To mark this moment, the crew introduced their “fastest ever” 17-inch Area-51 m17x gaming notebook that would be up for sale today at 5PM. Against the m15x, it’s got a higher resolution 1920×1200 screen and features NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX SLI graphic cards, up to a Core 2 Extreme CPU with an option of two hard drives fitted in RAID.

Call them coffins or couches; they very well deserve this tag. I somehow have a deep inclination for weird stuff especially furniture accessory. Days back, I put across alien furniture and now this Coffin Couch worth $4,500 each would surely compliment them.
