I would really like to see Alienware offer the GTX 485M as an option alongside the Radeon 5870 Mobility in the m17x.
The GTX 485M is far more power efficient than the GTX 480M was (by around 20%) and also has performance levels up to 60% faster than the currently in place 5870, plus almost double the performance of the also offered single GTX 295.
This is a new GPU just released that would take the already extremely powerful m17x to a new dizzy height of performance level.
Would also like to see the Radeon 6970 Mobility replace the currently used 5870 as it's far more powerful!
Thank you Dell!!
Status Update:
See David V's comment. The GTX 580M has been implemented in the latest M17x and M18x. Thanks for your submission.

While the M17x R2 you are referring to is no longer being sold, you can find the latest NVIDIA GPU, the GTX 580M, on the M17x R3 and M18x.http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-M17x-r3/pd.aspx?~ck=mn
