The Making of Alienware's M17x Gaming Laptop

[X64Marduk]

Too bad your PCs are unreliable and break out of the box with lights that don't work and mess.

[guynamedoliver]

Alienware is the cult PC of windows....

[Astrotechnics]

I'll stick to my MSI. Not going to touch another Alienware for 5 years.

[OMAHA2231]

I wish Alienware still made their own specific parts minus the gpu. That would still justify the cost of one... But generic third party parts that dell is now using in them is why I haven't ever bought one and have turned to building my own computers.... Yeah they look nice and have great specs and custom cases but I'm not gonna drop three grand for something I can build for half or 3/4ths the price... I'm not a hater.... just miss the old Alienware

[himynameispuky]

Too bad Alienware decreased built quality.

[BREEZAR428]

isn't alienware a good product cause i have looked at the comments and there are mostly bad and less of the good so what to believe cause wow i never even knew alienware had that many problems or so because in the future im looking to buy a gaming laptop and i want a quality one you know not a laptop that over heats so much.

[MetalSlab]

Heavy, unreliable, poor finish, overheats in a heartbeat - from an ex-m1730 and m17x owner. (Now using MB Pro 2.3 i7 / 16GB Ram and dual SSD. Life is good!)

[themegadrummer]

How much euros is it? ;)

[MylesC1234]

alienware is great. but if it were HP instead of Dell then you would see an amazing laptop that doesnt overheat.

[kenzy6666]

those malackas are the smartest people in the world!!!

[kris10ish]

acer predator g7750 for the win

[LowCostGamingLaptop]

awesome story

[Mrinsanepain]

so do these have a super good graphics card?? cuz im no techno guy :D

[PaRkJuN]

Btw DellVlog do you know when will the Next Alienwares be refreshed? im thinking of buying it. ;)

[DellVlog]

@PaRkJuN I don't sorry.

[Swampax]

@DellVlog I and probably many other gamers are wondering ho this notebook compare to the XPS Studio 17, because i know Alienware to be a gamer line, but the m17x for example has 1gb graphics and 8 gb ram compared to the XPS that has 3 gb graphics and 16gb ram and the same processor at a much lower price. So, which is better for gaming and general performence? I can't see how Alienware is better right now. Any chance you could enlighten us? :)

[DellVlog]

@Swampax I don't have any benchmark comparison unfortunately. The Alienware systems are built specifically with gaming in mind. There will be more options for processors and graphics solutions than the XPS systems. The XPS systems are great all around performance systems at a good price point that are great for a number of things as well as gaming.

[gamingchaos17]

@Swampax alienware pwns xps in gaming, performance ,everything

[memyselfandI531]

alienware kicks f*cking ass and it is awsome i run even runs world of warcraft realy nice on the highst settings without lags and you say apple pwns no way dude

[beyondsupreme]

If you buy M17x, i`ll buy you

[rockstarj19970721]

AMAZING

[rockstarj19970721]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!

[gonewylde]

wow, dell is really trying to copy Apple. Well, everyone is at some point. But even with the product launches/ads? Looks like a poor copy though. Just take a look at the macbook pros videos. The new ones. Anyways. 3-4 thousand dollars for this? It might be a great computer, but that`s too much money. I`m an apple user, so I`m not going for cheap equipment. This notebook is beautiful and all, even though it`s pretty heavy. Not worth it if you ask me.

[mudkipzmw2]

@gonewylde lol, You suck.

[PaRkJuN]

@gonewylde you're comparing Mac to Alienware? keep in mind this is a Gaming laptop~ and compared to the technology Hardwares apples still lacks the Kick compared to Most High End PC that are able to play games made for PCs.

[altair860]

@gonewylde if you think the m17x is too heavy, there is now something that we call GYM actually! and comparing the m17x vs a macbook for gaming its like comparing a honda civic vs a bugatti on a 1/4 mile....

[aleluk]

If anyone wants to know i can tell you that this computer costs about 1000-2000 dollar from scratch but when you customize it will get to probably atleast 3000 dollar i bought my alienware for about 3700 dollars but I have to say that it is the best computer that I have ever used and it's deffinately worth the money

[Rachamacha]

@aleluk Just bought mine for 2300. It's got 8gb ram, 2820qm i7 and a 6990m, so I think that price is fair for being able to play crysis maxed out.

[ManiacWithGrenades]

damn, 4000$ is alot of money. but for this thing, it's worth every cent.

[renekenshin6573]

It's because they're fcking aliens lol kidding XD

[physic3]

yeah man

its weird it i swear then i called dell then they connected me to alien ware then they told me to hold then they never came back well at least for the hour that i waited for..

[ArkansasBlue46]

What I want is a laptop that can be taken apart and have new video cars and stuff changed and added like you can with a desk top.

Why hasen't anyone made a customizable laptop yet?

GOD if I had the money I would take over this industry...

