Bought a new Toy.

I got this last week, and decided to post up some pics of it.


Alienware M15x

Core I7 720QM Processor

500GB 7200rpm HD

1024 MB ATI Radeon Mobility 5850 Graphics card

DDR3 SDRAM - 1333 MHz - 6GB

Slot-Load Dual Layer DVD Burner (DVD+-RW, CD-RW)

WLED Screen

802.11n Wireless card

Bluetooth card

ect ect ect......

I've been playing COD Black ops, Starcraft II and Portal on it for about a week now, and I love it. This thing kicks ass. Hesre are some pics, sorry about the quality (cellphone)












I love how all the LED lighting can be changed, its nice.

That is sick! I'm looking to get a laptop soon, sure wish I could afford something like that.

Even though I have no intentions to ever own a laptop these are pretty damn awesome. Saw one at a LAN party this weekend.

Solid purchase. How does it run? I had an alienware and it ran pretty warm. My fan was hella loud.

also how is the battery life? I can't imagine it's too great lol

It runs great. Not as hot as I thought it would, kind of around the area of my old thinkpad, so not too bad.

Battery life is about 2 hours, and that is with the 9 cell extended battery. I wouldn't even try to be without the ac adapter if I had the 6 cell standard battery.

So far its handled everything I can throw at it.

That thing is THICK LOL, how much more was it for a solid state? i upgraded to the solid state in my Macbook pro and i love it

kevin, I never would have pegged you for a computer gamer. You totally surprised me, nice purchase man!

i know nothing about computers, but that thing looks sweet! nice buy

06EVO9se - It would have been about 250 bucks more, and only half the size. I figured I'd wait until they come out in larger size and a cheaper price before I commit to one. Yeah, its thick. I had to actually buy one of those Swiss Bag backpacks that can handle a 17" laptop. No other bag would carry it around safely. It doesn't help that I have the big honking 9 cell battery either.

Peaches - LOL Thanks man. I used to do a lot of gaming, but with school, work, Family, ect it was put by the wayside a long time ago. I have a bit more time to do stuff I want now, so I figured it was time to step up to a big-boy laptop.

cool laptop but what's the point if you need the AC adapter at all times and the thing weighs half as much as a desktop?

what mouse do you use with it?

Its better than the last laptop I had, with a non existent battery. LOL It actually doesn't weigh as much as I expected. At least I don't notice it. Light laptops are for people with no upper body strength.

I am using an Alienware Tactx mouse ATM,



I would LOVE one of these though:



I got the Tact X for free with my system (great promo) and it suits my purposes currently.


If any of you are going to be out at Nates Tomorrow, I'll probably be there for a bit messing around with it.

I have the Razer Naga

It means actions per minute. Just had 238 apm over 30 min in a game lol (7140 mouse clicks and key stroks over half hour). I'm fuckin pro at being a nerd

oh holy fuck, haha nah I never really pay attention to that kind of stuff. to be honest I haven't even played anything besides Need For Speed World in probably over 6 months now.

LOL you fucking geeks.


Just kidding. I'm currently playing Starcraft 2 and COD: Black Ops.
