Alienware Redefines Performance and Design with Powerful New Area-51 m15x 15.4-inch Notebook
PC-Maker Wonders If the World is Ready for the Intimidating Ingenuity and Onslaught of Awesomeness Surrounding the Area-51 m15x

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--When it comes to mobile performance, Alienware® – the leading manufacturer of high-performance desktop, notebook and entertainment systems – is blazing new frontiers. The company introduces the Area-51® m15x, a revolutionary addition to the 15.4-inch notebook class and a fitting addition to Alienware's award-winning systems. Available with a range of Intel® Core(TM) 2 Duo or Core 2 Extreme mobile processors and loaded with the world's fastest notebook GPU, the NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800M GTX, every detail of the Area-51 m15x was scrutinized for improved performance and usability, from the motherboard all the way down to the port trimmings.

"Alienware always sets the bar almost impossibly high, but the new Area-51 m15x not only lives up to the elite tradition of past Alienware notebooks, it establishes a new performance standard that demands the attention of everyone from hardcore gamers and 3D content creators to students and professionals on the go," said Frank Azor, Executive Vice-President for Alienware's Product and Marketing Groups. "A mix of unparalleled speed, stunning graphics precision and exclusive customization features will be the lasting impact of Alienware's most impressive, most unstoppable and sexiest mobile system yet."

The Area-51 m15x dominates the competition by featuring:

Intel Core 2 Extreme mobile processor power, enabling users to run the latest games and power-hungry applications like post-production video software and music encoding programs at full speed for optimum productivity.
Cutting-edge graphics delivered by an NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX GPU, fully primed for the new wave of DirectX® 10-fueled games.
Alienware's BinaryGFX technology, which provides the flexibility of switching between integrated and high-performance graphics cards.
Advanced user controls through the Alienware Command Center, including the AlienFX® lighting and the AlienFusion power management system.
Smart Bay technology giving users on-the-fly customization capabilities with a hot-swappable optical drive, second hard drive and backup battery.
"The advanced speed and energy efficiency of our entire line of Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme mobile processors are perfectly suited for the varied needs of Area-51 m15x users," said Erik Reid, Director of Marketing, Mobile Platforms Group for Intel. "Owners of Alienware's latest notebook have the confidence of knowing they can rely on awesome application speed in addition to smarter battery performance and the other advantages that come from the Intel Core microarchitecture."

"With NVIDIA's most powerful notebook GPU, the GeForce 8800M GTX, Alienware has unleashed a new generation of high-performance notebooks that blow away most desktop PCs," said Rene Haas, general manager of the notebook GPU business at NVIDIA. "With these elite machines, Alienware customers will get an absolutely astounding visual experience with the new era of DirectX 10 games, high-definition movies, and Windows Vista applications, whether at home or on the road."

Unless you're over 60 years old, 15.4" WUXGA isn't hard to read. Now that 1080p is becoming more commonplace, you need UXGA to take advantage. Dell used to offer them years ago on the Inspiron line.

You will get used to the fine print after a while. lol

heck im 23 and its hard to read on a 15.4 especially on webpages...
post #14 of 19
Would love to do a blind test with a game (with no text or dialog) and a Blu-Ray movie on the 15.4 at 1920x1200 vs another one at 1440x900 to see how many of us can pick the difference.


(Did ya get that, Alienware? Just send me one of each, please).
post #15 of 19
movies wouldnt be bad on the 1900 or 1440 but text like on webpages would be a pain...
post #16 of 19
Sometimes I have to switch back to standard 1280x800 res just so my eyes can rest from being strained by the 1920x1200 res. It's a pain switching back and forth. I'll probably stick with stock 1440x900 on the next lappy. And I also miss the vibrant colors of the glossy screen.
post #17 of 19
Lower res will let your graphics card produce better looking results as well.
post #18 of 19
It will be 1440 x 900 for me!
