Alienware M14x AM14X-6557STB Take control of your gaming with the Alienware M14X multimedia laptop (model AM14X-6557STB), which features a thermally optimized case design with aggressive lines and an in-your-face attitude. It features a stunning, high-definition 14-inch display and a powerful, second-generation Intel Core i5 processor. Additionally, it offers ultra-fast DDR3 system memory and dual graphics capabilities, allowing you to save on battery life with the integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 or ramp up your gaming with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M with 1.5 GB of discrete memory.
The original M11x came with a 1.3-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 CPU overclocked to 1.73 GHz. Coupled with 4GB of RAM and Nvidia GeForce GT 335M graphics , it scored 3,732 on PCMark Vantage, which at the time was impressive for a system this small. The Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T, which has a 1.2-GHz Intel Core i5-430UM CPU, scored 3,824.
The M11x's 7,200-rpm, 500GB hard drive was plenty fast, copying a 4.97GB folder of multimedia files in 2 minutes and 45 seconds, a rate of 30.8 MBps. Surprisingly, the Core i7 CPU wasn't much faster than the original M11x's CPU when transcoding a 114MB MPEG-4 to AVI. The newer M11x took 1:23, while the older M11x took 1:34. Still, that's 44 seconds faster than average, and 8 seconds faster than the Aspire 1830T.
