I like my M17 top outer case more than the M17x.

 

I like new plain clean look, which is recently robbed by ASUS to design G73

 

There's more videos like this on their Alienware TV channel. It's funny, in the video they mention they went for a more stealth look and what does Asus advertise as their main selling point for G73? "Stealth bomber design", yeah more like, "we're not creative enough to do anything besides rip off AW". The M15x/M17x really are in a class by themselves, no other gaming notebook comes close in design, build quality and aesthetics. Clevo's and Asus notebooks look like cheap paper weights in comparison.

 

Patrick says they took the xps and the old m17 and they blend it all that is bull.......

 

Boy I cant wait for my M15x to arrive O_O
Thanks for posting!

 

The reason why i decide to go for M17X is it's design. However I can't agree with you regarding paper weight stuff. Clevo & Asus make good products & even AW used Clevo products in the past.

ASUS just act like a Chinese Auto maker & copied the design. They do the job, but still a copy.

My £4.5K gonna wait until AW release CF M17x with DX11 support.

 

Agreed, my Clevo M570RU despite it's solid Clevo quality, looks like a dollar store item compared to my M17x.

 

Wish I could watch the youtube video properly, but I can't thanks to STUTTER! =*(

 

The em seventeen eks looks way better in real life.

Have any of you put your expensive laptop in the position they did in 2.44

@ Wolverine: Never thought stutter can be that bad.

 

Lol....Hope they fixed it with new version.

 

I remember when that video came out. It actually got everyone talking about the possibility of the "red" version being released.

@Wolverine: I'm assuming you already tried un-raiding your drives to troubleshoot a stuttering issue.

 

I actually haven't tried unraiding but i have heard it doesn't work - this will be my next step,, i have a tech coming out tomorrow (fingers crossed they don't break the unit..!)

Sorry for bombarding the topic, no more stutter talk!

 

I liked those 'wings' on the back of the old alienware models better than the current design of the back of the screen, but the overall design of the new m17x is definitly better, definitly because of those 'jet' looking things in front of it.
After watching this video I totaly want one, but the total cost of a decent configuration would go up to 3500€ which I could afford, but I would feel guilty for spending that much money on a laptop that will probably not be able to run the newest games at their max settings after 2 years or even just a year.

 

if i have m17 i probably would not sell it,and i will keep them,since it's the last design of alienware,in the future,i think they won't be any skullcap looks anymore,skullcap has been alienware trademark as far as i know.

 

I liked the design on the back of the older M17. I know it's more 'retro', but it was cool.

I guess it is an aesthetic thing. Anyway to get one of those and plant them on the M17x?

 

Nope. It's not even shaped the same.

 

and the alienware head logo has been change to more aggressive since with dell when you look at the old alienware,kinda mysterious,but with the new design,it's like "we don't come in peace" looks

 

For Your Bank Account ........

 

are they anyhow suposed to comme in peace i men you certainly don,t come in peace to your oponent in game XD


and it looks like skullkape is makinga return the m11x has it so i expect the bigger brothers to get it somewhere in the future
i7+rbg led + dx11(hpefully5970) + skullcape = m17 sold

 

LMAO 10 char...
