Dell Alienware series ushered in the most recent comprehensive hardware replacement
to the mainstream size M14x M18x from the maximum size to the small head of the M11x is. With the bombardment of new products, the characteristics of this series has a broad user base know the shape of the domineering, powerful performance, cool extreme body lights even the price of that people raspberry .
The size and configuration of the M17x this today after the M18x, internal hardware, the main difference will M18x dual-card SLI combination into a single graphics card. Even a single GTX675M also called the top of the mobile platform with significant independence, this M17x M18x price ratio alone significantly cheaper and nearly million. Most entry-level with GT660M the M17x from 18,999 yuan, we get the M17xs hardware calculated the price of 24,545 yuan, GTX675M SLi M18x is about 32,917 yuan.

To tell the truth, M18x notebook is not the general public can afford to consume it more meaning, not bad money for those fanatical enthusiasts and students. The M17xs appearance is essentially the same appearance, the prices in some discount to increase the possibility of consumption of populations of concern. However, up to 2 million yuan price of somewhat sadly, let go and see this code R4 new Pingsha worth so much money?
Alienware M17x Nebula red and stealth black in two colors, enough to highlight the users personal style. The same price as two colors can be chosen at random. We get is the nebulas red color, bright red appearance with black interior, insolent, and restrained the two colors and feelings in no way conflict together. Anodized aluminum make it as a notebook shell material has a strong corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity. Shell on top of this layer there are fine, such as matte painting, feels a small fraction of the original color and feel of the metal, but feel more warm and comfortable.
Alienware M17x domineering internal hardware configuration, and its design is very outstanding. Two lantern shape of the front of the fuselage like a sports car appearance domineering leaking in the boot after the lamp will be lit, extremely cool. Two fans in order to allow the rear mouth smooth cooling M17x screen is still the most traditional of the shaft.
The bottom of the computer still is that most can stimulate the cells of gamers personalized custom laser-etched metal nameplates, where you can enjoy a completely personalized laser lettering, marked with a mark for the love machine. In addition you can also see the two exaggerated suction type hollow filter window.
M17x the most prominent feature is the shape of domineering body to use the material luxury. The biggest problem is full of materials and strengthen the heat to cause the body weight of up to 4.495kg, the thickness of the fuselage close to the diameter of the two-dollar coins. (Note: The coin diameter 25mm) so the weight is really hard to say what portable, its weight will be lighter than desktop confidential handling slightly.
The M17x comes standard with a 19201080 resolution LED-backlit display, if you want the same resolution displays of the WLED LCD w/3D Bundle, you need to spend more than 1875 yuan. Whether it is worthwhile to also look at the users own needs.
dell inspiron 1464 batteryAlienware M17x traditional keyboard, excellent feel and comfort of the key process are already well known, here we are no longer La La weave to give you about again. The new R4 in the keyboard layout, the materials feel exactly the same as the previous generation.
Generally speaking, the price is more expensive products will have some distinguishing features, characteristics of the Alienware M17x in addition to the excellent keyboard design, full-featured multimedia shortcut keys, there is a cool part AlienFX lighting systems.
AlienFX system lighting technology can provide a range of topics, as well as up to 512 trillion kinds of unique combination of lighting, you can choose, mix and match. The theme of the event corresponding to the custom, select the game you can on your system, with unique lighting effects.
The M17xs software platform is divided into eight regions, which include not only located above the keyboard of AlienwareLogo bottom of the screen Alienware, shortcut keys, touchpad mouse, but also the keyboard area is divided into four parts. These obvious color of the light not only make the product cool, the area that lets the user can be easily distinguished in a tense game keyboard game play.
Sometimes body huge is not entirely a bad thing, embodied in a notebook body is most vividly about the interface thing. The body is too thin, and some interfaces must be made to mini type body is too small, some interfaces did not dare up loaded. The M17x is a typical positive example is because the large size of the body can be extremely broad side, what interfaces are available in the past upload.
Its power connector is the rear of the fuselage, the other interface breakdown on both sides of the fuselage, including 4xUSB3.0, 1xUSB2.0/e-SATA, VGA, miniDP, RJ45, built-in separate audio chip also supports the four groups of professional-level audio input and output holes. In addition, it also has two HDMI ports, one HDMI in, an HDMI out, which means that it not only supports high-definition extroverted, can receive HD signals the same as one monitor.
Then we took out almost all of the interface to detect the interface spacing is reasonable, the M17xs performance is also very good, the interface does not appear crowded incompatible. To see so many connections can be inserted in the body is indeed very shocking. Also to mention, it comes standard with a double-layer DVD burner, if you need Blu-ray matching users to the official website.
Alienware M17x battery is 90Wh High capacity battery, this specification is extremely rare, is regrettable that the machines hardware power consumption is too high, the screen is too large, so that even the powerful 8-cell battery is only to adhere to 214 minutes, equivalent to 3 hours 34 minutes.
