Alienware M17x Dual-GPU Gaming Notebook Review
|
Posted on Monday, August 03 2009 @ 16:56:15 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck |
The M17x is Alienware's current flagship gaming notebook. It features an anodized aluminum shell that is available in a variety of colors, including silver, black, and red, and its 17" LCD sports a covering comprised of a shingle sheet of glass, that runs from edge-to-edge. The M17x also features 'BinaryGFX' technology which gives users have the ability to switch between discrete or integrated graphics and a 'Stealth Mode' in which the discrete graphics cards are turned off and other components throttle down to achieve a 65W power limit. We tested a high-end configuration, complete with an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300 processor, dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M GPUs, 8GB of RAM, and 1TB RAID 0 array, and it put up the best benchmarks scores we have seen from a notebook to date...

Sound = pretty unspectacular, gaming notebook without X-Fi?
Dual 280M is 3 years out of date, and DX11 is around the corner.
This notebook will be vastly better when upgraded to the mobile Nehalem chip and chipset and given 40nm mobile GPU's supporting DX11. Until then save your $$
