Review Alienware M18x Notebook

Installed Software

The buyer does not have to fear that the M18x will be delivered with tons of bloatware. Thanks to Alienwares decision not to install unnecessary software, the laptop is able to start out of the box at its top speed. The included CyberLink PowerDVD 9.6 can be used to play Blu-Ray discs directly, without needing expensive extra software.

The heart of the software installation is the so-called Command Center. Here, the energy saving options (AlienFusion), lighting (AlienFX), touchpad (AlienTouch), and macro keys (AlienTactX) can be configured.

Accessories

The delivery package includes plenty of extras. The package includes, other than the 330 W power adapter (1.54 kgs) and the 12 cell battery, an in-depth manual, a black cap, a good mouse pad, and a nice sticker. The notebook itself is hidden under a nice cover. The delivery packaged is rounded off by 5 DVDs (incl. Recovery-DVD).

Guarantee

The guarantee life can range from 12 to 48 months. Hardware support on the next work day is also a nice feature. In addition, the manufacturer also offers accident insurance for a premium.
