When Alienware introduced the Area-51 m15x we were obviously keen to check it out, while remaining skeptical at the same time. Like past Alienware products the Area-51 m15x specifications are impressive, really impressive, making us even more eager to see how it performs.


Crysis is a game known to bring high-end desktop computers to their knees, so we were not expecting much from the Area-51 m15x, and well, we didn’t get much! At the native resolution of 1920x1200 the Area-51 m15x rendered just 17fps, while the E7200/9600 GT test system was only slightly faster averaging 20fps.


Overall the Alienware Area-51 m15x is a good gaming notebook, and for those wanting the most compact gaming solution possible, it’s probably one of the best out there. But as we have mentioned, the Area-51 m15x is far from perfect, and while it manages to cram a lot of powerful hardware into a limited space, it does nothing to correct the numerous issues that plague gaming notebooks.
