  • Build a desktop, save thousands.

  • U GUYS ARE THE BEST KEEP IT UP!!!!!! ^_^

  • DRX better..

  • No macro keys? 

  • buy the m17x with 3d

  • wait...people still buy alienware?

  • @HERPDEDERP49

    Laptop yes. Stationariy NO

  • Alienware M17x All The Way.

  • getting one

  • me get 1

  • Or, you could build your own computer for 80$ and under!

  • @NewGamer101 LOL don't think that you can buy the part for just 80 bucks moron

  • @Centration I did.

  • @NewGamer101 That's not possible, unless you did black market. Buying ALL the components (starting from nothing) required to play every game with no limitations, will require at leaset 300 bucks. AT LEAST. 1 missing component will eventually turn out into a crash of your system. Good luck with your "80 bucks worth system".

  • ME GUSTA!

  • my cousin says he has never had a serious issue with his m17x that he couldnt fix, had it for year, since money isnt a problem for me ill choose this over an Asus when really, if they both perform great (Im maxing out the specs) then the specs wouldnt matter much to me, then the only thing left is features and looks which i prefer the alienware in that case

  • best. pc . ever.

  • @hawnkblade best laptop. you can always customize a pc to be better than this.

  • @ThatBoredShow true, still its one of the best in the world at least, and from what i know its the only one with 3d graphics.

  • alien ware are good but your better off making a custom one on a site and they take forever to boot and you should do more of a review on what it can handle not how "pretty" it is for gods sake and you should test more consumer laptops and desktops as alienware might be to expensive for some people and i know your in the us and they are cheaper there but back in blighty* they are £1500 and up

    *britain for thoose half wits that dont know what blighty means

  • @mylaptopdiednooo lol...yet more broke people bitching.... Alienware is by far the power house of laptops when it comes to performance....if your looking for something more price friendly your not going to get as good...remember..you get what you pay for..and your half wits comment....its hard to learn stupid at my age..maybe you can just catch up with us :)

  • @davidgsr2k I suggest you take a look at the higher end Sager notebooks.

  • @mylaptopdiednooo Thats what I don't like about people. They care of how long the boot up takes, its a powerful Computer Dangit. Of course its going to take a long time to boot up.

  • I'm sorry, but i didn't t like this video, nothing personal it just seemed uninformative. Nearly half was about the keyboard which is important but along with the ports, it's nothing i couldn't read in the item description. your a cool dude but i would consider lengthening your video's on reviews, especially ones that are a expensive as a laptop. The glare info was a nice note, i would suggest adding more information based on opinion like that. Thank you.

  • Dell complete fucked Alienware up. Now it's just a mess.

    Google 'Alienware complaints' and you'll get the picture. Non-existent customer service, reneging on warranties and cover that you've paid for, cheap materials, grievous manufacturing errors, and an absolute fucking rip-off to boot.

    But I'm sure you'll ignore this and learn the hard way.

    *Sigh*

  • @Mrfedupwiththisshite thank u very very much for telling me this! i was about to order this laptop, but im rather ordering a gaming desktop or a asus g74sx ;)

  • @M3GUS74 You're welcome. I nearly went for an Alienware myself, but I always make a habit of checking for customer complaints before I part with my paper. I'm glad that I did.

  • I want this laptop soooo bad, but here in my country is very expensive T_T

  • Should i get the m18x instead?

  • @thebloddyzorrow its a bit more expensive, only for an extra inch of size and 5 extra buttons, i think you should stick with this one like i am thinking of

  • Im not sure if i should buy this, i highly doubt it can play pong on atleast low settings

  • @phoenixtreble >.<' I hope your joking...

    Alienware can run Everything (Crysis, Battlefield, and yes.. Pong...)

  • @timmyenminoes dude.. alienware cant run everything u giant big JERK! it depends on the specs.. u cant just buy a alienware with i3 and 2gb ram.. as the regular m11x........ jerk!

  • Alienware or macbook pro?please answer.your help is much appreciated :)

  • U r freaking lucky u can buy that my parents doesn't let have it unless I got good grades

  • That looks beautiful. I need one. Cant wait to play skyrim and MW3 on it .3.

  • i pway crysis on my m17x

  • razor blade has a dual core processor where as alienware has a quad core just saying i'm not sure if it's this alienware or the m18x that has the quad both look great i think how everything is set up on the razor blade its mor of a gaming laptop then this but less powerful

  • Very sleek and super power house

  • which is better gaming laptop, the razer blade or this alienware m17x?

  • @theheartofwinter Razer Blade can beat the shit out of this...

  • @theheartofwinter the razerblade only has similar specs to m14x. while m17x is superior to m14x.

  • Y is the mousepad so far left?

  • @Maxrock9 thanks! I will probably get the ailenware. Its heavy, but im sure ill be fine

  • What happened to second 1:50 ... ?

  • Wow, it's a brick. Lovely....

