So where are the best drivers for 7970m CF?  :-\

MSI gt70 has no throttling issue . Just flash EC firmware.

By far the best and most thorough review I have read! I ordered mine a week ago and I can'twait for this beast to arrive  :-D

nice review. you know what this is really expensive i want it so bad but.....the price is really "uhm".

Note that with a keystroke (and subsequent reboot), one can switch to the Intel integrated GPU while on battery, which boosts the life on battery up to 5 hours.  Note that this would be "normal" (non-gaming) use, but gives you much more time between outlets.

I was at first hesitant to purchas an Alienware due to the cost, but after having had my M18X for a little over a week now I am EXTREMELY happy that I paid the extra money and invested in the M18x. The system runs flawless, and can handle ANY game for extended periods of time with no problem whatsoever. I purchased a 3 fan cooling system to provide additional cooling for the system and it has worked like a charm. While the author seems to think that the glare from the screen is bad, but I have used this system in both outside and inside environments and noticed little to no glare. There is a company out there called Nu Image that makes a screen protector that does a GREAT job at eliminating screen glare. If any of you are experiencing ANY glare issues I highly recommend purchasing this screen protector. Overall I would say I am EXTREMELY satisfied with my purchase and would recommend the system to anyone looking for a top of the line, customer oriented gaming system!

Thank you. you are the best source for seeking laptops. and as compared to any other site and their relative topic, you are the king of web.

 awesome review told me everything I needed to know  :)

Fucking Awesome Review

I have always wondered whether you pay for test units or get to use them for free from the company. This Alienware would dissolve my wallet like cotton candy.
