The M15x’s specifications alone will be enough to leave many fumbling for a credit card. One of Intel’s Core i7-720QM processors buddies up with 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 64-bit copy of Windows 7 Ultimate and Nvidia’s GTX 260M is the graphics chipset of choice. In fact the only let down is the 250GB hard disk, but even this makes up for its stingy capacity with its speed – it’s a nippy 7,200rpm model.
The M15x is one seriously fast laptop. The Core i7-720QM’s default clockspeed of just 1.6GHz might not sound that quick on paper, but Intel’s Turbo Boost technology saves the day. Depending on how many of its four processing cores are in use, it’s capable of ramping up the processor as far as 2.8GHz.
The GTX 260M isn’t the fastest graphics chipset on the block – the pair of ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4870s in the Asus W90 leave it and its big brother, the GTX 280M, for dust – but with a Core i7 behind it, it’s still plenty fast enough for all but the most obsessive of gamers.
Alienware M15x comes equipped with Slot-load DVD+/-RW, a 6-cell battery pack, Wireless, a/b/g/ WiFi, Blu-ray (2x Dual Layer), Internal High-Definition Audio, LED backlighting, WXGA+ display and runs on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.
I bought this little net book because I was getting major shoulder pain from carrying my laptop on trips. I can put this Samsung in my purse and I hardly know it’s there. I wish it had an internal cd/dvd drive, but I found one that weighs one pound, so I can manage. I also use this netbook at home. It is so easy to have in my lap while I watch t.v. and check my emails at the same time. The hardware and software that come with it seem to be great. I would recommend this. The price is right too.
I adore your weblog very much. Will bookmark. Keep up to briliant writing on it. Thanks