  • I need some help, at the moment i am using a asus laptop with an intel core atom :( but i would like a new laptop, i need to know wether a alienware m17x or a razer blade for gaming/schoolwork mainly gaming. Thanks

  • @SuperGamingChicken

    Both the Razer Blade and Alienware M17x are great laptops, both are ment for gaming and work. The difference is that the Razer blade is thinner and more expensive while the Alienware is bulkier but less expensive.

  • you sir have no pancakemix .

    

  • I plan on purchasing this. Although I do not have enough to change anything from the base stuff. Will it still be good enough to play games in the next 2 years, min of medium graphic settings?

  • @HeskethAlex do you mean the current model or the model shown in this vid?

  • will the base model run BF3 on high?

  • I have Alienware M 17X.This is best GAMING PC ON THE WORLD !!!

  • @TheReelHacker dude it can run 3d games on ultra settings if that gives you an idea

  • this fucker needs to stop spitting all over the mic

  • Omg i just ordered one. Anyone who wants to rip some shooters message me! I'm new to the online world of pc:)

  • Will this screen look good wuth battlefield 3

  • @TheReelHacker Runs them like a beast, considering it is a gaming laptop. Won't perform as impressively as a beefed up desktop though, obviously.

  • Meh id like my inferior desktop , feels more...... home....

  • Aliens would like there computer back now.

  • Comment removed

  • @Rodmaster144 Yes.

  • you sound like you have a stuffy nose.

  • does anyone know what's the difference between the m17x and m17x r3? Which one should I buy?

  • @MasterSocer - the "r3" is the latest version of the system

  • Damn. That's powerful ha ha.

  • does this computer have a 3d screen?

  • @mgssfan Yeah it does now. The R3 has a 1200P 120Hz 3D screen

  • Wheres 1:50 ?!

  • £2k for a laptop... Fuck that. How does yhis fair against the strongest pc out

  • i have the r3, the thing is nice, cant go wrong with it

  • wow my cousin won an m17x in a contest online and didn't have to pay a single penny (lucky bastard)

  • But will it blend?

  • The front looks like headlights of a high-end sports car like a Lamborghini.

  • Cisco rocks!!

  • Hi,I dont know what choose. I want something for collage (portability) with power,I dont know if I want M14X or M17X. At first I wanted M14X for portability but now M17X for power but with M17X I'm afraid of size of M17X... price is cca same.

  • @Mitoful3000 M17x is a 17' laptop, if you don't mind the pc being 3' bigger than the M14x go with the M17x

    I would choose the M17x because it is better than M14x

  • Lol, practically half of the time he was talking about the keyboard (he obviously thinks it is awesome and I agree with him)

  • OMG i wanna have sex with this machine!!

  • @charlessemaan1 i already have :)

  • @charlessemaan1 i already did

  • THIS GUYS VOICE IS FUCKING ANOYYING

  • yag ruoy can you figure out what that says.

  • i got mines for $800 bucks

  • @Kluulessence what in my country its 1599 euro and euro is like 1.2 dollar (o_O)

  • @Kluulessence where? are you sure those werent the 11 inch?

  • @cvunit i got it on ebay and im sure its the M17x luck was on my side that day :D

  • i like how just because the top comment is random, everyone is posting random comments now. Sorry has motha fu

  • carrots are blue

  • Ordered mine just now

  • Im not wearing socks....

  • i really doubt it but, is there any websites that sell cheap real alienware gaming laptops?

  • @Zman1106 no 

  • @dj1ll what laptop did you buy?

  • There is no 1:50 :O

  • looks sexy, but i bought a laptop for $1200 with the same exact specs as a $2000 alienware.... wayy overpriced

  • @Dj1LL yes, same as you man cuz: alienware is too overpriced

  • @deniz11muis1 no doubt about it, your paying hundreds more for fucking keyboard lights and a big ass alienhead

  • @Dj1LL It's called brand name. Taking advantage of your companies reputation and size, sell overpriced shit that looks like high quality.

  • @itsnophun LOL WAHAHAHAHAHH YOU JUST MADE MY DAY LOL

  • If only the m14x had as good of a gpu. Damnit I wish the m14x would just offer a better graphics card I'd pay so much

  • Does this guy have a cold or a couple of carrots stuck up his nose?

  • Now i can grab peelz faster!

  • How much dose a labtop like this go for? I know it can burn a hole in your pocket but is it worth it?

  • @Maxfli101 if your ur a gamer on the move all the time

  • @RaneEarendur you can do it yourself later for cheaper :)

    

  • ok im confused so whats the difference between all these alienware laptops like theres a m13x and m17x and all this kind of stuff so which ones better? and how much is the m17x?

  • @TheChosenGamerz m17x standard is 1499.99

  • @TheChosenGamerz The numbers are pretty much the screen size of the laptop.. for example the m17 has a 17 inch screen. The bigger laptops can also add more powerful things in it..but makes it more heavy

  • overclocking? yes yes yes!

  • Anyone else noticed it was 4:20 ?

  • @fromagelatin8 What The Hell Man!

  • i got a boner

  • @salvatore1231 Shove it out the guys nose please.

  • @shortanimationz wait what im not gay i just love that laptop

  • @salvatore1231 I mean. Shove it out the guys nose cause he has been speaking weird since.

