[Konk74]

god don't you just hate it when paris hilton gets in your brand new laptop as well?

[Oasyskookai10]

Play mineraft

[KornStalkers]

hey rob haha um would you do a video over minecraft

[acer631ify]

Please play Minecraft

[mttogo]

HOW did you make that open folder for games thing???!?@??!?!!??!?!

[MrRobman100]

So i'm gonna sound like a dickhead here but how is this thing at regular everyday computing? I plan on buying this to take to college so i'll be using it more for Microsoft Office and browsing the web than for actual gaming. That i7 is no doubt fast and powerful but i just want to hear it from an actual owner

[robublind101]

@MrRobman100 it's perfectly fine, I'm at a friends house right now sitting in a chair with no desk

[MrGamerAsian]

is it to small? or is it just right?

[robublind101]

@MrGamerAsian That's what he said to her the first time. Lol sorry I had to, but its fine, a little on the small side, but you get used to it. (thats what she said at least)

[oxleydude]

i just got one of these, however i didn't upgrade to the i7 processor...is the i5 still badass? lol im a computer novice

[AdmireVoltage]

@oxleydude yes you can still play every game becuse its still a quad core processor

[oxleydude]

@AdmireVoltage thanks dude, i appreciate it

[hsbinh1412]

@oxleydude

Yeah, but it is just that i5 is no longer considered as badass though

[oxleydude]

@hsbinh1412 haha, well i had trouble enough payin for the standard package, so i guess it'll have to do. lol cheers mate

[johnnydrack1]

woow his like a teacher explain everything

[hphave]

My computer can run minecraft too :D

[SuperGamingCity]

@hphave not me yet :P

[XStreamGunz]

Does the lightning behind the keys and stuff take alot battery life?

[XStreamGunz]

Your socks kick ass

[ImperialGoldfish]

Standard youtube protocol: NEVER make the audience wait while you do something you should have done earlier, and NEVER put the camera on its lens while you fiddle around!

[KurianGaming]

Hey, I'm considering the m14x but I have 1 concern, the weight

I need a laptop for gaming and to take with me to college, I can't afford 2 laptops so I want one that I can take with me on the train/walk trough Amsterdam (safety is not a problem) AND to game with at home

Do you think it's too heavy to carry with you every day?

Thanks :)

[Vanquish96X]

@KurianGaming I take my to school everyday and unless you load up with textbooks the weight is not a problem.

[z0mBiExHD]

Does Alienware M14x Overheats? plz reply.

[TEZARADOSOS]

Is this good for Total War games of all types?

[DukeOfTennessee117]

@TEZARADOSOS LOL What is up man!

[Packmaker]

[robublind101]

@Reelthanstreet44 I had one up, but Windows Movie Maker decided to F^&k me. So I have re-record the whole review, so hopefully by tonight

[Reelthanstreet44]

@robublind101 Alright thanks.

[Greeksoldier101]

minecraft

[chinkcochen]

i just don't know what to get the m11x or the m14x its such a hard choice

[theshadowstopper]

@chinkcochen go m14x. just for the few hundred $ price. its bigger. and has a disk drive.

[MrArpollock]

@chinkcochen get the m14x beacuase it has a disc drive.

[11BMXDUDE]

hey rob

[Mrproslayer1]

nice computer rob

[anpredictable]

ok why the battery life so important? i mean ok yea its for gaming you should expect that it will probably ran out immediately, if you gonna asked for the batter life then get a different laptop. geez just grab the battery charger and plug it in!

[OathForFew]

i giggled when you were trying to cover your name xD nice review thou!

[convictor11]

how long is the battery life if your not really useing any major graphics

[linkbest84]

Is this good for study and game use ?

[c00kies25]

How long is battery life when gaming, example; playing gta iv

[robublind101]

@c00kies25 this laptop downclocks itself on battery, and its really not suited for it. If you get the A01 BIOS it won't downclock, but this might cause crashing issues. I've heard 45 mins to an hour or so, but I've never done it

[Eclipce24]

hey howd you get the shaded regions of your desktop like at 5:30 ish its pretty nifty

[robublind101]

@Eclipce24 its called Fences by Stardock, I've added it to the description

[LawlietDestiny]

Nice, thanks

[greedisgoodz]

would this be good for a student?

[MrComicMischief]

@greedisgoodz Sure, but it's pretty heavy to lug around. The mac would be better as it starts up really fast and it's VERY light. This is more meant for staying on your desk and playing mid range games.

[greedisgoodz]

@MrComicMischief I already have a macbook, but since gaming on it sucks I'm thinking of switching it out for a dell xps 15. In my college a lecture is 95 minutes so it will properly be placed for a long period of time and i usually have 4 lectures a day. What do you think?

[DannyCro9009]

Nice no BS, straight to the point review! You've helped convince me the M14 would be a great substitute for my crapped out old M17 (pre Dell acquisition M17). Cheers!

