Alienware Area-51m 7700 Mobile Desktop reviewed

 

Here's another review of Alienware's $3,000 Area-51m 7700 Mobile Desktop, this time from the perspective of business users. NewsFactor took a look at the 13-pound behemoth's suitability as a mobile workstation, and found it to be a good solution,...

Alienware's Area-51m 7700 Mobile Desktop reviewed

 

Digital Video Editing has a review of Alienware's ridiculously big Area-51m 7700 laptop, appropriately dubbed a "Mobile Desktop". The 13.5 pound (!) laptop has a 17-inch LCD (not widescreen) and a 3.4GHz Intel desktop CPU, which accounts for some of...

Alienware Area 51 Power Desktop

 

This updated version of an old favorite remains competitive, but we wouldn't place bets on it winning races.

Well-constructed

Tired case design

We can't bear to shoot Alienware's Area 51, but there's no question that this thoroughbred PC has outlived its days at the top of the system charts. At $3219 (as of December 3, 2008; $380 extra with a bundled Samsung 2253BW monitor), it's far too...

Review: Alienware Area-51 X-58

 

For such a supposedly secret location, that Area 51 sure does turn out a lot of computers. Alienware Area-51 X-58 8/10 Learn How We Rate...

Loaded with the absolute latest technology from top to bottom. Infinite connectivity options include six USB, two gigabit Ethernet, one eSATA, and one Firewire port … and that’s just in the back. Includes a free hat

Incredibly heavy and imposingly large. Only one optical drive? At this price we’d expect more than a one-year warranty. 1200 watt power supply ensures the unit doubles as a space heater

Alienware Area-51 ALX Gaming Desktop

 

Alienware's latest desktop is a gaming powerhouse, but its power comes at a steep price.

Superior performance

Hefty price tag

If you're serious about gaming--and have the budget--the Area-51 ALX deserves a look

Alienware Area-51 ALX (Radeon HD 4870 X2 CrossFireX)

 

Alienware's ALX gaming box—using the latest ATI graphics—screams, then makes you scream.

Flashy. Speedy storage. High performance numbers. 32-bit Vista. Rock-solid during testing. Sound deadening works. No crapware.

It's huge. Data drives are RAID 0. Obscene pricing. Crysis numbers aren't there (yet).

Alienware Aurora m7700

 

Out-of-this-world laptop is blazingly fast but saddled by weight.

Runs on a powerful desktop processor. Excellent gaming performance. Plenty of connectivity options. Trademark Alien head design.

Expensive. 15 pounds worth of shoulder strain. Loud with four fans running underneath. Hot air blowing from both sides.

Packed wide-screen desktop replacement has the goods for entertainment.

Offers optional dual RAID hard drives

Pricey, big and heavy

The pricey 51m 7700 is a highly expandable desktop replacement, with some nice entertainment options.

Alienware Area-51m 7700

 

The largest laptop we've seen in a while, the Alienware Area-51m 7700 is the quintessential Pentium 4-fueled gaming and multimedia machine. It has a TV tuner, a 17-inch, wide-screen display, a double-layer DVD drive, and an integrated TV tuner (which...

Very good gaming performance; top-shelf components; Windows XP Media Center and TV tuner lets you watch and record TV; features double-layer DVD burner; full complement of ports and connections.

More expensive than other comparable systems; large and heavy; runs hot.

A very good multimedia laptop, the Area-51m 7700 can handle any task--from gaming to recording TV--but there are less expensive options.
