Alienware Gamer Pushes His Notebook, Desktop to the Outer Limits

Doug Walsworth. To the passersby, he might seem like the average Joe working a 9-to-5, but, to fellow gamers, the credibility he receives is instantaneous when Doug reveals his Alienware® Area-51® m15x notebook or boots up his Alienware Area-51® 7500. While he might play at their level, with Alienware®, he operates on a higher realm.

When Doug is at home and he wants to play a little, that’s when the real fun begins. He takes his m15x notebook with its Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme Processor, NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800M GTX and 1200p Extreme High Definition capability and maxes out his settings. Then, he attaches the m15x to his Sony® BRAVIA® su108-inch HD projector using an HDMI cord and adjusts the resolution to 1440x900. From there, it’s another out-of-thisworld experience.

“Everything I’ve seen with the m15x - every game I’ve played with it - I’ve been able to run at max settings with no problems,” he said. “I’ve had other high-performance notebooks, and one thing I’ve noticed is that even though the m15x has the 8800M GTX, it’s still a lot quieter than the others. What’s great is I just plug the m15x into the projector, and I don’t even have to adjust the projector settings. The picture is clear, and there’s no distortion. I just attach my wireless keyboard and mouse, and I’m good to go.”

When it comes to specific games, Doug has a few favorites. His passion is World of Warcraft, but when Doug’s not managing his re-tooled interface or raiding SSC and Tempest Keep, he enjoys the intense graphics of Lord of the Rings and Crysis. The DirectX®10 capabilities of the Area-51® m15x make Middle Earth come alive. And there’s no telling how long Doug might be online, so the m15x’s Dual Hard Drives with Smart Bay Technology and Smart Bay battery have his storage space and power covered.

During downtime or at the office, Doug and his Area-51® m15x can go into Stealth Mode. His notebook reduces power consumption and switches to the alternate integrated graphics card, while Doug refuels himself and goes back to working with programs like Word. Then, it’s back to the gamer’s daily grind - another online raid or team deathmatch.

“All of these Area-51® models - the 7500, the m9750 and now the m15x - Ihave been extremely pleased with,” he said. “That’s just one of the reasons I keep coming back to Alienware®.”
