It's hardly surprising that the Alienware M15x is huge
And has a miserable battery life (about an hour and a half with Wi-Fi on). And even the lowest specced Alienware M15x comes in at a hefty £1
Alienware M15x is arguably the best gamming notebook that we have ever had in our test centers but it comes at a premium. If you have deep pockets and are a gamming enthusiast, you cannot get a better gamming notebook. ...
The keyboard itself is quite interesting. The tapered keys are easy to use, and well spaced for gaming. The interesting part comes into play with the backlighting of the keys. The keys light up the computer like a Christmas tree, making the laptop "co...
Abstract: Alienware’s M15x is the company’s newest 15-inch gaming laptop. As you can probably guess from the name it is a smaller version of the M17x and the follow up to the Area-51 m15x. We previously posted a first look of this computer so stop by if you are ...
Fantastic all-metallic design. Fastest mobile processor available. Excellent graphics card. Customizable LED lights in the keyboard, around touchpad and button. 1080p screen resolution.
Glass screen is like a mirror. Heaviest in its class. Pricey.
The M15x is the first Alienware laptop to transition to Intel's Core i7 processors, but the M17x is looking like the better pick when it gets the same Core i7 treatment....
Abstract: A gaming monster which completely justifies the high price and the name.Sum and Substance:Thumbs Up:A great laptop for gaming and video watching. Great looks(gorgeous, in fact) we just couldn’t stop staring at this baby! This beast is fast and can take...
Unique design and lighting, Stunning 1080p display, Very high performance and build quality,
Milehigh price tag as configured, Larger and heavier than typical 15.6” gaming notebooks, Poor touchpad surface, Has DisplayPort but HDMI would be preferred,
The M15x is a well-rounded 15.6” gaming notebook with extreme performance. Its physical appearance and AlienFX customizable lighting system are truly unique. The full HD 1080p screen is terrific. The keyboard feels good and the build quality is generally top notch. We have some reservations – the poor touchpad surface, heavy and large form factor for a 15.6-inch notebook, and lack of HDMI – but f

Abstract: Keeping the same revised look and feel as the , the Alienware M15x is an imposing black slab of computing power that's thicker and heavier than most 17-inch laptops. We love having high-end options such as Intel's uberpowerful Core i7-920XM CPU, and it...
Excellent workmanship, Futuristic but posh design, High stability, Multifarious and adjustable light, Very good display, Good input devices, Fairly low surface temperature, High performance, Overaveragely good sound, Pleasant soundscape in idle mode
Average battery life, Intensely reflective display, Smudge susceptible display frame, No HDMI
Alienware M15xGenerally, the Alienware made a very good impression. The M15x probably doesn't have competitors in design, materials, stability and workmanship. Additionally, the multifarious and, adaptable to the smallest detail, lighting is a real eye-ca...
Great 3D performance; solid construction; sleek design; beautiful HD display
Pricey in our test configuration; heavy; lacks HDMI port
The M15x, one of the best-performing 15-inch gaming notebooks around, is loaded with cool features and top-shelf components. It’s also quite expensive and heavier than most notebooks in this class. ...
