Alienware, the leader in high-performance computers, has recently declared its newest notebook, Area-51 m15x, as “the most powerful notebooks from all existed”. By utilizing Intel Core™ 2 Extreme processors, the Area-51 m15x achieves benchmarks unsurpassed by any other notebook in its class. HD video and audio editing, 3D animation and high-end PC gaming suddenly don’t seem as resource intensive as before. Increased processor efficiency means you can work away from your power cable worry-free.
The number of model name corresponds to the diagonal of display (15,4 17 inches) and is equipped with the Core 2 Duo Extreme processors, NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX video card, 667 MHz DDR2, writing Blu-ray-drive (in Area-51 m17x model or writing DVD-drive in m15).
Power users who pride themselves on having the most advanced laptops are happy to trade portability and desk space for a massive 17-inch desktop replacement with the latest high-end components. Those same hardware fetishists should be kicking themselves now that Alienware has gone all-in on a new 15-inch system, the impressive $3,899 Area-51 m15x, outfitting it with Nvidia’s GeForce 8800M GTX video card (previously found only in 17-inch systems) and the fastest laptop CPU around right now, the Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000. Of course, this tricked out config cost nearly double the $2,149 base price.
As the name suggests it’s based on a 15.4in form factor and, unlike the plethora of other so called “gaming notebooks” of this size, this is the real deal since it features the very best components available; in this instance a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 and nVidia’s GeForce 8800M GTX 512MB mobile graphics card. These are both firsts for a notebook of this size and given the requirements of heat dissipation, it’s no mean feat.
At full power this laptop pulls a whopping 70 or more watts, but this is where the magic comes in as that would give it a battery life measured in minutes (as opposed to hours). You can more than cut this power usage in half by switching to Intel integrated graphics and enabling a feature called “stealth” which steps the powerful Intel Extreme Edition processor down into something less than boiling hot, or around 30 watts.
Thanks to a backlit keyboard, touch-pad border, logo, alien head, and screen border, the m15x has more lights than a Christmas tree (but note that the backlit keyboard is a $50 add-on). The Alienware Command Center is a software app used to control the lighting, and you can assign different colors to every section or use one color across all the lights. Unlike Dell’s XPS M1730, the lights won’t strobe or flash, but the backlit keyboard is especially cool, and it’s good for accurate typing in low-light situations.
