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
Fabulous gaming performance packs power typically only found in large 17inch desktop replacements into a slim 15.4inch form factor, Ability to transform from a highperformance gaming machine to a practical onthego companion, Great battery life for a ga...
The price adding options brings up the price quickly, The keyboard flexes on the bottom right side around the arrow keys, The touchpad is not the best too slippery and scroll zones are visually undefined, The screen wobbles it should have stiffer hinge...
I have to be brutally honest - the Alienware Area-51 m15x is the best-rounded gaming machine I have tested. It really is. How Alienware managed to pack ultra high-performance components typically only found in the largest of desktop replacements into a...
Blazing Penryn processor, Awesome graphics performance for its size, Customizable ambient lighting features, Several power profiles
Short battery life, Mediocre speakers

Top-of-the-line components; backlit keyboard is a cool touch; highest resolution weve seen in a 15-inch display; one of the fastest laptops on the planet right now.
Still not as slick looking as it should be; thick, clunky chassis; touch pad hard to use.
Alienwares amazingly powerful flagship Area-51 m15x has the insides down, but our finicky aesthetic sense isnt sold on the look of this otherwise awesome 15-inch powerhouse of a gaming laptop.
Very Fast Performance, Excellent Display, Customizable
Very Large And Heavy For 15inch Laptop, Expensive When Upgraded From Base Configuration, Below Average Battery Life
