Expensive, Soft-touch volume control is useless, Feels a bit flimsy in places, Weak speakers, *
The Area-51 m15x is certainly an amazing notebook, and we actually like it better than the Alienware m9750 and Dell XPS M1730 simply because it’s a bit smaller and easier to transport, but still extremely powerful. We love the system’s li...
Abstract: Video Review: Get your gadget fix three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday right here on TheFeed. Today’s technological marvel is the Alienware Area-51 m15x Laptop. Here’s what Attack of the Show’s tech experts had to say about it…Alienwa...

Plastic case with modest workmanship, Wobbling and squeaking display hinges, Hot keys not very responsive, Noisy and hot under load
Alienware makes with the Area-51 m15x a big step forward in the compact gaming segment. Somebody who is looking for high performance among 15.4" multimedia notebooks will quickly notice a distinct lack of competition for the m15x. The biggest weakness of...
Abstract: Truth be told a small part of me sighs when confronted by a gaming notebook. Not because I don't believe in them, but because despite being some of the most powerful notebooks you're likely to find, there's nothing particularly sophisticated about them. T...

I have to be brutally honest - the Alienware Area-51 m15x is the best-rounded gaming machine I have tested. It really is. How Alienware managed to pack ultra high-performance components typically only found in the largest of desktop replacements into a...
Blazing Penryn processor, Awesome graphics performance for its size, Customizable ambient lighting features, Several power profiles
Short battery life, Mediocre speakers
Overall, the Alienware Area-51 m15x delivers the power you need to play the most demanding games, and it’s much more compact than competing rigs. We wish the speakers were a bit louder and that the system offered better wireless range, but no other...

Top-of-the-line components; backlit keyboard is a cool touch; highest resolution weve seen in a 15-inch display; one of the fastest laptops on the planet right now.
Still not as slick looking as it should be; thick, clunky chassis; touch pad hard to use.
Alienwares amazingly powerful flagship Area-51 m15x has the insides down, but our finicky aesthetic sense isnt sold on the look of this otherwise awesome 15-inch powerhouse of a gaming laptop.
