Alienware M11X with Core i7... should I get this?
#256835 - 06/08/11 04:02 PM


Sorry if I'm bugging you guys here, but I'm think about getting this thing for my birthday in August, if my parents ever make good money.

Is this laptop good for playing all Model 3 games, and possibly Hikaru (if THAT hardware ever gets emulated)? But Hikaru is a little complicated, and is very powerful, so emulation for that can be unlikely. I know that Supermodel is relying more on the GPU, rather than the CPU, though.

This is something that I'd like to take on the bus with me everyday, if the driver lets me use it for gaming.

The Intel Core i7 version can run at like 1.5 GHz, but I know speed can be improved up to 2.6 GHz. The video card is also decent, it's an NVIDIA GeForce. So, is this laptop worth the buy to play M3 and other powerful games?

Are you trying to be mean to me or something? And I'm not trying to troll you guys, because I care about what I do on the internet.

Eh, it's a laptop? I'd rather have you get something better than Alienware.

I do hear that Alienware can be a rip-off. I also hear that the laptops' parts are glued, so they can break off easily, am I right?

For the same price you'd pay for an Alienware laptop, you could get any number of equal or better systems for less money.
