Dell will be refreshing the rest of its Alienware laptops in 2012, adding new graphics options and other hardware upgrades, PC World reports.

All three Alienware laptops - the M14x, M17x and M18x - will now come with new Nvidia GeForce GTX 600 series graphics cards. Players can opt to upgrade with the Nvidia GeForce GT 650M for the M14x, or the Nvidia GeForce 675M (or the AMD Radeon HD 7970M) for the M17x and the M18x.

Other optional hardware upgrades include a Blu-ray drive and an mSATA port for the M14x, full 1080p screen resolution for the M17x, and the option to pair two video cards together in the M18x.

According to Geeky Gadgets, Alienware has not changed the design or its Alienware configuration tools that enable owners to tweak colours, over-clock settings and other elements of the laptops.
