HEXUS has posted a review on the Alienware Area-51 m5700 laptop



Alienware Area-51 falls foul of the competition is with respect to 3D graphics. NVIDIA's GeForce 6800 Go 256MB PCIe graphics adapter is no slouch, but the Ultra model, as specified by Dell, is significantly faster. The comparison Rock's Mobility Radeon X800 XT 256MB is faster still, so Alienware, pricing this particular sample at around £1800, really needed to out-specify the established hierarchy for DTR laptops. Matters would have been fine if one had the option of upgrading the video to the '6800 Ultra model, or even the more-impressive GeForce 7800 GTX Go, but that isn't the case.
