You are browsing within the review sections of our forums. Content within these sections reflect consumer opinions of laptops. Our admins take the best and most objective laptop reviews and index them here to create a distinct selection of quality reviews with averaged overall ratings. Many of these reviews have benchmarks attached to them which allows for users to compare their laptop's performance with others, and ultimately enables us to provide a sortable list which at a glance show the fastest laptops amongst a variety of applications (gaming, video editing, web browsing, etc...). Help us build a better laptop database by submitting your laptop review.

Artzilla03's Alienware Area-51m Sentia 244 Review

I was making lunch when the door bell ringed. The estimated shipping day was still to come, so my intentions were that it was UPS, bringing an item i bought on ebay. I opened the door, glanced at the man, and then looked past him at another man brnging a black colored box towards my house; i knew what it was.


I broght it to my room, and rapidly opened the system, but I came to a sudden stop, as the Alienware eyes mezmerized me. I stood there, not blinking, and knew that this day was a glorious one already. I put up my system, with the extra primary battery and ac adapter i recieved free, on my desk. I opened the notebook as if i was on the threshold of excitement.

Then it hit me: i had to call alienware for a problem i may recieve when i get my system.

I called. The nice man named gary waited patiently as i looked for my account number. I am not used to such good technical support: my older laptop was a compaq. I found it in the trademarked three ring binder i almost had doubts i would recieve. We went through, and it turned out i had nothing wrong with my system.

After the call, i went through the usually XP proffesional start screens. I past those, and installed all updates for my system; didnt take five minutes. I istalled my firewall and antivirus with such speed te install finished by the time i came back from the kitchen for the glass of water i needed. My games work even better than my older notebook, despite the graphics card.

Totally:
This machine is exaclty how i wanted it and more. This suits me, and i am waiting for my school year to start. From the awsome case to how smothly this system runs, i knew i picked something awsome, and that i recieveed what i paid for and more.

Pros:
1. one of the best laptops i have seen, and the performance cannot be measured in a few pros.

Cons: Accessories (even if they were free) were packaged as if they were thrown in, with the protective coverings seperate from the accessories

What a day this is going to be, and what years the next few years will be: I think i have just become a proud owner of the Alienware Area-51 Sentia, and may my days be pleasant.
