Alienware Area 51 m15x Review - PC World
PC World have published a review of the Alienware Area 51 m15x gaming laptop. 'As a high-performance portable, the m15x packs the costliest gear. Inside, Intel's 2.8-GHz Core 2 Extreme runs the show, 4GB of DDR2 RAM makes sure everything operates smoothly, and the 200GB hard disk (as well as a 320GB removable drive) offers room to grow. However, the nVidia 8800M GTX GPU humming under the hood is what ensures that you'll enjoy decent frame rates at the machine's native 1920 by 1200 resolution. Scoring well on our benchmark is great, of course, but the real challenge for a gaming laptop is to see how it handles new, demanding games that tax even high-end desktop PCs. Running our gauntlet of tests at 1920 by 1200, the Area 51 m15x generated 46 frames per second (fps) in World in Conflict and 26 fps in Crysis.'