[RareJj7]

That's basically what an m17x is, their all made from scratch and suffice it to say, it's a fully customizeable laptop

[Mahaney82]

You're retarded. Its a good thing you dont have any money.

[omgjustwannawatch]

@ArkansasBlue46 Yeah, no one has thought of that...You're smart, you're the first guy who ever thought of such a thing. You should get the Turdduster Award for being the biggest turd.

[electronicchronic]

takes a turdduster to know a turdduster XD

[physic3]

1-800-alienware... the number dosent even work

[DellVlog]

I just called it. It works. Did you spell it correctly?

[BionicleManiacx95]

has this laptop came out yet?

[KNOWER96]

Long time ago.

[ZeroSixNinetyFour]

is it available in philippines :D ?

[SpartanLegion1]

its all over the world i believe

[james07jamesjames]

i don't think it is. i would like to see it hand to hand. i'm from the philippines too. :D

[tmat56]

I think they took a lot of inspiration from the Lamborghini Reventon.

[Schmidty17908]

Its great that they give you the option to get WOTLK preinstalled in it so you dont have to bother with it

[thet2project]

it does i thought

[mike2839]

think i should get this laptop for playing Warhammer Online, or Aion???

[afg96]

buy a mac

[TheAmefist]

I think thats a waste of money you don't need a laptop like this to play games like that. Get a more affordable laptop like an XPS they are still good.

[SpartanLegion1]

the PC i have can run both nicely i have a Toshiba Satellite spec are

Processor: AMD Atholon X2 Dual Core QL 2.10 GHz Ram: 3GB Video Card: ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics 250GB HDD

[Bobakidboy97]

Has the looks, has the style, has the graphics, has the performance, has the gaming-feel to it. What more can a gamer ask for?

[k1ngm0m0]

@Bobakidboy97 a good price/discount?

[MrOrganikGaming]

@Bobakidboy97 a mouse

[potatojuice321]

@Bobakidboy97 has the overheating and your hands get wet

[nielsboex]

@Bobakidboy97

Customer service, do you know how many people are stuck with a broken alienware product ? Alienware has great products, but dealing with their customer service is a nightmare.

[gusdecool]

@Bobakidboy97 the weight

[adrianloyola22]

hey guys can the dell alienware m17x run the sims 3 on the highest settings with no lags and can you buy the dell alienware m17x here in sm mall of asia philippines?

[Contrastique]

Most definitely. I don't think you can get it in a mall though I think you COULD find it @ Future shop or something. Btw.

[THEassassinata]

yes u will be able to play the sims easily on the highest settings with no problems but... i dont think there's any point buying a £ 1699 ( im british ) if you're just going to play the sims. if i were you i'd take a serious look at the m15x

[ShrEadHunterN]

@adrianloyola22

WHY THE F**K DO YOU HAVE -4 THUMBS?!?!?

Alienware is owned by DELL

And i'm sorry i can't help you with the question... 1+ thumb from me to deal with - ones...

[IMPMAC]

too expensve

[Kerpaltheballer]

really slik computer i gotta admit but with about 3000 dollars and all you get is 4gbs of ram and a 250gb hdd i dont think its worth it... But i really like how they put in the power to play really high quality games with its raptor card!

but with 3 grand i dont think its worth it

no hate though!

[adrianloyola22]

hey what ghz is the alienware m17x and can i buy the dell alienware in sm mall of asia philippines?

[adztermancoool]

LOL no, you have to either order it online or go to north america

[Maddog1600]

[JakeMcCrary]

Ha, ya, that would be sweet!

[RareJj7]

[druidkg]

[mikodono]

damn i have to collect money for one and half year to get this one and spend it all the money for one stuff like this, but i'm go na buy it for sure

[LAXERkid16]

can u buy this laptop right off the website and it will still be very very good???????? PLEASE RESPOND

[GTAavatar]

that is the ONLY way you can buy one as far as i know. and yes, it will be the best it could possibly be, all hand built by people.

[FragileStaticCircus]

All of Alienware's laptops are high-performers...especially the new Alienware m17x.

[LAXERkid16]

does this computer come with all the stuff it says on the website for only 1,700or do u have to make it good........PLEASE RESPOND

[UndeadKobra]

a basic version with low settings would cost you $1,700, but when you order it you can customize it and tell them how much ram and memory you want, if you want hd-dvd or blu-ray, etc.

[KickenKetchup]

im buying this man

[Toddellis]

Move the keyboard to the front and place the touch pad in the upper left hand side. Make the touch pad a multi touch LCD. Include a matching wireless mouse (hopefully they include built in Blue Tooth). Do not worry about overclocking the CPU... it is not really important. Put in faster graphics instead.

[XiaoKiity]

koooool

[compuhelp101]

If only I could harness that much power....

[88shottahz]

pretty fat...which can be super good but also super heavy but.......

mmmm i wonder the price...

[cusinndzl]

That laptop looks pretty good.
