Alienware Area-51 m15x Review - Intel core 2 duo 2.4GHZ Notebook
Alienware specializes in high performance laptops and desktops which mainly targets the gaming community. The latest in the powerful notebook category is the Area-51 m15x. The high end version in this series comes with Intel core 2 du0 2.4GHZ and the pricing starts around $2000. If you customize and opt for all the upgrades, the price can go upto $5000!!
Area-51 m15x contains one of the most powerful mobile graphics cards in the market - NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX. It also comes with a15.4 inch widescreen LCD display which supports upto 1920×1200. This resolution is more than what is required for HDTV! But all this power comes at a cost as the Area-51 m15x weighs over 7lbs.
Other core features include a 7-in-1 media reader, 8 channel high definition audio, integrated wireless, bluetooth 2.0 and Windows Vista or Ultimate.
If you are not looking for huge disk space, I recommend you upgrade to 64GB solid state drive which takes less power and is much more reliable if you are always on the move. Another upgrade worth the money is the 2GB additional RAM which will take the overall RAM to 4GB. In my experience, Vista needs 4GB for smooth performance.
If you are a rich kid, you can buy this baby with your eyes shut!
