Alienware M17x Questions & Answers

What should be my next gaming notebook?

Follow Question Posted by Gamester on Jan 18, 2011

Hi, guys. I'm looking to buy new gaming machine, 'cause my Alienware M15x is old and I want some more power. I was looking for M17x R3, but I think it will be too pricey for me. Can you give me some advice?

Level 2 Yeah, wait to see the price of M18x before you make your decision...and see if they won`t cut the prices of the old models :)

Level 2 RoG is a bit different than a regular ASUS laptop, I think. Never used one though, just an assumption.

Level 2 RoG is a High-End ASUS laptop which main purpose is gaming :) so it is a good choise

Level 1 I am also shopping for a gaming laptop replacement, Currently I am in a holding pattern and waiting for the new Sandy Bridge Intel CPU model to come out. I am looking at the MSI GT680 or the Sager NP8150 to come out and get tested/ reviewed. I did get a chance to see the ASUS and HP mentioned earlier, they are both nice. From my experience it is is the GPU that is the most important component in a gaming laptop, hence i am looking at laptops with the new Nvdia 485m. I have read about mxm and swapping out and upgrading laptop video cards, but they hold their value for a long time, for my old gamer, the next level of upgrade is the GTX 7950M and it is still selling at $500 or more. So I think it is wise and get the most power up to last the longest amount of time. Currently I have a 17 inch laptop and for my wife and I, would like to move down into the 15 inch size. Any suggestions/ knowledge or experience to help with this decision making are welcomed. (PS. we travel and hence the need for laptops and not desktops at this time).

Level 3 Alienware got a free update to GeForce GTX 460M (1.5GB DDR5) on their laptop configurator - I'm looking at M15X with basic core i7 and 6 GB DDR3 RAM here - http://goo.gl/5FiM

Level 2 I think that Alienware is a good choice to replace your old...Alienware :D:D I can't compare their notebooks to anything else on the market. For me their are the 1. But if you want real game experience buy 17" or 18" :)
