    I know the larger Alienwares like the m17x can use their HDMI port as an input. I would figure the m14x would be able to do so too but i cannot figure it out. Does anyone know for sure?

    m14x does not support hdmi input , but output yes , 100% sure. Just took a shot for your reference.

    Usually they have different port for input/output , but m14x only output.

    Hi.. When you use your hdmi output, does it use Intel graphic card? Mine only shows intel, does it supposed to have an option to use nvidia 650m when you use the hdmi output as well?

    The HDMI output runs through the intel card, however your games will run with the nVidia card. You just need to make sure your games are whitelisted.
