Two thumbs up to Dell for the Alienware M17x that makes gaming not a
problem any longer no matter how resource-consuming a game is. Whether
the game is a rather conventional 2D game or it is a game with highly
detailed futuristic graphics, this one-of-a-kind laptop will run into no
problem at all in processing such a game. The brand of Alienware may
have always been an outstanding one. Yet, with this top-notch laptop, it
seems like Dell is about to even further increase its outstanding
quality. Hearing all that, at this point of time people may be asking
what is really in this laptop to offer PC gamers, especially the
hardcore ones, and other PC users who demand high performance.
Well,
as always, the Alienware product lineups are always customizable and so
is the so-called Dell Alienware M17x. To start it off, it comes offered
with quite a few Intel processor options. For those users who think
that their needs may not be too high, there are the Intel® Core™ i5
processors running at 2.4 and 2.53GHz to support them. Yet, for those
who have higher demands, there is an Intel® Core™ i7 processor running
at 2.66GHz. Better yet, there are the Quad Core versions of the Core™ i7
processors running at 1.6GHz and 1.73GHz. What is even more surprising
is that Dell has also prepared this laptop with a capability of
supporting those PC gamers or users who have extreme demand when it
comes to speed, performance and reliability. These extreme users may
feel more than glad to find out that they can customize their Dell
Alienware M17x with an Intel® Core™ i7 extreme processor! This extreme
processor runs at 2.0GHz and it will even boost up to 3.2GHz when used
in Turbo Mode.
However, processors may find it hard at times if
they are told to process heavily loaded applications or games without
the help of some powerful graphics card. Fortunately, thanks to the ATI
Radeon™ Mobility HD 5870 installed into this laptop, the processors are
not quite likely to run into a hard time and thus will not disappoint
the users. For the graphics card, users can choose between the single
graphics card and the CrossfireX™ ATI Radeon featuring 1GB video memory.
Now,
can serious PC gamers and users count on extreme processors and even
the CrossfireX™ graphics card alone? Not really. This is perhaps why
Dell offers up to a maximum of 8GB dual channel DDR3 running at 1066MHz.
With this memory capacity, multitasking seems to be a piece of cake for
this Alienware M17x.
Unfortunately,
high capability processor, excellent graphics card and powerful memory
capacity without a huge storage are not enough especially for ultimate
gaming. But thanks to Dell, users can choose among a SATA-II HDD with a
storage capacity up to 640GB, an SSD (Solid State Drive) with up to
256GB, Raid 0 HDD with up to 1.2TB and Raid 1 HDD with up to 640GB. All
these storage options are surely huge enough to hold everything - be it
games or graphics design software or any other kind of software PC users
can possibly find - the users want.
Yet, there is one question
that may well come across the users' mind. How are they going to install
applications or games into the laptop? Well, they will not have to
worry since Dell has thought of that. Dell offers the Alienware M17x
users with the options of a dual layer DVD burner, dual layer Blu-ray
reader and even a dual layer Blu-ray burner. With all these options,
either the PC users or the hardcore PC gamers are not quite likely to
find any difficulty in accessing all kinds of optical storage media they
may probably find.
Those stuffs above are meant to provide users
with unrivaled performance. Now, for the sake of users' vision, Dell
Alienware M17x is equipped with a WideXGA+ display measuring 17 inches
diagonally and it offers a resolution of 1440x900 pixels. Or, for even a
better vision, users may choose the WideUXGA 17-inch RGB LED display
with a resolution of up to 1920x1200 pixels.
Now, what about the
operating system that the users are going to use? Well, the options
consist of the genuine Windows® 7 64bit in all editions available. With
that being said, those users who are up for everything Windows® 7 may
probably offer, they can choose the Ultimate edition of the operating
system from Microsoft. Yet, for the others, they may well choose either
the Home Premium or the Professional edition.
Another
customization option that is usually available when it comes to
Alienware laptops is the color of the laptop itself. Well, in this case,
users will be able to choose among lunar silver, space black and nebula
red - which is a bit costly because it is a special edition, all with
anodized aluminum case. But color is not the end of the customization
Dell offers.
There is yet another customization item which is the
personalized nameplate. So, as always, those who buy this laptop will be
able to have their name engraved on this nameplate which makes Dell
Alienware M17x unique to each of its owner. And, for even more
customization, the owners of this remarkable laptop can choose what
AlienFX color they would like to have. There is the Quasar Blue, Astral
Aqua, Mars Red, Terra Green and Plasma Purple. Yet, for customizing
operating system so that it reflects each user's personality, there is
the AlienGUIse theme manager featuring Breed Theme. Also, the users can
choose from several avatars and wallpapers to make their Dell Alienware
M17x rather personal.
Last but not least, Dell offers a
pre-installed World of Warcraft game as well. It seems that this has
been a habit when it comes to the Alienware product lineups. The users
can always expect some pre-installed games to come along with the
laptop. But this is good in fact since it may save users the time
required to install the accompanying game.
