    Here’s another review from LaptopMag of the top of the line gaming notebook from Alienware - the Aurora m9700. The m9700 is a 17 inch widescreen notebook featuring support for NVIDIA SLI graphics. Other features include: two hard drives, AMD 64 bit Turion processor support, 1.3 megapixel tilting video camera, 5.1 audio, S-Video in and out, and a TV tuner. You can also configure this laptop to run Windows Media Center (and why would you put any other Windows OS on this bad boy?) Anyhow, here’s the verdict from LaptopMag on this laptop:

    With SLI starting at $2,396, this should be the first choice for all but the wealthiest gamer.
