To all sifu:
I am a newbie to this forum and also a newbie to interact to Alienware gaming computer brand.
I am planning to own a m15x laptop.
But i have refer to plenty of reviews about m15x laptop(mostly written by foreign countries users),
their reviews says alienware doesn't last long,heavy,not good,etc.......
So i am getting not quite convienced to own after i read most of their reviews.
So i am here today to ask opinions to all sifu right here about m15x.
I heard there's a lot of user here from Area-51,sounds cool.
Is m15x really doesn't long-lasting?Is alienware products so not good?
And by the way what is Area-51 anyway?

all alienware laptop are cool ... in two ways , design and heat dissipation..
but at the end of the day , it depends on ur view XD

U wont get the awesome ness until own it!
The lighting System is just AWESOME!!!!
The FPS for games. .
Wow!!
Not to forget
1080P for 15 inch Laptop?
Apple also cannot do that!
Is just awesome. . .
Everything. .
U wont use battery to play game. .
Sure use power plug wan. .
U can choose to turn on Stealth mode to increase stamina and off ALien FX.
If u need a laptop for work, microsoft, internet. . bla bla bla. . or siting in McD for half day
Alienware is not the right choice.
But
If u are a hardcore game den it will fit it just fine!

btw this is a gaming laptop ... its baterry wont last long
but the graphic and its performance = PRO

Thanks ericongq,you just gave me a quite detailed intro for Alienware products.
For honest,I am just planning to get a laptop and this is going to be my first laptop.
So i don't want to end up screwing my choice.
But since you say if its for general use its not quite good choice,what about taking it to college?

taking it to college = nid to find power plug or else take the 9-cell battery option XD

And be fit.. Mine weighs almost 9KG in a bag with accessories.
I thought I could bring it to take research notes but looks like now it will stay on my desk and I have to look for another lighter one, like the iPad2...

Not last long as in the owner want to keep upgrade to new notebook every year?

The reviews you read, are they for the Alienware m15x or the Alienware M15X?

The m15x is the Area-51 series and the M15X is the successor to the m15x.
So far, I have not seen much negative reviews on the M15X but as for the m15x, there were heat problems, weak outer shell (the plastic was a little bit too fragile) and a bad hinge design.

Alienware no longer uses the Area-51 brand since Dell took over.

probably for the M15x
alot of people spell the M15x as m15x
furthermore i dont think much people here have the old m15x anyway

I saw M17x R3 in Dell USA website

http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-M17x-r3/pd.aspx#TechSpec

So its already out

Oooo.
So there's difference between M15x and m15x.
So malaysia dell company provides M15x or m15x?
And what is Area-51?

to make explanation simple,

just put in your mind that there are only 3 laptop model that Alienware provided as a moment we speak.
M17x
M15x
M11x
thats the basic things you should know.

regarding Area-51, its an Alienware desktop. the other model for Alienware desktop is Aurora

THIS~

Thanks a lot guys i just feel kinda better after seeing all of the comment left.
I think i could made up my mind now.
Mr.Docter, can i order one of the alienware bag from dell website?

I think it's better if you can buy direct from Mr.Doctor or putochip123... their prices are better than Dell's~

Really?I was attracted by its Wireless Security Shield.As you know laptop are really too easy to get stolen even if its inside your car bonnet

dear sifu, im looking for a powerful laptop to run 3d software like maya and zbrush.

was thinking of m11x according to my budget and also mobility when im not near my desktop. screen reso does not matter to me as long the laptop is powerful enough to run 3d software.

i heard rumor m13x is around the corner?

or you mean by M18x?

m13x no rumors on that?
