Yang:

I really enjoyed seeing your entry. I am on the cusp of buying an Alienware - Area 51 5750 and am in the process of deciding. I need some reassurance that the model and manufacturer are solid. See, I am in Calgary, Canada, and if there are issues, it will be difficult, to say the least, to ship this back and forth. Any thoughts. Specifically, the model and features that I have found to be of most interest are:

If im pushing 100-120fps, and ur at 55fps, something is wrong

monitor ur damn thread yang we want pictures and answers!!!

lol...gotta give the guy a break...he's introducing the g/f to the parents in Atlanta this weekend

Yeah, we got to see him a whole hour!

Fine... post snaps of the parents/G.F meeting
Just post the snaps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s If I sound rather excited, that's probably because my order is in phase 10

(Lots) pics of 2 AW laptops side by side for comparison

ODM for em both...model #???

Nice pics, Yang. It's a sweet set up and I really like how it's a pro at multitasking. Have you done any video editing on it?
Is this just a thread for pictures, or do you have a separate, more detailed review?

Oh btw....
Nice shot of Megatron/Transformers playing in WMP! Do you have any pics of the TV tuner?

Yeah, Alameda is probably half an out from Alamo (my hometown), but uh, I'm in LA right now attending college....

I just had a couple more questions: Does the m5750 have a built in mic? Also have you done any follow-up battery tests to test the maximum time you could get out of it?

It does have a built in mic, the max time I got out of mine was always around 2 hours but that was just basic word processing.

Thanks Yang and lilYang!

This is really tempting me................

wow! How did you get this score? I guess my lack of knowledge in tuning the system doesnot allow me to get over 5300! Sucks!!!

haha... yea, so far so good ... Guess this makes me want to push it to its limits, but I guess I should just stick to what I have at the moment. Experiencing any other disappointments that might happen after tweaking it would totally kill me ...
