Money no object, Would you reccomend the M17x or the M18x I'm going to buy one of the two within the next couple of weeks top of the range. just don't know which one to get???
Different mods of installed module use. The M18x spec's around with the very high throttled performance (330 watts). The M14x is an i5 based CPU : 240 watts. Those M14x will try and give you in with the high-end spec's performance in the combination of saving energy. M14x is a scale down to the medium of those high's. (I'm a M18x owner.)
Mate, I've got the Mac Book Pro 15 inch 2.6 GHz with retina display, and I've just ordered this beast with maxed out configurations. Don't get me wrong, the Mac is great at light music/video editing on the go or just everyday use but it does not do hardcore gaming, first of all it's a big hassle to get Windows bought and installed, which is necessary for any semi-serious gamer, and it still doesn't have the oomph needed. They are both stunning computers but they have very different uses.
Both of them serves their own unique module hook up, for example: that the m17x has a built-in mini-sd flash card reader, the m18x doesn't. You would wanna look around for which of the 2 would fit you the most; other wise the both of them feels the same.
i dont think that u would complain about the m18x i have one myself its really good. im 14 years old and its the best gaming pc ive ever had. hoped this helped :)
Can it record games on ultra, like black ops with fraps or wegame at the highest settings. (Normal specs) Or do I have to upgrade RAM and CPU? I'm a pretty hardcore gaming, and I need the power and technology to play smoothly at high graphics with minimum to no lag at all, thanks for answering, awesome reviews! keep it up ;)
Hey man, the Alienware laptops are total beasts of machines, I would say that the alienware laptops are just mobile replacements for actual gaming Desktops. Considering the unmatched hardware inside it would also be a slightly heavy gaming laptop. These laptops can handle basically anyhting you want them to because they are pretty powerful. The next gen Alienwares have just been Released at 2013 E3, so if you want to, go check them out, id prefer one of these laptops over a PC anyway.
I was wondering, if you customize your intel and NVIDIA on the Dell website will it still come with 3d and Bluetooth capability? And did the dude on the vid customize his own or got the original platform?
so if you have a alienware, and playing games such a call of duty 4, what kind of fps would be average, would it be a dominant 250? or something around 100?, im thinking of getting one!
@MrThaibox123 hey what are the specs for this, im thinking of getting one and tell me, with ur specs how does it run? cuz so far iv speced mine to about 2860 pounds and you say you got it under 2000
If you want maximum value for money you need to build your own. However it would be much easier to simply buy one of these. You could get an incredibly powerful PC with the best there possibly is out there for 2.5k if you build one. These however are definitely not nearly as powerful although they still can handle most things at very high settings
hi all I'm not a fanatic gamer but love to play a couple of game once in while.I need to change my computer hi is a grandpa now. He was build for game and was planning to do the some thing. My question is; would you think something like Alienware m18x would replace a "tower" pc?
and also, i will be using fraps (meaning big, files) should i get the 256gb ssd for running the games and an external harddrive for all the other files? BTW there is no option for a 256GB SSD AND a 1TB HDD!
hey, is it possible to hoock up the tritton true 5.1 headset or 5.1 speakers using the spdif, dual headphone jacks and mic in? can you get surround using the software?
@JaredThinks if you "need" this much power get a desktop otherwise the m17x is better and cheaper a single gtx580m can run anything at 1080p max quality the m17x is slightly smaller but much thinner and more portable the macro keys on the m18x are in the most annoying place(i have the razer blackwidow there in the same place) you can get a 120hz screen in the m17x which imo is much better 3d or not you can get 3d vision in the m17x (love 3d vision so much)
was about to buy one yesterday, but price ($6k with my specs) and size (its a freaking desktop with foldable display!) were two main reasons I didn't. Might as well get desktop for half the price with same specs.
This does not have 2 HDMI outputs. It has one HDMI 'input' and the other is 'output.' In other words, you can connect a PS3 and use your laptop screen as the monitor.
Okay, say you wanted one of these. You make a mistake, think its $5k instead of $3k. You could get- This (duh) A Macbook air 11 inch 128 gb A cool wireless Macbook mouse A wireless mouse for the Alienware Another mousepad for the macbook A floor mat & Wheely chair A Microphone A webcam A game case A Camera+Sd card Games A lava lamp A bunch of minecraft crap A poster A Betta fish, tank, and all the stuff you need for it. Some betta tank decorations And you would still have about $730 left. :P
I originally got an Alienware M14x and I regret it so much. If you are going to spend the money on an Alienware, buy a good one. Go all out. I'm getting an Alienware Aurora Chassis ALX.
i need help! i am getting an alienware laptop but i can't decide which one! i like the m14x for price but the size is too small. m17x is nice and fairly cheap. and the m18x coz the size is nice, but the price is just.....so please help ..
Hi, im from 2021, that is the sickest laptop ive ever seen
do you think a refurbished one would still be enough to last and have a good performance
oh thanks would recommend in the m18x then ?
Money no object, Would you reccomend the M17x or the M18x I'm going to buy one of the two within the next couple of weeks top of the range. just don't know which one to get???

