Dell Alienware M15x gaming laptop

A laptop dedicated for die-hard fans of extreme gaming, the Dell Alienware M15x also known as the Area 51 M15x. It’s actually a revamp of the old Area 51 M15x laptop that first came out with the Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 2.8GHz (6MB Cache, 800MHz FSB) powering its system. This processor has a high potential as it made other gaming laptops appear to be as slow as a turtle. It also has the Dell turbo boost technology that enhances its processing unit. Currently, the Dell Alienware M15x comes with three processor options – the Intel® Core(TM) i3 mobile processor for laptops is the first level of Intel’s new processor family, followed by the Intel® Core(TM) i5 mobile processor model and the new Intel® Core(TM) i7 processor. The Intel® Core(TM) i7 is the latest and most powerful processor of all time, but the Intel® Core(TM) i5 is not going to lose a lot in processing prowess.

This Dell Alienware M15x laptop with Intel® Core(TM) i5 has two prototypes: the Intel® CoreTM i5 540M 2.53GHz (3.06GHz Turbo Mode, 3MB Cache) and the Intel® CoreTM i5 430M 2.26GHz (2.53GHz Turbo Mode, 3MB Cache). Both CPUs run on two cores, but could outrun other dual core processors, including its predecessors. That is why, even with the Intel® Core(TM) i5, this alienware laptop is considered unusually large and powerful in the gaming world and is poised to become one of the favorites of hardcore gamers with budgets not enough to acquire a similar laptop with the Intel® Core(TM) i7 in it.

The Intel® Core(TM) i5 processor on the Dell Alienware M15x feature: Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology. This system allows any Intel® Core(TM) i5 processor to run at a faster clock rate while doing tremendous processing tasks. The Dell Alienware M15x Intel® Core(TM) i5 version is available with a gamer-like chassis and there are three colors to choose from — Nebula Red, Cosmic Black and Lunar Shadow. It can store up to 250 GB of digital files and if storage is not enough, the laptop has a BD-ROM/DVD/-RW drive to burn files with. Its price of around $1,199 makes it more attractive.
