Solid build quality, Beautiful 1600 x 900 display, Excellent sound system
Offers poor performance value, Lacks broad appeal
Our review unit rang up to about $1,600 including upgrades. Some of them are unnecessary for great gaming performance, however, such as the RAM and the Killer Wireless-N solution. But dumping them saves little money; so expect to spend about $1,500 on a...
The performance of the M14x is strong, but it doesn't outrun some other mid-range laptops as well as one might hope. The ASUS K53T throws a wrench in the works because it manages to play Battlefield 3 nearly as well and also achieves a higher 3DMark 11 re...
Core i7 and Nvidia GPU are a powerful tag team, Integrated Wireless HD onboard and comes bundled with receiver, Bluetooth, Can play DirectX 11 titles, Two USB 3,0 ports, Backlit keyboard,
Gets hot during gaming sessions, Heavy,
The M14xr3 is the middle child of the Alienware family. It's a great performer on the gaming grid, but its 14-inch frame works against itthe screen size may make you presume it's portable, but its weight is that of a desktop replacement. And with...
Cool AlienFX lighting, Runs cool even when gaming, Good keyboard and touchpad, Decent battery life,
Glossy screen, Thick and heavy, Poor performance at this price,
The Alienware M14x is a solid, reasonably powerful gaming notebook, but it has issues ... mainly related to Dell/Alienware deciding to make the M15x smaller and create the M14x. The M14x indeed takes up less space on your desk, but in order to reduce the footprint Alienware made the M14x thicker and heavier than any other 14-inch laptop on the market. The end result is a 14-inch notebook that bas
When I say the Alienware M14x is too much by half, I'm not talking about the pricetag. Truth be told the price is actually remarkably reasonable given the excellent build quality, bling, and extra features. I'm talking about the configuration and cooling...
Fast general purpose and gaming performance, Killer good looks with custom lighting, Rubberized coating feels sturdy and doesn't attract fingerprints, Two USB 3.0 ports, Gorgeous 1600X900 14" display, though a bit glossy, Super-comfortable back-lit keyboard, Exceptional build quality, Great sounding speaker system for a notebook
Fans get a bit noisy when gaming, Pricey but you get what you pay for
Alienware designed the M14x with certain compromises that had to be accommodated. Obviously, this smaller form-factor of gaming notebook, in order to meet its thermal constraints, had to be configured with more midrange components. Performance-wise,...
Great program performance, Excellent display, Rubber surface, Illuminated case, Futuristic design, Good input devices, High battery life, Lovely sound output
Very high noise emissions, CPU throttling under full load, Battery is screwed into place, Glossy display, No GDDR5-VRAM, Somewhat heavy
Alienware M14xAlienware's 14 inch experiment can be considered a success - for the most part. As expected of Alienware, the beautiful combination of a stylish case, excellent workmanship, high-quality materials and extensive lighting is sure to attract ma...
Abstract: I have reviewed tons of laptops in my labs and can say that there is not much difference between a 14 inch and a 15 inch laptop. The former is more desirable for better portability. But for chunky gaming notebooks, the difference is more pronounced. I ...
Striking design, Powerful gaming performance for size, Fun lighting options, High-quality webcam, Built-in WirelessHD
Loud fan, Runs hot when gaming, Heavy for 14-inch notebook
With the M14x, Alienware has once again assembled a battalion's worth of hardware inside a stylish chassis. While you can get the same specs in a larger 17-inch notebook such as the Dell XPS 17, it's pretty fantastic that you can enjoy quad-core power ...
