Laptops Arena

Today we will be evaluating Alienware's midrange gaming notebook, the 15.4" Area-51 m5550. It is clearly targeted at the gaming and enthusiast crowd, featuring an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, powerful Nvidia graphics, and Alienware's unique case design.

With specifications like our test machine, it gives a new meaning to the word 'performance', and sets itself apart from the competition.

The Alienware Area-51 m5550 is one of the few notebooks I have tested that I feel delivers an outstanding ownership experience.

Granted, it does have its flaws -- poor battery life, a warm operating temperature, and average viewing angles, but no product is going to be perfect, and this one is no exception.
