It now comes to preference.. You want an alienware or asus.. That's all

If you prefer better specs get the Asus G73

I aGree with you Doc. We have to wait to see the new developement in Alienware GPU Options. This is like the transition period and may not be the best time to get ur set as they may be the GTX 300M Series options maybe in a month or twos time or a 5870 CF for the M17x. But its just my speculation and we'll have to wait and see..... its gonna be a GPU war again....

The EDGE Alienware has over its competitors is definetly looks as well. Who can deny that the AW does really look like a mean gaming rig with uber cool built in features and design? None, they'll just have to rely on their performance to edge AW and that too won't be for a long period as the Alien evolves....

p:s On a side note, I think our User list needs updating. I see new owners posting here.... WELCOME!!!!

that means wie can choose to upgrade our gc to gtx300, if new alienware is built with gtx 300?

Guys!!! Seems like a horrible thing happened to my m15x...just now after playing mass effect for about three hours...it suddenly shut down by itself...poof!...check my plug...seems to be ok... But when i tried to on it back....nothing...list of thing that i did before the unfortunate incidents are as follows:
1.played mass effect
2.used zalman cooler nc2000
3.used asus xonar u1 usb sound card
4.connected via logitech 4 point usb hub
FYI the m15x is a virgin set meaning no overclocking watsoeva...haihz have to call dell to claim my complete cover tomorrow...sad night indeed...RIP my beast :-(

See... This is what i like about dell's alienware...not only because of the great warranty by dell...but also excellent support by its community...thanks guys

Doc , how many FPS are u running on COD6 if u enable VSync ? Dont mind testing it on a Snow stage and tell me ? Thx

Who says M17x has heat issues lol. No prob playin ME2 on oc'ed gpu and cpu without aircon also. The cooling on M17x is among the best for notebooks atm.

1 of d reasons y i got my AW is for showing off lolx ... if not i would have settled for a sager = = both offer me my SLI requirement ...
AW owners does have bragging rights  !!!

Erm, google for M17x pics and look under at it's base

not necessary to own an alienware laptop bag.. I'd rather spend it on Alienware TactX Mouse or something else

most of the time uses photoshop, 3dmax software.

Dunno i can get that much,though.

I need portability and performance.Ideally,M17X is the best since it has a quad core and a 280.
It needs a quad for recommended,but once you have a 2GHz and above Duo Core,you can play the game,on low. Doesnt look too bad and still damn fun with all the destruction.

Im playing it on low with my old XPS.Enjoyed myself a lot.

means su7300 can run? cuz its got 2 cores.
1.3 x 2 = 2.6ghz? im noob at this, correct me if im wrong..

lolx , my m17x is very portalble wo =p easily last me 2 hours  @@ haha. Weigh wise was only felt on the 1st week , later on bo rasa d ~

Hey everyone, great news...

Lolx Doc , upgrading ur warranty later to 3 years would cost u about 800 bucks = = my fren kena that price for his inspirion ... imagine that might mark up d price for our AW ...

over budget duh.. i know is good for the quad... but price ...........
and then the waranty if extend it after purchasing will costs u at least 500  for only 1 years...
my friend kena that b4..

hi all a quick question.

Alienware just refresh their version of laptops ? or they refresh for more than 1 year already ?

you know like MacBooks, they upgrade the specs it every once in a while.

IIRC, Alienware also. Or not ?
