We actually took the m9750 with us to our family’s holiday celebration, and the reaction from our family members was priceless. They couldn’t believe a notebook could be this big and powerful. Everyone was impressed by its looks and its performance, including us. This is a seriously powerful notebook but it does have a few drawbacks. The first is that its cooling fans are almost always on, and they are noticeably loud. The second is the videocards are already a bit dated, though they were able to play Bioshock and CoD4, albeit at a low resolution. If you order an m9750 we highly recommend upgrading to the 8700M for maximum longevity. Third, we had issues with the webcam and system restore, which is disappointing. All-in-all we had a better-than-average experience with the m9750 though, and despite its flaws we would still put it near the top of our list of must-have desktop replacement notebooks.

Sibling Rivalry: Dell vs. Alienware
Bron: Tom's Guide EN→NL Archive.org version
The Alienware Area-51 m9750 leads the XPS M1730 in value by around 1% prior to overclocking, which then gives the XPS a victory of around 6%. With value leadership so close, we'd have to pick our system based on other criteria. Gaming is the biggest advantage for SLI-equipped notebooks, but our XPS M1730 results were mixed with a huge loss in F.E.A.R. and moderate wins in Oblivion. Application performance provides a more convincing argument for the higher-priced Dell notebook. If portability is a primary consideration, the XPS M1730's added weight might be a concern. The notebook itself weighs two pounds more, and the power brick is also a pound heavier than the one included with Alienware's Area-51 m9750. Part of its extra weight goes into the 11% higher-capacity battery, but we have to wonder how much the show lighting and support circuitry added.

Alienware - Area-51 m9750 review
Bron: IT Reviews EN→NL Archive.org version
You don't have to be a sci-fi fan to be an admirer of Alienware's computers but there's no denying their otherworldly designs make the hairs rise on the back of your neck when you take the machines out the box.
The Area-51 m9750 is the Alien Queen of notebooks: black, striking, immensely powerful and bristling with unexpected weapons, er, features. For a start the colour is described as Stealth Black, a matt finish that cleverly resists leaving the mark of your fingerprints after you've touched it. The lid follows tradition with raised ‘ribs' pointing towards the trademark ET head that glows blue when switched on and the entire case features magnesium alloy which is 75 percent lighter than steel and more rigid than plastic. Unfortunately every Alien Queen has an acid side and m9750's is the layout.

Its giant dimensions seem like overkill: the Alienware Area-51 m9750 is a 17in laptop yet it is more than 20mm deeper than the 17in Samsung M60 we recently tested and, at 5.4kg, is more than 2kg heavier than the M60. The Alienware, then, is a laptop designed for static use, rather than being carted about from place to place. Its ridged, all black casing is certainly durable, but the brutish Alienware Area-51 m9750 doesn't look all that attractive, particularly when set alongside similarly sized laptops. When it comes to its main selling point – entertainment – the Alienware Area-51 m9750 is hard to fault. The large speakers with subwoofers at the front produce full and booming surround sound, while Alienware has crammed in a multi-format drive that includes DVD-RAM (useful for archiving video you've edited), a TV tuner and 1.3Mp webcam.

Drop the Warhammer! Alienware has gone crazy with its latest flagship laptop. Without a doubt the most powerful Windows Vista-based laptop on the market, the manufacturer of choice for speed freaks has achieved another industry first with the Area-51 m9750 (starting at £1148). The breakthrough offering is the first 17-inch laptop to fuse the astounding graphics capabilities of dual 512MB nVidia GeForce Go 7950 GTX graphics cards and the blazing speed of Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processors, making it a dream system for mobile gamers and design professionals. The unprecedented combination of dual GeForce Go 7950 GTX graphics and Core 2 Duo mobile processors at the heart of Alienware’s Area-51 m9750 epitomises the power and innovation that encompasses the entire system.

Two Mid-Level Gaming Notebooks Compared
Bron: Tom's Guide EN→NL Archive.org version
The Alienware Area-51 m9750 and Eurocom M570RU Divine-X provided similar performance value, with the more expensive Alienware system providing an overall performance gain almost equal to its price premium. The Area-51 m9750 is easily the better value for people who only want to game and can afford its higher price, while the M570RU Divine-X is the better value for general purpose users who can live with a little less gaming power. One thing we didn't graph was battery life, as the Alienware was tested using Mobile Mark's DVD playback, while the Eurocom was tested using a DVD playback test developed internally. The difference between these tests could be as much as a few percent, but both systems will apparently play a DVD for just under 1.5 hours using the battery. The Alienware system's larger battery is able to keep it going this long because the cards are both in power-saving 2D mode.

