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...
