M17x-R3 Notebook Check english review

Here's the link to the review posted by notebook check moments ago:

Review Alienware M17x R3 (GTX 460M, i7-2630QM) Notebook - Notebookcheck.net Reviews

 

That is a really good review. Covered most all the bases.

 

According to that review, the R3 is just as loud as previous M17X models. It says 48Db at full load, which is very/too loud in my opinion. In another review I read, it says like 38Db (which is very good) at full load. Wish I could hear the fans for myself without buying it :/

 

what i dont like is even with a SB processor and a strong GPU like that, u get crap for being on highest settings in most games...

 

It's a gaming laptop!

 

Now we need them to be rereleased.

 

good so I've finally got a review of the FHD screen panel, and I now know that the g73's model is different and still better :x

Yet I still have not found any info about the 1600x900 screen hardware ID... nobody found any info about it?

 

@JonnyFrost
i seen somewhere on web how a guy replaced asus g73 900p panel for 1080p panel, said bought on ebay, all instructions with photos, but honestly dont remember where i saw that

 

Yeah, Notebookcheck said the R2 was 52Db. I don't know why they just don't do a repaste, everyone knows Dell screws up a lot when it comes to installing CPUs and GPUs, they even forget to take off the plastic.

 

Anyone notice they said the CPU goes up to 90 degrees but the sxreenshots only show mid 70s. Maybe it's different in German

 

Can't say I really agree with the final verdict, not sure how the author comes to the conclusion that a gtx 460 equipped r3 can only be out shined by 485 and 6970, I know a 5870 is faster than 460, as does the 470 and the 6870 as well.

"But the performance is without a doubt the apex of what's currently available in the notebook world." is most disagreeable I think that honor still goes to the x7200 with dual gtx 485 and 990 extreme processor. I think a statement saying its the best performance for the money you spend makes more sense.

 

Totally agree with you, where the R3 shines is in the fact that for this amount of money you will get the best deal on the market as far as gaming notebooks go (performance, display, sound, build quality and looks).
But saying that it's the apex is pushing it too far when we consider machines like the x7200 from clevo

 

the m17x r3 supports sli correct also would the r3 be adequate to sustain 2 485m's, can the internal power supply handle that? i'd be interested to buy an r3 then.

 

The M17x R3 does not support SLI. Only Clevo has a laptop right now with that gpu configuration (x7200).

 

so this is the first line up where the 17x r series is officially multi gpu capable-less

 

that is correct.

FOR ALL -

Now, before this goes any further, reminder that there are people on this forum who purchased/plan to purchase an R3. Leave the negatives out of your posts. If you are content with the R2, so be it. This goes for R3 folks as well. Neither should be trolling each other. Any type of 'trolling' will result in immediate mod action.
