Hello, and this is my Alienware Area-51 m15x laptop review. When I came home from school, it had arrived. I cannot post an unboxing video as my mom opened it. :'(

Here are some sized down pictures of it.



I will summarize the computer in to categories about it.



Screen: The screen is a gorgeous 15.4" display with clearview. It has a 1440 resolution, which is more than i'm used to. I have not found any dead or stuck pixels, and it is bright. However, the screen is really wobbly.

Keyboard: The keyboard is one of the selling points of the m15x. It, along with the logo, bezil, touchpad, and alienhead lightup in different colors. You can even set it to pulse. In terms of performance, I do not really like the keyboard as much as other laptops. You can't type fast, because it misses some letters, and there is some give or whatever in the lower right area by the arrow keys. This is bad for gaming.

Touchpad: Again, the touchpad lights up. Other than that, I would say it is average. It is really glossy, but that's why I have a logitech mouse.

Optical Drive: The optical drive can only be opened with the fn+f8 keys. I don't like this, or the fact that it is a little flimsy.

Sound: I haven't tested it yet. I'll get to it later in a later post.

Performance: I will post cod4 benchmarks later.

This laptop is in my specs. 8700m gt graphics card, T8300 2.4ghz processor, dvd burner, 15.4" 1440 resolution, and lights everywhere.

I have been satisfied with it so far, except the OWNER IDENTIFICATION CARD WAS NOT INCLUDED
