Plastic case with modest workmanship, Wobbling and squeaking display hinges, Hot keys not very responsive, Noisy and hot under load
Alienware makes with the Area-51 m15x a big step forward in the compact gaming segment. Somebody who is looking for high performance among 15.4" multimedia notebooks will quickly notice a distinct lack of competition for the m15x. The biggest weakness of...
Abstract: Truth be told a small part of me sighs when confronted by a gaming notebook. Not because I don't believe in them, but because despite being some of the most powerful notebooks you're likely to find, there's nothing particularly sophisticated about them. T...
Fabulous gaming performance packs power typically only found in large 17inch desktop replacements into a slim 15.4inch form factor, Ability to transform from a highperformance gaming machine to a practical onthego companion, Great battery life for a ga...
The price adding options brings up the price quickly, The keyboard flexes on the bottom right side around the arrow keys, The touchpad is not the best too slippery and scroll zones are visually undefined, The screen wobbles it should have stiffer hinge...

Top-of-the-line components; backlit keyboard is a cool touch; highest resolution weve seen in a 15-inch display; one of the fastest laptops on the planet right now.
Still not as slick looking as it should be; thick, clunky chassis; touch pad hard to use.
Alienwares amazingly powerful flagship Area-51 m15x has the insides down, but our finicky aesthetic sense isnt sold on the look of this otherwise awesome 15-inch powerhouse of a gaming laptop.
Very Fast Performance, Excellent Display, Customizable
Very Large And Heavy For 15inch Laptop, Expensive When Upgraded From Base Configuration, Below Average Battery Life