  • @shortanimationz im not gay

  • M17X Vs M15X ?? i all i konw is that the 15x is lighter,smaller body and has smaller screen. + i think it has a quad core i7 920 not the I7 2720 that the m17x has?

    what is better!??

  • @madcowmenton

    It really all depends on what you're using it for, If you're going to do more traveling go with the M15X, If you are going to use it as a portable desktop go with the M17X. As far as capabilities go, both are more than enough for anything you would be doing. Overall the M17X is more powerful, And the M15X is more portable.

  • Alienware is Shit, I have one. Too expensive, bad service and bad hardware.

  • ill be honoest, Sure it is a amazing Rig. But the amount of errors is fuking stupid. I buy a £1700 laptop for it to be reliable, it does at it says but isnt very consitant, its contantly randomly crashing and theirs alot of sound problems too inclueding the broken mic. Ive had it for 2 weeks and so far i really dont think it was worth it.

  • @grealchk Dude your speaking out of my heart...

  • Hey, i am going to be gettin the new M17x should i upgrade the ram from 6gb to 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1333MHz (4DIMMS) for $100 or should i upgrade the Processor from a Intel® Core™ i7 2630QM 2.0GHz (2.8GHz Turbo Mode, 6MB Cache) to a Intel® Core™ i7 2720QM 2.2GHz (3.3GHz Turbo Mode, 6MB Cache) for $200

  • @madcowmenton DONT GET IT. For REAL. Bad service, too expensive and bad hardware. I bought one too. They still don't believe me that it crashes even when I use word. I'll try an Asus now.

  • @BFBC2andMusic yea get the one i have..asus g73jh..bad ass pc

  • I like horses

  • It's a very sexy laptop.. I have to admit.

  • ^^

  • you sound like an airplane intructional video

  • @Hobzy107 LOL yes. you sir, may have the new highest rated comment.

  • hahaha u guys think this is expensive? I went to Origin's laptop website and upgraded the best to max and it costs $17000 (AUS)

  • @fordfan197 I made up a desktop pc with everything max and it was 40k...un fucken believble...

  • @FuZZy961 wow i would spend that on something more useful like.....a car or something....an awesome car like.....a mustang or a camaro or something

  • @fordfan197 Well some people have different preferences. I personally would spend more money on a PC than I would a car just because I really don't care what kind of car I have as long as I like it and it drives good. Not to mention if I bought a car like that it would be ruined from the weather here lol XD

  • M15x is much better for the price!

  • Do I really need: Alienware m17x, Sager Clevo 7200, Battalion 101, Eurocom or even Prostar (custom on the cheap) when G73 seem to handle "most" intensive games?

    BTW any other laptop models that is above G73 spec?

    Crysis (GPU intensive), GTA4 (CPU intensive), BF-BC2 (CPU & GPU intensive)

    Also, it the most EXPENSIVE laptop costing 6K USD easily i.e. if you up all your Alienware options and majority of it option seem overpriced even compared to Sager

  • which one has a better display, macbook pro or m17x? And which one is faster?

  • @sbmsuperman

    umm, well the 17 inch, which is the most expensive laptop I have ever seen has a res. of 1920 by 1200.

  • @sbmsuperman you dont compare macs to pc's or laptops. the macs generally have better cpu's and perform better at multi-media and 3D modelling programs whereas pc's perform better at gaming among other things. Neither are 'faster'. Its just that one is designed to perform better for a specific task/function blah blah blah.

  • @sbmsuperman I know this is a late reply... Apple products are overprices pieces of junk technology... you ca easily get twice the power and speed with the amount you spend on it... If you asked me to get either Apple or Alienware... Hands down Alienware wins in nearly everything...

  • I'd be the sucker that pays that extra 200 bucks to make my LED looks snazzy. But you get that snazzy name plate on the bottom no one can see too! =DDD...

  • And your paying $200 extra just for the keyborad to light up.

  • I hate your voice

  • WORLD'S BEST OF THE BEST AND THEY MADE THE FIRST STRONGEST AND FASTEST GRAPHIC CARD 4GB..WATCH THIS OR CLICK MY NAME AND SEARCH THIS

    >>> MSI GX640 BIG BRO WORLD'S BEST OF THE BEST 2011

  • I don't even play videogames. But I think I just came a little.

  • I am going to be a new college student, not sure what I'm going into but graphics design is a strong possibility. I love games and I don't want to have to bring my desktop to my dorm. I have federal grant money, and I need a laptop for college. Would this be a good laptop for me? I can get it for Dell's retail price minus a huge discount from my buddy that works for Dell.

  • that laptop is phat

  • @ComradeMagnum that laptop is beast

  • wow you got greasy hands

  • what's the price? i'm interested?

  • @ewoud010101 its like 3grand or someish my buddys got one. go buy a desktop if ur gonna get a computer for gaming

  • @Pearldrummer54 You can get them for around $2000 now actually.

  • @bushpilot223 meh i dont think id buy one still... 2000 american or Canadian?
