Excellent review NBC, as always. Loving the laptop, no matter what others say, this is a true DTR. About the reflections, you can always buy yourself a matte screen protector thus eliminating the annoying reflections.
Love the case, love the GPU. Hate the price. HATE THE REFLECTIVE SCREEN! With a passion. You listening DELL? I, and many others like me, will NEVER BUY A LAPTOP WITH A REFLECTIVE SCREEN!!!
Excellent review. Thanks for all your hard work in reviewing every possible aspect of the Alienware M17X. Safe to say, this is the most powerful laptop on the market right now, capable of playing future graphic-intensive games on maximum settings for years to come. Still quite a shame to hear about the reflective screen cover. Otherwise, the Alienware M17X would toast the Asus G75 in almost every detail.
I am looking forward to the translation of the Alienware M14X review. I am looking to buy a powerful laptop with at least a small degree of portability, so I also hope you decide to review other multimedia laptops like the Asus N56VZ and HP DV6T Quad Edition.
Hello to all, good review, I think to place my order for M17x R4 after nVidia introduce 680M on COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2012 (I wait to see 680M performance to decide abut card).
Are you know why AMD drop directly support for 7xxxM drivers?
It's partytime! While Nvidia's Kepler flagship still keeps us waiting, AMD's new Radeon HD 7970M is seriously mixing up the gaming notebook segment. In combination with Intel's new Ivy Bridge processors, Alienware had enough reasons to refresh its Luxury gamer M17x. Will the 17" notebook be able to score our "Gaming Reference" title again?
