    till I'll be typing a review on my m15x!!! Ive finally been able to check the forums to see whats going on and i have to say that i am pleasantly surprised! there have been some good reviews on the m15x recently and now I can't wait till i can play with mine. Is there anything that i should test for or make sure i include in my review?
    crossing my fingers that i have a good experience with alienware and don't get a lemon and have to send it back

    Good news lolo24 :)
    Looking forward to the review.. Things people would like look at to see more consistent fixes is: keyboard flex (near the arrow keys), clicking/cracking of the plastic frame around the screen and touch button responsiveness.. Most users who've recently got their m15x have reported that most of these are gone/fixed..
    Other things to look for: creaking lid, keyboard lag and... umm.. downclocking X9000 CPU if you got one.. I think that's it.. Oh and maybe a little wobble - some users can't take that..
    But be positive 'cause except for the downclocking extreme processors, most of the others are minor IMO.. Yours will be great !! :)

    Also, monitor your GPU because if you have a GPU reaching 100C, I think you should also consider it as a big problem.
    Apart from that, you will be fine and have fun for sure.
