How do the Alienware laptops have such high-end GPUs in them? I've seen a model that even has SLi.

Are they using some low power version of the current GPUs? Like there are Low-Power CPUs that deliver the same performance. Is there such an equivalent for a GPU?

The new cards are absolute hogs from what I see. Plus all that power running through the system produces a lot of heat.

They use mobile versions of the GPUs. They aren't as powerful as their desktop counterparts, but still quite good for gaming on the go.
