Alienware Area-51 m5500

 

Like Rock before it, Alienware's Area-51 m5500 let's you choose one graphics chip for work and another for gaming.

The display on our review unit had a resolution of 1,280 x 800 but fortunately shipping units will have 1,440 x 900 as standard, which is much better for a screen this size and there’s even an option for 1,920 x 1,200 though even I think that may be...

Alienware Area-51 m5550

 

The Alienware Area-51 m5550 is one of the fastest laptops on the market—if you can take the heat.

Blazingly fast speeds. Chart-topping benchmark test scores. Over 20 percent faster than other systems on video-encoding tests. Sci-fi design.

Heat issues. Poor battery life. Pricey.

Alienware Area-51 m5500

 

The Alienware Area-51 is not so out-of-this-world, but will satisfy some serious gamers for the price.

Dual graphics. Cool, futuristic design. Fast (7,200-rpm) hard drive.

Must reboot to switch graphics processors. No TV tuner options. Below-average battery life.

Alienware Area-51 M5500 Notebook

 

As one of the pioneers of the gaming notebook, it comes as no surprise to see Alienware coming to the table with yet another innovation. In 2002, the original Area-51m represented the world's first gaming-specific notebook. In typical Alienware...

With a high level look at the Alienware Area-51 m5500, it is hard to not be pleased with its combination of portability and performance. On one hand, traveling with this notebook is nowhere near as effortless as carrying a 12" ultraportable. However,...
