"I got the m17 The first alienware i bought and love it"

"I have been an avid gamer for some time. I have always liked the Alienware concept and found myself inexplicably drawn to anything that involve aliens, Elvis, or Las Vegas. In addition, Alienware computers are assembled here in South Florida.

My laptop was shipped prior to the estimated ship date and arrived in perfect condition. I purchased an Alienware M17 and am extremely pleased with the build quality, looks, and performance of this laptop. In addition, the packaging and accessories were all very nicely designed and constructed out of high quality materials.

This was one of the few laptops that I could find that actually had a Blu-Ray drive and I am very impressed with the quality of the playback.

In terms of game performance, the two ATI video cards, working in conjunction, crank out some pretty decent gaming performance, for a laptop anyway. I have found Crysis, Half-Life 2, and Left 4 Dead, all to be very playable.

The screen is 1920 x 1200 and sports Clearview Technology. The screen is very bright and lighting is consistent.

The laptop appears to be fairly easy to upgrade. All in all, I would say that Alienware has exceeded my expectations and built an excellent machine.

The only thing is that I wish I could have afforded that quad-core processor..."

"I got the M-17 and I am very pleased with the choice, it will play any game I put in it! Stalker- as fast as you want to play it it does it with out a single freeze. My desktop wont do that and it is just a solid peice of work yea its HUGE but I take it on a plane with me with no trouble,
its the best pc I have ever had and I have had a few, I will have to say I am very Glad I picked Alienware for my PC.
check out the vids on Youtube youl be glad you buy this one!"

"I would like to say first and fore most the unprecedented craftsmanship and quality that goes into building one of these custom machines and the care and packaging it is delivered in. I was shocked to see how well everything was packed and supported from being damaged. But besides the packaging, the machine in itself is an amazing feat of technology. It run's amazingly and has made my PC experience unlike any other. The customizations you can choose with your machine is limitless, whether you want a casual PC or an extreme gaming rig, Alienware has what you want and they know how to build it and do it right! My only complaint is that I didn't order this PC sooner, it is everything I expected and so much more. Thank you Alienware for building me a custom machine that sets benchmarks other companies strive to even get close to.

"I purchased an aurora5 and it came in as orderd, works great and is as fast as I thought it would be !!! BLAZZING internet and high end arcade hungry hungry WOW!!! "

"If you are in the market for a desktop computer (never had one of their laptops, so I dunno), this is the only place to consider. Cutting edge hardware for less than it would cost to build your own comparable system, with none of the headaches. The website did a good job of keeping me up to date on the order status, I never lacked for information. The computer arrived in excellent condition ahead of the estimated arrival time. Fit & finish are top notch, everything is nice and neat inside the case. Customer service is excellent. Easy to select the desired hard/software & accessories on the website. My only complaint is that Vista SP1 is the only OS offered. I would have preferred XP. Have bought before, will buy again. Definitely recommend. A++"

"Purchased my Area 51 750i via phone and had it in about 10 days. The desktop was in great condition and featured great packaging. Everything has worked without flaw from the leather bound owners manual to the beautiful paint finish, Alienware has exceeded my expectations. Wonderful to be able to play games with the settings turned up again!!! "

"I tried Alienware for the first time. I ordered a M17 laptop online. Ordering was easy and neat. After the order was submitted, I decided on a change and called in. The customer consultant was friendly and made the change simple. My laptop arrived and was everything I expected and more! I am a confirmed Alienware fan now. Thanks!"

"great computer and great service - totally pleased"

"This is the best product i have ever purchased in my life. Not only is the computer insanely quick and sleek, but the packaging was optimal. The packaging was covered in Alienware logos and the computer parts were very well protected. If you are looking to buy a computer, please purchase an alienware. Alienware is the best choice and the best product i have ever purchased and i couldn't be more complacent with its performance."

"My M17 gaming laptop arrived in excellent condition with all of the options I had requested. Having done research prior to ordering, I was expecting an excellent product that would live up to my expectations and that is what I received. Having had no problems, I cannot offer any opinion of the Alienware support, two years of which I purchased. I hope I never need it!"

"I purchased an Alienware Desktop for home use. I have to say the system work very well and does nto struggle at all with multiple applications running at the same time. I have not pushed it graphically yet... but i intend to! This system can handle it and i am quite pleased. The order arrived earlier than expected and i purchased a video card which may have delayed the delivery. It didn't!

Thank you Alienware for this solid machine."

"This review is for the m15x.I am completely satisfied with my experience with Alienware. The customer service was exceptional and I have to say, I am very pleased with my system. This laptop is great for gaming. There is only one down side the battery only last one hour and thirty minutes."
