can I get this on the mainpage news?

[Dreamer]

Just a few more pictures and you are there...

[Gophn]

LOL. I will try to get more.