Well, I didn’t think it was possible for Alienware to step it up so much with the Area-51 m9750. There wasn’t one single instance where it didn’t completely beat the snot out of its predecessor, the Aurora m9700. All I can say is if I were a consumer who bought the m9700, I’d be pretty pissed after reading this review. Had I been using a USB keyboard instead of the integrated one, I really might have thought I was using a nice desktop gaming rig. The system performance speaks for itself; the inclusion of the Core 2 Duo CPU was a very welcome one, and the 7950GTX SLI GPUs show why they’re the king of the hill of mobile graphics world. There’s really little to fault the m9750 for. I didn’t want to send it back. I think that the level of performance I’ve seen with the Area-51 m9750 warrants the coveted Laptop Logic “Editor’s Choice” award, which is sparingly used around here.

Alienware Area-51 m9750 Laptop Review
Bron: notebookforums.com EN→NL Archive.org version
Alienware’s reputation precedes the market when it comes to notebooks and gaming. They have a history of offering top of the line gaming rigs, that look great and offer customization to any customer needs. The new Alienware Area-51m 9750 plunges head first into the HD market as to one of the first laptops that offer an optional blu-ray drive for early adopters, while still providing gamers with dual graphic cards with SLI support. This is one mean machine. Like my Alienware m5750, the m9750 is a step between a midsized laptop and a “desktop replacement”. With the unprecedented versatility of the Intel Core 2 Duo Chip, dueling nVidia video cards with SLI enabled and an HD 17 inch screen, there is very little this notebook cannot achieve when it comes to gaming.

One word can describe the Alienware Area-51 m9750: big. It's as if the person designing it thought they were in Burger King and decided to Go Large at every opportunity. It's got two hard drives, two graphics cards, two processor cores and a whopping 17in screen. There's another thing that's big about the m9750 - its price. There's no skirting around the subject - £2,491 is a lot of money to pay for a laptop, no matter how you look at it. If you strip it back to its barest elements it can be yours for £1,197 but you'll have to pare down the specifications to just one hard drive and graphics card and lower the screen resolution, among other things. There is no denying that Alienware has thrown a huge amount of technology into the m9750. Its 17in screen runs at an HD friendly WUXGA resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels.

Alienware has long been the first name in big-budget gaming rigs, straddling the line between the mainstream and enthusiast markets with flashy ads, high-end components, and just enough hand-holding for novices. We first laid eyes on the company's flagship laptop, the Area-51 m9750, at CES 2007 back in January and came away impressed with its array of high-end components. Its huge, high-resolution display, twin SLI video cards, and a Blu-ray drive, along with a promise that its starting price would approach a reasonable $2,000 earned it a Best of CES nod in the gaming category. Alienware has finally released the system, and its performance in CNET Labs more than lived up to expectations. Our review system included a host of upgrades that more than double the baseline model's price and we can't help but wish that a $4,000-plus laptop would have a slightly more sophisticated look.

Alienware Area-51 M9750 Review
Bron: Notebookreview.com EN→NL Archive.org version
The Area-51 M9750 is a top-of-the-line gaming notebook from Alienware. It features an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and is available with dual Nvidia high-performance video cards. The Alienware M 9750 has a select user base. The main reason to buy this notebook is for extreme gaming. With the kind of components this notebook has, it is tough to beat. Its main competitor is the Clevo D900C (commonly known as the Sager NP 9260). Although the Clevo is slightly more powerful overall, the M9750 is significantly slimmer and lighter. For gamers who want the ultimate power in a reasonably portable package, the Alienware M9750 is the machine to beat. The Alienware Area-51 M9750 definitely ranks as one of the most impressive systems I have used in almost every aspect, from its striking visual appearance to the fast overall performance. The M9750’s beautiful customized case design is only half of the experience – the other half belongs to the array of top-of-the-line components inside.

80% Review: Alienware Area-51 m9750 notebook PC
Bron: vnunet.com EN→NL Archive.org version
Alienware machines aren't known for skimping on performance, and the much-delayed Area-51 m9750 looks set to keep up this reputation. Announced in January of this year, it's not designed with the latest technologies. The m9750 relies on the old Intel 945PM Napa chipset rather than the updated Santa Rosa platform. What is new about this notebook design, though, is that it's the first to put two graphics cards on an Intel motherboard with a Core 2 Duo processor. Until now, AMD has had mobile multi-graphics card functionality all to itself, despite having slower and less energy-efficient mobile processors. Inside there's a T7200 2GHz processor backed up with 2GB of 667MHz DDR2 Ram. This is pushed to the side lines by the two headline grabbing Geforce Go 7950GTX cards in SLI mode, each with 512MB Ram; mobile versions of the faster 8800GTX aren't due until later this year.

