Budget 1400-1900$ give or take 100 or so.
I myself own an m15x. Am very pleased with it, other then the insanely garbage build and creaky lid (Yes i got it a long time ago)

Main question is what would you suggest.
Main concerns are a good graphic card and a nice processor. Gaiming use mainly.

Are the new m15xs fixed when it comes to the lid and the build?
should I go for a dell. I know dell owns alienware now.

What do you suggest a good laptop would be, i havent really been up to date with everything lately.

the new m15x has nothing to do with the old one

620m for the processor if you can find a spot for it. beast of a gaming processor.
also as already stated add the 5850 and you have the best gaming machine in 15"
