the extreme narcissist

So about 2 weeks ago, I purchased an Alienware m15x laptop. For all of you who don't know, Alienware is a subsidary of Dell, and they produce gaming/media laptops. Basically, you wanna game, get this. So, after 2 weeks, I thought since I really have nothing else to blog about, I'll blog about my new boy, Earl (Yes I named my laptop after my flesh eating virus from hell, because it's that damn good). First, lemme run you trhough the boring numbers that might put you to sleep, so get the coffee brewing. The processor is the intel core i7 1.6 ghz , hich can be trubocharged up to 2.8 ghz. No, not the turbocharger you find in a car, because even if you could find a way to fit that in a laptop, all it would do is make your latop accelerate, and i dont think you would want that would you? Didn/t think so. 1080p display, 500 gb hard drive, 4gb RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M graphics card. The latop came in an awesome box and cover, and oce it started up, it looked awesome. The Alienware FX system, which provides backlight to your keyboard, keypad, power button, alienware logo and alienhead is amazing fun to toy around with, mixing and matching colours to make it look like an ice cream made by a blind ice cream man. A few issues popped upped with the system, all of which were my fault. Firstly, i bought Bioshock 2, pirated of course (Don't give me that look, I bet YOU have 100s of pirated dvd's back home don't you ) and it corrupted my whole C Drive and it couldt eject. After 2 hours, it finally did. Never used that cd again. And then my games played really badly. I spent approximately 6 hours talking to Dell customer service only to discover the laptop has been on stealth mode (power saver mode) the whole time, and I could deactivate that with the touch of a button. I KNEW that, I just kept pressing the wrong button =/ Well, all that's fine and dandy, but how does it perform gaming wise you ask? I played Counter Strike Source, fully maxed out without Anti Aliasing, and managed 300 fps (Frames Per Second, basically how smooth the game runs). I ran Left 4 dead 2 fully maxed out with Anti Aliasing set at 16x and got 60fps. For those of you who don't get what I mean, anything above 30 fps is damn good. The bad points about this laptop ? The touchpad is a joke, and not my kind of jokes either. It is horrendous, but a mouse fixes all that. Also, it's pricey, very pricey. Don't wanna mention it here though. Overall, the Alienware m15x is something out of this world ( Yes, I'm Mr. I'm so funny laugh at my jokes) Jokes aside, this laptop is a monster, that devours any game it comes into contact with and if you have the cash to spare, it's worth every cent.
