Alienware Area-51 m15x Gaming Notebook Review
Digital Trends has just reviewed the high-end Alienware Area-51 m15x gaming notebook.
Let’s see what they had to say:
“The Area-51 m15x is certainly an amazing notebook, and we actually like it better than the Alienware m9750 and Dell XPS M1730 simply because it’s a bit smaller and easier to transport, but still extremely powerful. We love the system’s lighting scheme, the modular bay and the fact that it can be configured to be as cheap as $1,499 too.
The only real beefs we have are with the speakers and soft-touch controls, which are difficult to use. The LCD bezel also creaks when you move it around, but that’s the sum of our gripes, which prove less deal-breakers than general annoyances. Like we said in the intro, the m15x is one heck of a gaming notebook, and is almost perfect aside from these small issues.”
Wow, Core 2 Extreme X9000 2.8GHz, GeForce 8800M GTX 512MB, 4GB DDR2-667MHz, 15.4” 1920x1200 widescreen display, 200GB 7200RPM HDD + 320GB 5400RPM HDD, and a Blu-ray writer…this is easily the fastest 15.4-inch notebook on the market. Mind you, this is a $4000 configuration, and for that price it rightfully should be flawless. Therefore, it’s a little disappointing to know that it has weak speakers and is a bit flimsy in certain areas.