Heat test: the furmark would the whole of the two hot parts CPU and graphics card the whole operation up and running after 30 minutes the temperature at the meeting to an extreme height, although we use a thermal analyzer for temperature detection (temperature range is less than 28 C- 50 C)
The configuration of this notebook has a lot of bright spots, the two highlights: the mobile platform is now currently the most powerful Intel Core i7 3820QM processor (2.7GHz/3.70GHz 8MB cache quad-core, 8 threads); two has been published strongest move alone significantly NVIDIA Geforce GTX 675M (2GB GDDR5 graphics). The two strongest combination of hardware how the strong performance of it?
lenovo 42T4930Core i7 3820QM processor is the strongest one mobile products, multi-core CINEBENCH gained 24165 points is also expected, the results are beyond the i7-3610QM about 2000 or so.
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 675M has 32 ROPs, 384 stream processors, with a 256bit bit wide. 3Dmark06 score of the test run in the default 12801024 resolution 22075, this achievement is very alarming, because the dual graphics M18x score is also very close. In other words, a new generation of top-level graphics and be able to reach the performance level of the previous generation dual-card.
Then we continue to use the the 3Dmark 11/Vantage test again, part of the 3DMark Vantage GPU score over 24,400 points, while the DX11-based 3Dmark11 is a breakthrough in the P3500. Overall the top level of the current notebook.
Alienware M17x hard drive you can choose a variety of this to get an intel Raid 0 set up a 2TB hard drive, although only 5400 speed, but can rely on the Raid combination of advantages to the average read and write speeds are 115MB / s .
What is RAID 0
RAID 0, also known as Stripe Striping, it represents the highest storage performance of all RAID levels. RAID 0 to improve storage performance continuous data access across multiple disks, so that the system is the implementation of the request for data on multiple disks in parallel, each disk performs its own part of the data request. Parallel operations on this data can take advantage of the bus bandwidth, and significantly improve overall disk access performance.
PCMark Vantage can measure all types of PCs overall performance. From multimedia home entertainment system to the notebook, from professional workstations to high-end gaming platform, whether it is in the hands of the professionals, or belonging to the ordinary user, can be a thorough understanding of PCMark Vantage, which maximize performance.
Chronicles predecessor, the PCMark 7 but is also a PC system integrated performance analysis of the test suite, but this operating system is Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Vista / XP completely eliminated. PCMark 7 contains seven different testing session a total of 25 independent workloads, covering storage, computing, image and video processing, all aspects of daily web browsing, games and other PC applications
SYSMark2007 Preview hardware performance evaluation tool consists of four groups of test scenarios: E-learning (electronic learning), Office Productivity (office productivity) Video Creation (image creation), and 3D Modeling (3D modeling).
The number of frames is transmitted in seconds the amount of pictures can also be understood as the graphics processor per second to refresh a few times. When the object is removed, the optic nerve on the impression of an object does not disappear immediately, and continue about 1/24 seconds, the human eye of this nature is called the eyes persistence of vision. Theory means that, regardless of your game frame rate how high, 60 or 120, and finally we are only able to distinguish between the 24 or so only. But if the actual game screen 24, the visual experience and will not be smooth.
The frames of the game is to reflect the standard of the game is running smoothly, most cases can be so classified, a slide level: 20; 2, playability is very low: the number of frames 20-30; 3, you can accept: frames 30-50; run smoothly: the number of frames 50-60; perfect run: number of frames is greater than or equal to 60. 60 significance means that the number of frames is greater than under normal circumstances is not, then you can increase the game quality to get a better visual effect.
CAPCOM is responsible for the development of fighting game Street Fighter (Street Fighter 4) using the latest 3D graphics technology, a more beautiful way to reproduce the original unique 2D drawing style. The game can be described as the DX9.0C the pinnacle of graphics cards DX9 performance is very suitable to measure.
Current DX9 games are rarely able to add to the game of the obstacles, this Street Fighter is still open all the special effects, including anti-aliasing and other properties, higher performance of the full number of frames. So this time we closed the vertical sync, making the frames can break 60FPS, the final results reached 217FPS. Can not help but sense that almost kill a chicken Yanyong chopper.
Resident Evil series is a very popular shooting game, in the lighting effects in DX10 games representative. We still remain in the 19201080 resolution, the test results is still very alarming 118FPS. The look must be some very eat the hardware game.
The resolution of the game changed to the best, then we see that even powerful exception M17x finally has been no small challenge, the final test the results 39.1FPS, the visual effect has been very smooth, if the resolution is slightly lowered, this achievement can be increased to more than 50FPS.
Modern warfare Modern Warfare 2 sequel, this will be revealed the whereabouts and secret of the Modern Warfare series protagonist.

ThinkPad Edge E420s BatteryCrysis 2 Crysis orthodox sequel, the game uses an upgraded version of the generation engine CryENGINE 3 produced in the the HARDER quality, 1920 1080 maximum support resolution, four times the anti-aliasing open vertical sync, Dell Alienware M17x is still very eye-catching performance.
Dust the same with F1 2010 Ego engine, with a more realistic weather system and picture effect, the game contains a snow scene, dynamic weather, YouTube uploading, classic cars, split-screen battle, party mode, opening up the world , more sponsors and drivers and so on in the real world. 1920 1080 resolution, the Open four times anti-aliasing, global ULTRA quality, the Dell Alienware M17x can be perfectly competent.
