A magnificent mechanical masterpiece. In my opinion, the Alienware m15x is a magnificently well-rounded, gaming machine. The laptop is definitely on the bigger side and weighs about 7 pounds. True, this is pretty hefty but considering what this thing is...

Fantastic laptop. Having owned this laptop for a bit over 3 months (2.5 ghz, 4gb RAM, 200 gb 7200rpm hd, 1200p screen, 8800 gtx) , i can honestly say that this thing is a beast. i will admit that it was too expensive, but that is any alienware. no...

The m15x is from another planet! Build & Design There is no notebook out there that looks amazing as the m15x. It is hard to describe in words how cool it is; even pictures aren't good at all to show its beauty. The flashy lights, curved corners,...

Fast & Pretty, just how I like my woman. Most negative reviews I have seen are customer service related. Luckily I haven't had to deal with CS yet. I ordered a 3 year warranty, so eventually I imagine I will. Ordered this baby the day it was available...

Very happy user. I'm not a high-end gamer, but I enjoy gaming. I'm not a graphic artist, but I enjoy using graphics heavy applications. While wanting portability, size and weight weren't a huge consideration. More importantly, I wanted a laptop that...

Amazing Laptop! Must Buy! Great laptop. I got one with a Nvidia 8700m GT and Core2Duo 2.5Ghz. The laptop runs nice and fast. Crysis running on medium is really nice and games like BattleField 2 I get around 100fps. Almost every game I can max out. I'm...

A POWERFUL LAPTOP with style! The fastest laptop I've ever used for graphic and 3D designs! Although I noticed that it takes a while to start- when I turn on the laptop, I expected that it is ready to use within 30 seconds. I don't like its gray color...

Excellent customer service, innovative product offerings. I've read some of the other reviews, and i'm inclined to disagree. I've owned high end versions of almost every major computer manufacturer, and the difference here is astonishing. Customer...

Alienware's Flagship. I had always wanted an Alienware laptop since they first began producing them. But, I am glad that I held out this long to get one. Alienware is about creating a unique product that has premium components to match. The Alienware...

Too heavy for a 15" system. I'm not sure there is really a place in the market for a 15" laptop that weighs this much. People look for this size class because they want something a bit easier to carry around than the 17" desktop replacement behemoths,...

Great computer but.... I gave it a 3 but I pretty much suppose not many people have encountered the same problems and some problems come probably more from Vista then from the computer itself..also the Customer Service from Alienware is terrible. So the...

Terrible if you rely on the touchpad. This has the potential of being an amazing laptop, but if you rely on the touchpad at all, you should not consider this laptop. The touchpad is made from the same cheap-looking plastic materia as the rest of the...
