Evidently, the Alienware doesn't care that the Feds don't want you anywhere near Area 51. "Damn the man", they said (I'm paraphrasing).In fact they want you to take one with you wherever you go. Afraid? Don't be. You won't face time as Bubba's cellmate/girlfriend carrying the new Area-51 m5790 Special Edition. This sucker was on display at CES, and would make for one of the best mobile gaming rigs out there. Heck, it's at least twice as powerful as my desktop.