[gh3legohero]

how did you organize you desktop with those labels that say Games, or Utilities???????

[NOMNOMSUSHIBEAR]

Question, is this a laptop ONLY for gaming or can it be used for E-mails and facebook? Also, is it a good college laptop?

[Tophisthebest226]

@NOMNOMSUSHIBEAR this laptop is like any other. It usually comes with windows 7 pre-installed, which means it works like any other computer, but better. And like any other computer, you can install other OS's on it

[ericzxvc]

Did you upgrade the screen?

[ericzxvc]

@ericzxvc Sorry I wrote this comment midway through the video, got it now

[MistNin]

My m14x is nebula red.

[MultiAddictivePlayer]

utorrent! lols

[fullm3t41]

dude... CERN isn't going to find you by looking at your username.

EL PSY CONGROO

[gh3legohero]

BLACK OPS?????????????? if you could, im thinking about ordering the one im getting with black ops preloaded

[MrDDurst]

haven't had any issues with the alienware logo on the front of the computer? lol that's good

[megabite22]

run world or warcraft please on highest settings

[robublind101]

@megabite22 if i do it would be the free trial, I don't play wow

[hapitzer1]

@megabite22 even if he runs a game on highest settings it won't look good because youtube makes it 360p so yeah

[ArtisticSpaz]

Did you upgrade the wireless card at all?

[smellati]

Hows the weight? Would you consider it portable?

[robublind101]

@smellati its a little heavy, but its definitely portable

[wesfry92]

Hey man quick question, how can you make the different like "Games" and such categories on your desktop? I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Btw have the same notebook and love it, keep up the good videos. Thanks

[TheBartlett127]

@robublind101 Is this a really good choice for a laptop to play a lot of games on? (mostly older games, but the most advanced being Dead Island, Skyrim, or BF3. Everything else Fallout: New Vegas or way lower)

[RYOsmizHI4]

Does upgrading the screen to 720p make a big difference? Like dies it look alot better? And how much fps does it drop? What is the defult screen? Also how much does it cost to upgrade the screen? Lastly (sorry for all the qs) is there anything else you upgraded (how much did it cost ya and did that make a big difference?)? Also skyrim is gonna be kickass!

[Ryevee]

would a stock m14x run skyrim on more than advanced settings?

[robublind101]

@Ryevee I don't know, but I'm definitely going to find out on 11.11.11

[maniac9856]

If you play with the power cord unplugged running just off the battery, on the lowest power setting, what's the noise level like? Could you sit in a quiet room with other people without distracting them?

[Xbox360bbb]

I have this laptop too, but I got the 3.0 gb nvidia gt 555m and 4GB DDR3 RAM @ 1600mhz. I like it a lot, but the only thing I don't like is that my eject button doesn't work for some reason

[bNanner101]

How much fps on minecraft do you run????

[Zirodify]

@bNanner101 Watch his video, it around 170-200

[elementpunk12334]

how long is it possible to play FPS's on this? and if you play for to long what happens? Please Reply

[robublind101]

@elementpunk12334 I've played for at least four hours straight with no issues.

[tyman140]

You should do a game play vid of portal

[Xxd3cayxX]

LOL, your so paranoid lol

[1337Kira]

Dalienware lulz

[TheBlacksarrow]

Which one did you get R1-R3?

[Xxd3cayxX]

@TheBlacksarrow the only m14x is the R1 right now, which is the first model - first revision

[WorldsBestRabbi]

WOOOT new vegas lol. I just bought it on my m17x. Fell in love with the game even if it is buggy.

[chris2hotmail]

minecraft for the win

[BFHSphoenixgamer]

Thank you for the review. Im looking into getting this laptop. I know i can order one with upgraded ram, but was wondering if it has access to ram so i could upgrade it at a later point?

[fantasticcon]

2:49 loooooool

[rinolope]

i'm thinking about getting this pc, nice review. let's say i some how ended up squatting on this laptop and my balls happened to be dragging back and forth across the track pad, will the cursor actually respond?? thnx.

[robublind101]

@rinolope Hmm I don't know, when you get off your iPad, and drive your Ford Prius over here, we can set up your Macbook Air and compare? Or you could gtfo, just sayin'

[WorldsBestRabbi]

@rinolope Tried it. Only works if you turn the sensitivity wayyyyy up. It makes jerking off to porn and selecting different vids without hands so much easier.

[thegorgon1]

i hear the wifi connection on it is terribe is there any truth to that

[robublind101]

@thegorgon1 as far as I've seen, its been fine

[thegorgon1]

@robublind101 but did you upgrade the wirless card or left it at the default 1

[CrAZy8Gaming]

im ordering this laptop soon so should i get the 900p screen or stay with the 720p screen????

