Alienware 18 Gaming Notebook Review (with Intel Core i7 4930MX)

SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software.

Sandra is a (girl’s) name of Greek origin that means “defender”, “helper of mankind”. We think that’s quite fitting.

It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what’s really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe (PCI Express), database, USB, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.

  1. It is a crazy amount of cash. Good systems, but they do charge over the odds-0 like Apple.

  2. I have an old Alienware desktop and it has lasted a long time, only problem is that some of their parts can’t be replaced easily due to some weird cabling. I can’t see many people spending so much cash on a high end laptop in todays economic climate, but if they can, im jealous!
