Alienware m15x-216CSB 15.6-Inch Laptop (Cosmic Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After having my XPS M1530 kicking the bucket I had it sent back to dell for a full refund. I had always wanted an Alienware computer but always thought they were too expensive. When I finally got my refund back it was too late in the summer to custom build one from Alienware with school coming soon. So I looked on Amazon and sure enough they had the M15x for sale. So I said why not since it was only a bit more than my XPS system, tacked on 1 day shipping with Amazon Prime and got it the next day.
My god this thing is beautiful. The build quality of this laptop is fantastic, I love the hard plastic finish on the palm rest. It doesn't smudge and my hands will not deteriorate the material like on my M1530. They keyboard has minimal flex and the 900P screen is fantastic to look at. The touch pad isnt that great but who cares, its a gaming laptop, your expected to use an external mouse. The Alienware FX lighting system on this thing is so cool. Any one that sees this thing will instantly be attracted to the multicolor light up keyboard, it looks awesome.
As for the performance of this laptop look no further. This thing is very fast with the specs it ships with. My system actually came with 1333MHZ DDR3 instead of the stated 1066MHZ. The i7 720 quad CPU is a beast for multitasking. Alienware is great about not sending their systems with any bloatware which slows your PC down at start up, even still I like to do a fresh install with any of my systems and I have only 5 start up items, which makes load times for windows within seconds after entering the password, or having the laptop camera recognize your face. Gaming is great with this thing, the 5850 seriously pulls it weight, you can also flash its bios to make it run at the 5870s clock speeds. So far I have only played Oblivion on this thing. It runs at 1600x900 with high settings, 2AA, and maintains a respectable frame rate.
If you dont feel like waiting from Dell to pick up an Alienware, get this from Amazon. You will not be disappointed.

HP Compaq nx6125 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this reconditioned HP Compaq nx6125 laptop for my daughter as a Christmas present. It arrived and my husband plugged it in and checked it out. Everything seemed to be working so it was put back in the box and wrapped. On Christmas day, my daughter opened it and plugged it in. Again, everything was working. She plugged the battery in for several hours and it did not hold a charge so she plugged it back in and left it all night and part of Sunday. Again she tried to use the computer with the battery but it only showed 1 bar. I sent an e-mail through Amazon to the seller on Sunday, December 26. As of today, Tuesday, December 28 I have not heard anything from them. I am hoping the seller stands behind his product and replaces the defective battery, because it was never able to be used. This computer works well when it is plugged in but she has not been able to test it with the battery.
If the company stands behind their product and it is straightened out I will update my post. Otherwise, I would not purchase from this seller again.

HP Pavilion P6210F Black Desktop PC (Windows 7 Home Premium) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Impressive Value! ... Though the 2.6 GHz Athlon II 620 Quad-Core with 2.6 GHz, 2MB L2 Cache may not be the fastest Processor one can buy at this price level, a second look at the rest of the components this desktop sports will justify the purchase and the enterprise.
With this configuration, You can tell that I am neither a gamer nor a professional film editor; hence a lightning fast firing processor was not what I was after. But my typical work session would include sending and receiving email, uploading, editing and processing photos in Photoshop, downloading movies and watching them, and occasionally using Skype while surfing the net, and at the same time, cleaning and defragmenting the hard disk in the background all at the same breath!
Such seemingly mundane tasks, while appearing innocuous enough, exact a heavy toll on the processing core of the chip; so a lightning fast dual only core would behave like a clueless cheerleader with two left feet; on the turf, she is cute and nimble because she memorizes her routine well, but on the dance floor, she is a klutz who can't chew gum and synchronize her dance movements with her dance partner at the same time!
Enter Quad Core processing power 2.6 GHz; though not the extreme speed that you might want if you were a gamer, it has a superb capability for multi-tasking with ease and agility; and that is where this powerhouse comes in handy; enough speed for most if not almost all applications, and enough multi-tasking processing power for four fraught applications simultaneously with ease and without klutzy performance or staggered inter-lapping allocation of processing power.
The 2 MB level2 cache proved readily and immediately, upon initial use, that it is crucial for the smooth procession of processed data throughout 4 cores, thereby augmenting the capabilities of the processor.
And the 6 GB of memory are the beauty behind this simple yet elegant power-capable configuration, while the fact that the motherboard is capable of handling 16 GB memory expansion put my mind at ease against design obsolescence when faced with Microsoft's unpredictable quirks for memory hungry OS development.
The NVIDIA GeForce 9100 Graphics Card, though integrated as is the custom in this price range, is another extra component that adds to the performance by freeing the processor from the burden of handling power-hungry graphics. An independent graphics card rather than integrated would probably have added about one point to the overall performance rating at about $50.00 added to the price, but then if you had no need for it, it would be an unnecessary expense. I am of the opinion that if your primary use includes a lot of photo and video editing it may be of benefit to you to spend about $50.00 for a powerful graphics card and install it yourself; it is a 5-minute simple job, otherwise the machine as configured is plenty powerful.
All in all, unless you are a gamer, my initial use has convinced me that this machine is very well designed, capable and indeed far superior for the typical workstation user than almost anything else out there within $100 price range, give or take, and bang for the buck, it is a hard act to follow.
