Alienware M18x Laptop Review (with i7-2960XM Extreme Edition)

F.E.A.R. 3 includes features such as “co-op, an evolved cover system, and more scares”, according to Day 1 Studios founder and president Denny Thorley. In the game, the players control either Point Man or Paxton Fettel, the protagonist and antagonist, respectively, from the first game, F.E.A.R.. The control system for the Point Man is the same as the previous two games, giving the player a command list typical of most first person shooter games (the ability to fire weapons, throw grenades, melee, activate/use items etc), as well as the ability to slow time. As Fettel, the player assists the Point Man by using telekinesis, stun, possession, a melee attack unique to Fettel and other abilities. In addition to these abilities, the player also has full access to the abilities of any character Fettel possesses. Both characters have the ability to access and control enemy technology (such as mech suits).

F.E.A.R. 3 is another fun third person shooter which can be demanding of the graphics hardware. No problems for the dual Nvidia 560m's in SLI, averaging over 40 frames per second at the native resolution of the screen.

  1. That really is insane. the price makes my wallet cry however
    🙁

  2. That is an incredible computer, kind of a dream machien for most people. Also that CPU is amazing, its like a desktop chip in a mobile package.

  3. The 2960 extreme edition is breaking new groud, especially for mobile systems. problem is the price, its a hell of a lot more than the closest CPU which is only moderately slower (until its overclocked anyway).

  4. The red is much nicer than the boring black IMO. the bare bones system isn’t a bad price, do you get the same panel for the entry level priced model?

  5. How did you update the driver? my m17x says it isnt a supported device on the Nvidia site? ill have to try again with that driver you used.

  6. This is a great laptop system, I have the m17x and love it, but im sorry I didnt buy the 18 🙁 id love dual 560m

  7. They cost so much money, but they make a statement. I dont think this machine could be carried about however it is far too big and heavy. almost 6kg? ouch!

  8. The appearance is spectacular, the black one looks so dull. Its interesting to see they dont charge more for the red in this range, but the lower specification machines it costs £10 extra.

    They should make some with specialised Alienware skins, like they allow for on the inspiron 17 inch range, but make them all alien based transfers for the lid.

  9. I would not pay this much money just to get so little in return. But i’m not reach and i don’t need/like laptops, if i were all that i guess i’d take it. As stands i can make a desktop that outperforms that laptop with $1k.

  10. Sure, I think we all could, but its missing the point. its a laptop, and it looks pretty nice to me, with a very impressive screen.