Alienware has a knack for creating gaming designs that'll appeal to just about anyone. The Alienware Area-51 m9750 ($4,708 direct), for instance, is a testament to how a touch of simplicity can enhance the design. It moves away from the flashy neon paint jobs in favor of a stealthier look Batman would love. Stealth Black, as Alienware likes to call it, is an intuitive approach to adding subtlety while retaining the unearthly look of an Alienware gaming rig. There's a lot to like about the design, but pulverizing the gaming opposition is still the main objective. That's why an SLI-enabled graphics chipset and a high-performance, mobile dual-core processor are ready for the task at hand. For this, the m9750 supplants the Dell XPS M1710 as the gaming king, or at least until Dell can come up with a new rig. After numerous paint jobs, performance configurations, and media bundles, Alienware finally got it right with the Area-51 m9750.

Well the thing came this morning @ 9:15am , the machine was order'd on the 29th of June. VERY impressed at the speed it came. The Machine came installed with Vista and one 7950gtx enabled, from this out of the box setup i had a 3dmark 06 score of 6,214 Time was to get Xp onto it and see the full power, had a little trouble getting xp on without a usb floppydrive but managed it by adding the RAID drivers to the XP CD. This is currently installing and will post a host of benchmarks once i have it up and running later. Now for the pictures of the lovely machine: (also please forgive any bad pictures im not sure what others would like to see, any requests and ill do my best) I was handed over 2 plain looking boxes from my DHL man, i was very excited.

This is my second computer, and my first time purchasing from Alienware. My old computer is a Dell Inspiron 5100. After a considerable amount of reading and research, I realized I was far more into computers now than four years ago. I needed a real gaming laptop, rather than just the plain old laptop on sale at the nearest Best Buy. Exploring companies such as Dell (again), WidowPC, Falcon Northwest, Voodoo PC, Sager, and a few others, I was very impressed by both NVIDIA's SLI and Intel's Core 2 Duo processor, but I could not find any computer that offered both beasts in one laptop. Just as I was about to settle with an SLI machine without dual core, Alienware's newest juggernaut came along: the Area-51 m9750. Intel's Core 2 Duo, Dual 7950 GTX's, a breathtaking 1920x1200 display.. Fruitless searches and uncertainty were over. It was perfect.

So if you want a no-compromise gaming rig you can actually take with you, the Area-51 m9750 is currently the best machine available. It isn't cheap, but the full complement of gaming and multimedia features makes it the only PC you'll need for years to come.

Commentaar

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX: De NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX is de beste van de mobiele grafische kaarten serie van NVIDIA (van de 7000 series) en voorganger van de 7900 GTX grafische kaart. Deze maakt het mogelijk om alle huidige (10/2006) spellen in de hoogste resolutie en opties vloeiend te spelen. De gegenereerde hitte is ook navenant hoog. Daarom kan deze alleen in DTR laptops (17") gebruikt worden.  Op het moment is dit het beste wat er te koop is voor speelfans.

De prestatie kan deels vergeleken worden met de Desktop 7950 GT video kaarten (deels iets beter, volgens NVIDIA).

De meeste niet-veeleisende huidige games kunnen vloeiend draaien. Wees voorbereid op verminderde grafische weergave door lage detailinstellingen en lage resoluties. Toch verschaffen deze kaarten voldoende prestatie voor kantoor taken en video bekijken (niet voor HD videos).

>> Meer informatie kan gevonden worden in ons Vergelijk van Mobiele Grafische Kaarten en de passende Benchmark Tabel.

Intel Core 2 Duo: Dit is de Core Duo, de opvolger van de Core Solo met een langere pipeline en 5-20% meer snelheid zonder een hoger stroomverbruik. Als een aanvulling op het Core Duo ontwerp zit er een vierde decoder op, een versterkte SSE-unit en een extra reken-, logische unit (ALU).
De Core 2 Duo voor laptops is identiek aan de desktop Core 2 Duo processors maar de notebook-processors werken met een lagere spanning en een lagere Frontside bus klok. De prestatie van gelijk-geklokte notebooks is 20-25% lager dan Desktop PCs vanwege de lagere Frontside bus klok en de langzamere harde schijf.

Alienware: Alienware werd in 1996 opgericht in de VS. Het Europese hoofdkantoor is gevestigd in Ierland. Alienware maakt sinds 2006 deel uit van de Dell Group. Het productassortiment richt zich voornamelijk op gaming laptops en desktops, die ontwikkeld en geproduceerd worden door Dell. Het handelsmerk is een licht futuristisch ontwerp met een Alien als logo. Daarnaast worden er werkstations voor particulieren en bedrijven verkocht.

Zoals bij elk merk zijn er ook bij Alienware enkele punten van kritiek. Sommige klanten hebben geklaagd over de hoge prijzen van de producten, terwijl anderen kritiek hadden op de kwaliteit van de klantenservice. Er zijn ook enkele meldingen geweest van problemen met de betrouwbaarheid en duurzaamheid van sommige Alienware-producten. Veel klanten hebben echter ook positieve ervaringen met het merk en waarderen de krachtige spelcomputers.

85.88%: Dit is een score die boven gemiddeld is. Wel moet je er bij bedenken dat ongeveer 10-15% van alle notebooks een betere score krijgt.
