Alienware M17X Review

Dell Inc. acquired Alienware in March 2006 as a subsidiary, but Alienware was founded about0 years ago. Alienware had specialized in high performance desktops, notebooks & workstations. Historically in the past, most major manufacturers, including Dell is not the potential of high performance betting market to see. As demand grew for betting laptops, Dell was drawn to Alienware.

Alienware's own name & the names of the products are inspired by the hit TV series, The X-Files. Even the designs of its laptops have extra-terrestrial themes.

Alienware's absorption Dell has not led to extreme changes in its products. Alienware actually have lots of leverage now, since it is still autonomy in design & promotion, while benefiting from the supply chains of Dell, the purchasing power & production capabilities.

There is no doubt that the Alienware M17x is a gamer machine. The design is not ambiguous at all. LEDs are in every single place on the M17x, & they like the choice that the user to change the lighting makes combo.

Like most betting notebooks, the M17x is heavy. & it is made harder due to the metal decorations, the eccentric design, the chassis & its internal parts. Even the lid is heavy. Portability has fallen since they doubt that people are enjoying the performances of this much weight around.

We wish the full-sized keyboard as responsive as any laptop computer that they tried. The M17x can do multimedia tasks well. The figures speak for themselves: 17-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 high definition resolution. Moreover, the speakers deliver clear & loud noises.

Alienware does claim that the M17x is the "most powerful laptop computer in the universe." They are not positive about that, but they go along & say it ranks high on that list. The laptop computer is equipped with Nvidia GeForce 280M GTX graphics cards & a.53 GHz Intel Core Quad Extreme QX9300 processor. This would not play heavy to play.

Other features of the M17x include HDMI, VGA, Ethernet, USB.0, eSATA, DisplayPort & FireWire ports, & a memory card reader & an ExpressCard/54 slot.
