Alienware Laptop Reviews

"Killer gaming muscle Solid CPU performance High definition display Excellent keyboard for gaming Solid speakers...Flimsy display hinge Super heavy Poor battery life Obscenely expensive...And Dell’s flagship gaming system, the Alienware M17x ($4,649 as configured), mostly lives up to those claims...Measuring 16.0 x 12.6 x 2.1 inches and starting at 11.6 pounds (depending on your configuration), the M17x is the type of notebook that requires a hernia..." read more »

"You'll also find a leather folder, which contains the manual and CDs, including Vista Home Premium, Nero 7 Essentials and the M17 support disc...Overall it's a fairly comprehensive bundle and does make you feel you're getting that little bit extra..." read more »

"We’re not sure that’s such a good idea as the two cooling fans for the CPU and GPU get a bit noisy when the m15x gets to work, and the headphone support from the Realtek HD audio is no better than average...Stealth mode had us baffled at first as the m15x was delivered with it enabled so the CPU, memory and graphics performance were throttled to save battery life..." read more »

"The Area-51 m9750 is the Alien Queen of notebooks: black, striking, immensely powerful and bristling with unexpected weapons, er, features...Unfortunately every Alien Queen has an acid side and m9750's is the layout..." read more »

"Phenomenal performer Very thin and light for a 15.4" Great audio; crystal clear headphone jack Show stopping design 'Feel-good' keyboard ...Abysmal battery life Runs warm Needs another USB port Fan could be quieter LCD needs better...The Alienware m5550 is certainly a unique machine -- I'd call the overall case design 'out of this world', literally...The Alienware m5550 comes standard with a glossy 15.4", 16:10 aspect ratio panel in..." read more »

"The m9700's metallic-green paint job is not for everyone...Like the XPS M1710, the m9700 features a bright, 17-inch screen that carries a full 1,920-by-1,200 (1080p) resolution...I was a little disappointed when I realized that the m9700 has a single-core AMD Turion 64 processor, as the dual-core AMD Turion 64 X2s are available..." read more »

"Good gaming performance Attractive looks...Poor build quality for the price Very heavy...Sadly, this doesn't disguise the poor overall build quality of the machine...The keyboard is a good size and sits squarely in the middle of the main chassis...The keys proved responsive, but the board was poorly mounted, so bounced a good deal as we typed...While this is partly true, in the case of the Alienware Aurora mALX, we're just not convinced the extras are worth..." read more »
