Alienware GeForce 7900 SLI Notebook Tested 149
MojoKid writes "Dual Graphics in Notebooks have been in development for a long time now but
very few Notebook vendors have actually brought products to market.
Recently, NVIDIA's launch of the GeForce 7900 series enabled manufacturers like
Alienware the ability to configure Dual GPU SLI systems in a Notebook form
factor.
HotHardware has a world's first look at the Alienware
m9700 Aurora, that comes equipped with a pair of GeForce 7900 MXM modules in
a Desktop Replacement form factor. With a 2.4GHz AMD Turion64 processor,
SLI and a 17" panel,
this machine has more horsepower and features than many high end Desktop
setups."

SLI in laptops! So neat, but so...immobile. Portable, yes. But only within the range of the extension cord. Perhaps when that day comes when we get better mobile power sources we will not come to expect reduced (even if slightly) functionality from our personal devices. When that day comes we will come to expect only greatly increased prices!

To me, adding SLI to a DR laptop is just another draw on the battery with diminishing returns in performance. Does someone have a contrary opinion they'd like to share?
