MSI GT680 for performance-wise in my opinion compared to the m15...but TBH I was poisoned by the m15x by its design,luckily viruz helped me out with his advice and i got through it.I've carried the gt680 to my college in a sling bag and its already a pain to your shoulder.I could not imagine what will happen if i were to take the m15x and hurt my spine and my shoulders to a further extend.
For the guys out there who have trouble making this decision,m15x to go if you prefer the bling bling and design type,but gt680 if ur looking for performance+enhanced audio performance.Plus,you've also gotta think if you're doing a presentation in college/university/work,the impression of using the msi and AW has a huge gap..how so?Well,you wouldnt wanna let people see how "bling bling"your laptop is huh?For those who wouldn't mind then all I can say is up to you.If you wanna look presentable and ready to present a matured document,MSI definitely win this bet.There are always pros and cons in everything so you will have to consider every aspect you want and your seeking for
I've been using the 1st version of the GT680R now for 2months and havent encounter any problems with it yet.Yes of course i took care of it properly

.Just a word from my mouth,I've been through some AW discussions and happen to see some people are suffering troubles with their AW product once they got it or something like that,somehow the MSI is just a good piece of work sent to your doorstep in a perfect condition.
The Alienware M15X was definitely designed perfectly and its an eye-capturing product.Also,I am sure most of us are attracted to its chiclet keyboard which has LEDs below it that allows us to customize the colour by using the AlienFX when we're having party to show off or whatsoever.But trust me,I've also heard that this LEDs spoil easily if you keep using them,you wouldn't wanna see your keyboard blinking as though a bulb had fused but some current still made it through and lights it up,making it look ugly,we wouldn't want that now do we?

.Still,based on my experience of suffering the poison of AW,I finally see it through that what I really wanted wasn't a piece of artwork,but the quality in it,that is the performance+audio that MSI has build in this laptop,the GT680R.
Yeah Viruz,MSI's releasing the GT780 which will possessed the ATI 6 series or the Nvidia 5-series,technology....oh well :\,as long as I am enjoying with my GT680R now,then it wouldnt be a matter XD.
Anybody who's still confused between the m15x and the gt680r,you can always look up on reviews and how are the laptops doing so far in terms of long-term usage and its performance.A fact that I can't deny regarding MSI,is their embedding of Dynaudio's technology into these laptops.The audio is magnificent or I can say....EPIC