@MrPhatSlim No worries dude. Thanks for watching :)
Does the battery block come with the lap top or do you have to order it in the accesories
Both of them serves their own unique module hook up, for example: that the m17x has a built-in mini-sd flash card reader, the m18x doesn't. You would wanna look around for which of the 2 would fit you the most; other wise the both of them feels the same.
Does it come with all that or did he just buy it sepperatly when your doing the customizing?
what do you do for work. you have alot of computers and you cant use them all.
just wanna know
@TheTranceSeeker Thanks mate
i dont think that u would complain about the m18x i have one myself its really good. im 14 years old and its the best gaming pc ive ever had. hoped this helped :)
im thinking about either m14x, 17, or 18... any chance could you do a size comparison vid?
Would you consider this a good laptop for college?
Would you recommend this in Australia at $44 per week?
is it better to get the 256GB SSD and a harddrive with it? or the 1TB harddrive?
So sorry i missed u live mate, was busy all day! Great unboxing :) :)
@tennisstar523 Oo why? how heavy is it in terms of comparison to other items?
how much stuff do you have? ipad, macbook, m18
What's the difference between the different alienware laptop and what's better windows 7 or windows vista
Wait wait wait... Did you say dual SSd's in RAID 0 running 7200 RPM...? From my knowledge, Solid State means they don't spin at any rpm.
whats the difference between the dell one?
Hey Thaibox, where do you buy your alienwares from? :)
u know the macbook pro coming out this year the 2012 version ? will this run better than that still :)
is the m14x beder then the m18x?
which is better the 15 r or the 17r ?
Can it record games on ultra, like black ops with fraps or wegame at the highest settings. (Normal specs) Or do I have to upgrade RAM and CPU?

can you make a down payment on an alienware laptop or do you have to do the set monthly payments?
would fsx be good for this laptop
did you buy it or just got it to review
when yo select this, the will whatever card you choose be dual sli?
so if you have a alienware, and playing games such a call of duty 4, what kind of fps would be average, would it be a dominant 250? or something around 100?, im thinking of getting one!
@MrThaibox123 hey what are the specs for this, im thinking of getting one and tell me, with ur specs how does it run? cuz so far iv speced mine to about 2860 pounds and you say you got it under 2000
How long is the battery?
I know its expensive. But could you do an unboxing of one of the alienware desktops?
If you want maximum value for money you need to build your own. However it would be much easier to simply buy one of these. You could get an incredibly powerful PC with the best there possibly is out there for 2.5k if you build one. These however are definitely not nearly as powerful although they still can handle most things at very high settings
how many watts is the power supply for the m18x ?
can i ask, what do you need TWO alien ware laptops for, are you building for the next mission to mars?
is it any good? cause im thinking of getting a laptop :D
did you opt for the dual 6990s in it?
do the alienware has any failure hardware level after an year
what is the difference between the m14x and the m18x ???
I just wanne now. whats the best gaming laptop in the world...
hi all I'm not a fanatic gamer but love to play a couple of game once in while.I need to change my computer hi is a grandpa now. He was build for game and was planning to do the some thing. My question is; would you think something like Alienware m18x would replace a "tower" pc?
Nearly 100k views on this vid nice work man keep it up
and also, i will be using fraps (meaning big, files) should i get the 256gb ssd for running the games and an external harddrive for all the other files?
BTW there is no option for a 256GB SSD AND a 1TB HDD!
Does the m14x have a mouse pad ?
I wonder how much it costs to manufacture them and how much profit they make
im planning to get one for university some time this winter or next spring :) hope its worth it and thanks for the awesome reviews!
does the m14x come with 3d????
I am getting one for Christmas! SOOOOO EXCITED
@kajigeani this is dell....Dell bought out Alienware to produce their high end desktops and laptops geared towards gaming/rich media use
Guys i want to know who is the best alienware, m18x or alienware m17x r3 for hardcore games and everything.
2.0ghz? o.O I don't understand why you didn't get an over-clocked one at 4.0ghz? My HP/Compaq has 2.30ghz!
please link where u buy this computer :P
thx
hey, i need ideas on how to get 2000 doallrs for this m18x, well for a standard one. any tips on how to get one of thse fast?
Dang. I wasn't paying attention on the unboxing. The viewing angle of the Apple Cinema Display is just superb.!!!
Where can I download your Mac wallpaper?
Can it run Minesweeper on ultra settings?
I'm glad I'm getting this laptop for Christmas :)
Unboxing/review of XPS 15z coming any time soon?
this sounds stupid but how do you take out a disc on this alienware ?

Do you have one?
hey, is it possible to hoock up the tritton true 5.1 headset or 5.1 speakers using the spdif, dual headphone jacks and mic in? can you get surround using the software?

Fantastic laptop.... only thing I don't like is the touch pad being so off-center.... never did like that.
Is this laptop 3D like the M17X R3???
I think the size suits the look on this laptop also.
@TakensoK todos queremos amigo... todos queremos...
how much it's cost?
Can heard your heavy breath when you were holding M18X since it is really a big one!
What is the song you use in the opening of this video.
amen to that! I mean after all we only live once right?
There is no 480m sli on the Website. You mean 580m sli right?
I wish this laptop pls... best laptop Ive ever known
This does not have 2 HDMI outputs. It has one HDMI 'input' and the other is 'output.' In other words, you can connect a PS3 and use your laptop screen as the monitor.
I love your intro music, who made it
Okay, say you wanted one of these. You make a mistake, think its $5k instead of $3k.
You could get-

A Macbook air 11 inch 128 gb
A cool wireless Macbook mouse
A wireless mouse for the Alienware
Another mousepad for the macbook
A floor mat & Wheely chair
A Microphone
A webcam
A game case
A Camera+Sd card
Games
A lava lamp
A bunch of minecraft crap
A poster
A Betta fish, tank, and all the stuff you need for it.
Some betta tank decorations
And you would still have about $730 left. :P
