Dell’s announced that all Alienware Area-51 and Aurora desktops and the M17x and M15x laptops are now to come pre-loaded with Steam and a free copy of Portal.

“Entertainment, specifically gaming, is a primary use of PCs in the home and on the road,” said Jason Holtman, director of business development at Valve.

“Alienware is a household name among PC gamers who want the most out of their hardware. The combination of Alienware hardware and Steam equals a superior gaming experience.”

Don’t blink: you’ll wake up in a Valve-owned world. Full thing through the link.

Dell’s leaked Alienware’s amazing TGS announcement – it’s a really fast, really heavy, really expensive computer. We called it.

It’s an upgraded M15x, this time, according to Engadget, including “a Core i7 processor, 15.6-inch 1920×1080 LED backlit display, a full 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 memory, options for a traditional hard disk or SSD drive of unspecified capacity, a 2 megapixel webcam, Blu-ray disc option, Firewire, 3x USB, 1x eSATA, ExpressCard and 8-in-1 card reader slots, an optional 9-cell 86Wh battery, and DisplayPort and VGA outputs among other notables.”

Go nuts. No date.

Alienware’s teasing a TGS announcement it promises will “shake the gaming world to its foundation,” according to its Facebook page.

We love these Alienware launches. Let’s have a guess: will it be a really fast, really heavy, really expensive computer? We think it might.

Thanks, Engadget.

AlienWare’s announced the “all-powerful” laptop it’s been teasing for the last few weeks.

It’s the M17X, and it ships with a brain-melting spec of two 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M GPUs, a Core 2 Extreme quad-core CPU and up to 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 memory.

Hit the link to read and weep. The bottom of the range model costs $1,799.

Update: Could this laptop be what the fuss is all about? Whether it is or not, we want one.

Only two more weeks to go.

As expected, major PC companies have announced the PC Gaming Alliance (PCGA) today at GDC, a non-profit organisation backed by Microsoft, Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Dell/Alienware, Acer/Gatway, Activision, Epic Games and Razer. The group expects to grow throughout the year.

The idea of the Alliance is not only to promote PC gaming to the public, but to “drive developers, publishers and hardware makers.”
