I ordered my Alienware 51m on 11.08 , Phase 9 as of 12-21-03. I recieved it as of yesterday, 12-23-03.
I have a few questions if anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it.
1. Are widescreen dvd's supposed to not fill the entire wide screen laptop I have? The reason I bought the wide-screen was to watch dvd's and so this seems like a waste.
2. My computer seems to lag from when I click an icon or link and when it actually processes the info...is this normal or should i just feel lucky?
3. What is the clearest resolution that this thing has? I can't tell the difference myself, but if anyone else can please let me know.
4. Are there any tweaks I need to do to optomize the performace of my laptop or is it as good as it's going to get as of when I opened the box?
Note: FedEx delivered my computer a half hour late in "wet" condition. i got a call from my younger brother..."umm, we got your computer but it seems to be damaged maybe, want me to open it and see"? I get home to find the box completely thrased and soaked and tormented in too many ways to describe here. However, the laptop seems to be undamaged because alienware really does take care when putting these things in the box...getting them to the point to go into the box...that's where they need some help (those slow bastards)
