Alienware Area-51 m9750 Gaming Notebook Review

Alienware prides itself on producing gaming PCs and notebooks for the masses and based on previous efforts, we know it does a pretty darn good job. Inevitably, a fully loaded Alienware system is going to cost the proverbial arm and leg, but it’s still always going to be more affordable than truly custom boutique suppliers of true exotica such as Vadim. After all, this is a company owned by Dell.

Good news then that Alienware has launched a new top-of-the-range gaming notebook. Coming under the Area-51 umbrella, our sample m9750 features an Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 running at 2.33GHz, combined with nVidia SLI graphics… you’re not just getting one GeForce Go 9750 GTX in this notebook, you’re getting two. Along with this you’re getting two hard disks, which can be set up in RAID 0 or 1 configuration offering either 250GB of secure storage of 500GB of ultra fast storage. You also get a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution display, which is quite something on a 17in display - you won’t see this resolution on anything smaller than a 23in external monitor.

..Alienware has done its reputation no harm with this wonderfully designed and great looking beast of a machine. Two cores in the CPU, two GeForce 7950 GTX GPUs and two hard disks, along with a TV Tuner, 7.1 output and decent speakers, make it a superb entertainment machine. Sure you can build a faster desktop for less, but for ultimate portable power this Alienware is on another planet.