[SoberSpyAD]

i wish they had the m14x in silver =/

[thegorgon1]

@SoberSpyAD they had it in silver a couple months ago

[murdoch201]

Garry's mod =D

[ShadyRapture]

lmao Rob is in his youtube account name how did he think he would eve have a chance to hide from us?

[robublind101]

@ShadyRapture I tried bro, I tried

[oxarchangelxo]

Just got my m14x...Love it!

[monkey64cow]

dude... lol the 14x sucks :S just buy the 15x it can have a blu ray player and 1080p screen

[robublind101]

@usaulat damnit my life is over

[NASAnice2000]

@usbank1 he used windows fences just type that up on google and you will see it

[usbank01]

hey bro how did you organize ur files that way on ur desktop?

[SwiitchStyles]

How long did it take to receive your laptop after you ordered it?

[ArtisticNades222]

Lol Dust grime paris hilton

[SSGTrabble]

can you play blue ray from the lap top

[robublind101]

@SSGTrabble no bro, there's no blu-ray player, and the max resolution for the laptop (its 900p) isn't full HD or worth it

[Manfat20009]

shit dude clean the room before reviewing :P

[robublind101]

@Manfat20009 To impress who? It's a mess and its gonna stay that way lol

[Manfat20009]

@robublind101 whaha:P keep going! xD

[Gearsguy405]

OH GOD NO. People know your name will steal it now.

lol, anyways. Could you actually try HL2 or CSS on the integrated graphics? Id rather see minecraft but I dont think youd wanna do minecraft again :P

[robublind101]

@Gearsguy405 I can do either one, only question is by intergrated I'm assuming you mean the Intel chip?

[robublind101]

@Gearsguy405 I can do either one, only question is by integrated I'm assuming you mean the Intel chip?

[Gearsguy405]

@robublind101 Yep.

[skcopian]

@robublind101 in your vid you mentioned that 720p has increased fps compared to 900p however if I play my games in 720p on a 900p screen will there be this problem? (also I think playing in a non-native resolution decreases quality )- is that true?

[robublind101]

@skcopian No, you will see FPS increase with a lower resolution, whether it's native or not, but it will decrease quality

[skcopian]

@robublind101 THANKS, man

[BillyboyMega]

how do you get that catagorized folder thing on your desktop ?

[xRapMixesx]

Wow you are really paranoid

[robublind101]

@xRapMixesx better to be safe than sorry bro

[Skrawlx]

So the battery life is 1 Hour,Unplugged, but your frame rate drops by one half when you're not charging. Is that what you said?

[robublind101]

@Skrawlx yeah, on max brightness its closer to 40 minutes, there are several workarounds to the framerate drops, but nothing Dell official or perfect

[robublind101]

@thejordanousley thanks lol and its called fences

[Skrawlx]

Whats your battery gaming, unplugged and does it run up your electric bill a lot? Real question don't ask. -_-

[robublind101]

@Skrawlx about an hour, but with the latest BIOS it downclocks iitself on battery dropping framerates by about half. the electric bill doesn't really get that much high that I've noticed at least

[gunner4022]

bad company 2 gameplay would be nice, I'm thinking about running bf3 on this lappy when it comes out

[dogg10549]

im also wondering about your desktop organization as well.

[robublind101]

@dogg10549 it

[robublind101]

@dogg10549 its called fences by Stardock

[dogg10549]

@robublind101 Thanks for the quick reply!

[zjacobss]

@thejordanousley He's using fences

[Smudg3d]

Does the keyboard have the 4 back lights or just one?

Also, if you could should us cod4 and MW2 being played on this sexy machine, I would be great full.

[robublind101]

@Smudg3d 4 back lights, I just keep it all the same because it looks better

[TheNextLt2007]

I WORK AT PET SUPPLIES "PLUS" :D

[crayolatv7]

I would like to see black ops multiplayer :0

[LordBling17]

Upvoted for 'where the fuck is Half Life 3?'

[XJunior08X]

Nice video! I got a question, are you using some application to organize your desktop shortcuts? You know how it says "Games" and under it are your game shortcuts.. how did you do that?

[robublind101]

@XJunior08X Fences by Stardock

[SuperPs3reviewer]

Post a video of you playing Minecraft on it!!! Please

[robublind101]

@SuperPs3reviewer Ill do that today quick

[mw2fontaine]

I wanna see cpu benches like cinebench 10 / 11.5 or pcmark7 or super pi... Also: do you have a hdd in the alienware? If so: how fast does it boot. And how much battery life do you get with it? Oh yeah and crysis 1 gameplay, nobody on youtube posted gameplay of crysis 1 (or warhead) on the alienware m14x :(.

[robublind101]

@mw2fontaine I won't be doing cpu benchmarks for a little, I'm more concerned with real-world applications. But I will eventually

[robublind101]

@mw2fontaine Also I have an HDD, I'm not 100% on boot time but it's fast. Ill do Crysis soon, but I'm screwing with partitions so it'll have to wait a little
