We reviewed the Alienware M1. Revision 2 R2 version of the M1. Anyone familiar with the other gaming notebooks in the Alienware family should instantly recognize the design of the new M1. In many ways the designers at Alienware tried to make this 1. Iss Blackice Pc Protection V3.6 Keygenx. MCZhW.png' alt='Windows 7 Deep Blue Alienware' title='Windows 7 Deep Blue Alienware' />M1. M1. A large part of that design heritage is the unique style of Alienware machines. Many laptops look all but identical when the lids are closed, but an Alienware laptop stands out thanks to the stylized lid with futuristic lines and a silver alien head logo. The biggest design change with the M1. R2 is the new Soft Touch Stealth Black finish. Compared to the old glossy black finish on the original M1. Think. Pad. Also like a Think. Pad, the M1. 1x R2 maintains the boxy design of the original M1. Laptops like the Dell Inspiron 1. HP Envy series get thinner as you move to the outside edges and thicker toward the center of the notebook. The chassis of the M1. Alienware engineers needed all that space for the discrete graphics card, extra cooling, and the integrated battery. The integrated battery is also something to keep in mind when talking about the thickness of this notebook. The M1. 1x might seem thick with its height of 1. Dell Inspiron 1. 1z or Lenovo Idea. NASAs Voyager 1 spacecraft is one of the universes only unproblematic faves. For over 39 years, its been cruising along in space, flying by Saturn and the. Pad U1. 50 with 6 cell extended life batteries then they are actually thicker than this Alienware machine. Build quality is second to none thanks to the previously mentioned magnesium alloy construction combined with matte black plastics. The exterior of the notebook feels rock solid with just a little bit of flex on the back of the screen lid when you apply pressure. The keyboard and palmrest dont suffer from any noticeable flex even under heavy typing pressure. Again, the M1. 1x is still the most durable 1. The M1. 1x easily rivals the build quality of some business notebooks that label themselves as being business rugged. The build quality hasnt changed with the new revision of this notebook it just received a nicer finish. Another essential element of the Alienware design is the use of customizable LED lighting in key areas around the notebook. The first thing that most people notice is the gorgeous backlit keyboard and two front panels, but my personal favorite is the backlit alien head located above the keyboard. Using the Alien. FX software included on the M1. I set the alien head on my original M1. AC power and red when its running on battery power. This is a fantastic way to alert the user if the power cord is accidentally unplugged during a game. Two additional areas that light up on the M1. These two areas, however, arent configurable with the Alien. FX software the vent uses the same lighting as the keyboard and the alien head on the screen lid is illuminated by the LCD when the laptop is running. US customers also still have the option of getting a personalized, laser etched name plate on the bottom of the M1. R2. Speaking of the bottom of the notebook, the M1. The bottom panel is largely flat and smooth with speaker grill holes for the downward firing stereo speakers, the cooling fan intake, and battery meter. If youre interested in upgrading the internal components on your M1. Accessing the CPU, graphics or the cooling fan is much more complicated, but most consumers honestly dont need to get to those inner workings. The single massive cover panel for the battery, hard drive, wireless cards and memory slots uses standard Phillips screws for easy disassembly. Its also worth mentioning that DellAlienware were kind enough to use retention clips on all the screws so when you unscrew the bottom panel the tiny screws wont fall out and get lost on the floor. No warranty void if removed stickers were found anywhere, although there was some yellow tape over the edge of the hard drive and battery. In any case, Alienware considers the internal battery, hard drive, RAM and wireless cards to all be user serviceable parts. Also, the one year, on site service warranty should handle any issues that pop up during the first year and you can always buy extended service warranties if you desire. Long story short, if you want to replace the battery or upgrade the usual suspects then its pretty easy to do so. Screen and Speakers. The 1. 1. 6 LED backlit screen on the M1. R2 is identical to the screen on the original M1. Dell Inspiron 1. 1z. Internet Access Controller Ware. With a resolution of 1. The panel looks great, with good color reproduction and very even lighting thanks to the LED backlighting. Contrast is average, and varies depending on the vertical viewing angle. The viewing sweet spot is very narrow, so if you move your head just a little bit you wont see an entirely black screen during dark scenes in a game. Instead, you either see some shift at the top or some at the bottom. Brighter colors dont have this problem and look fantastic in everything from viewing images to just browsing the web. Once again, our only significant complaint about the screen on the M1. Glossy screens look cool when you see them in a store or when you first take your laptop out of the box, but glossy screens also cause obvious reflections on the screen and make it much more difficult to see whats on the screen when youre under strong indoor lighting or direct sunlight. Dell really needs to offer a matte screen option on this notebook since its designed to be taken everywhere and you cant always control your lighting environment when traveling. Speaker quality is far above average for an 1. Although the stereo speakers on the M1. Alienware engineers also designed two small sound channels into the chassis to direct sound forward through the two decorative LED panels on the front on the notebook. So despite the fact that most of the sound is directed down there is also some sound being thrown forward at the user. Although the M1. 1x has two excellent headphone jacks you might be perfectly happy with the built in speakers on this laptop. Keyboard and Touchpad. For many years Alienware notebooks have used a distinctive keyboard design with adjustable LED backlighting so you can view the keyboard in the dark. The M1. 1x continues this tradition with one of the best, if not THE best, keyboard weve used on an 1. In general, the keyboard uses individual keys with a traditional shape that is slightly curved in the middle of each key. Key spacing is quite good and each key has the perfect amount of feedback with minimal side travel. The big difference between this keyboard and the keyboards on other 1. Dell Alienware 1.
