"performance issues still unresolved, they don't care!"
Pros: the STATS sound GREAT and you expect a killer machine, but the truth is I am not impressed with the 3DMARKS scores nor the performance of the general O/S and applications!
Cons: HORRIBLE Technical support. You get a new reason/suggestion each time you call. Nothing is consistent. Their "ON-SITE" support really doesn't stand true since they ask you to send your machine in for pretty much anything that needs to be fixed.
Summary: Their repair department is incompetent. They... read more

"Very serious hardware drawbacks. Please read summary."
Pros: Appealing case design, the ability to include a quad core processor, optional HD screen, fast system performace (with dual core processor).
Cons: Poor performance (with quadcore). Once the northbridge heats up under load, all of that quadcore performance disappears. Alienware attempted to solve the problem with a BIOS release that undervolted the CPU, thereby causing even more instability.
Summary: I'm writing this review with the intent of it... read more

"Best laptop / desktop replacement I've owned."
Pros: Q9000 Quadcore chip, dual ATI graphics cards, two 250Bb 7200RPM HDD's in RAID '0' and 3Gb of memory deal with anything you throw at it.Yea, it's big and it's heavy but it's nowhere near as big and heavy as my desktop. For the $, the best out there.
Cons: The power brick sucks...never seen anything like it; weighs more than the system. I usually build these things so haven't had to deal with Dell's service dept yet. I have had to in the past and I feel bout them the way I do about the brick.
Summary: Q9000 Quadcore chip, dual ATI graphics cards,... read more

Cons: Lots of things I don't like about the M17, one Alienwares tech support is BAD, The M17 has nothing but issues. Could have gotten an OCZ cheaper and its the same laptop hardware wise. Unable to play games/movies video is jerky sound gets very choppy.
Summary: Bottom line is DON'T waste your money get a d... read more

Pros: Amazing amount of value in a small package, I have mine fully loaded, 2 ssd's in raid 0, crossfire video card, with all the options. Competitive price spec wise vs competetors
Cons: Everything. Constant crashes, jittery performance even with moderate settings in games. CSR's don't even speak english half the time. Lemons.
Summary: My display driver crashes and is corrupted ev... read more
