Alienware's Area 51m lets you swap out its CPU and GPU, like a proper desktop! ASUS's ROG Mothership is basically an all-in-one PC masquerading as a notebook. And Acer's Predator Triton 900 has one of the craziest hinges we've ever seen. PC makers are experimenting more with gaming laptop designs than ever before. That's a good thing for consumers, since it's leading to potentially useful new form factors. Not everyone will need these machines, but the lessons PC companies learn from them could eventually trickle down to all of their computers.
 
Take the Alienware Area 51m. It seems like an almost impossible creation -- it's a 17-inch notebook powered by Intel's latest desktop CPUs and chipset, as well as NVIDIA's RTX 20-series GPUs, all in an 8.5-pound package. Once you open it up, you can swap out the CPU, GPU (via Dell's Graphics Form Factor card), storage and RAM.
 
Even casual gamers might have some intriguing new options this year. AMD just announced its next generation Ryzen mobile CPUs, which include Vega GPUs, and Intel claims its upcoming 10nm chips will feature integrated graphics with over a teraflop worth of performance. We don't know how well Intel's new tech will work out, but we did briefly see it running Tekken 7 on a very thin PC.
 

I should have kept my i7 7700K + 1080 SLI laptop:

I'll probably end up getting this Area-51M. Finally a decent looking replace for my 7 year old Alienware M18xR2. 

I just realized that's the actual title of the article LOL
