Two USB 3.0 ports are a very welcome feature, allowing me to use an external hard disk to run VM’s from without contending my internal hard disks.Īll in all I am very pleased with the Alienware m17x R3, although it is on the heavy side when it comes to commuting with the laptop in my bag. HDMI In support allows you to plug your PlayStation 3 or XBOX 360 in and use the built-in HD display of the laptop to play your console games. although I havn’t tried this feature yet I’m sure it is a handy for Gamers.

The laptop also has a built-in WiHD transmitter, which I am told will wirelessly transmit HD video to a WiHD ready TV or receiver.


The graphics output options are pretty impressive for a laptop, having HDMI Out, VGA 15 pin D-sub out and a Mini Display port out offer plenty of flexibility when outputting those PowerPoint presentations, or of course for playing your games on a larger display. A digital audio out is also handy for connecting my 7.1 surround sound system with just one cable. It does however have 2 headphone ports for gaming headsets, and allows the gamer to fade between game sounds and player chat through Ventrilo or teamspeak. The sound quality from the Klipsch speakers is quite impressive for a laptop, although I would have preferred a bit more bass. It’s a shame it gets used more for work and running virtual servers in a development environment then to play games… I have obviously tested it with a few games though, which it handles admirably. It’s really is an amazing machine considering it’s portability.

What an awsome machine it is!!!
