Review “Performance is something that the Alienware M18x has in abundance and then some. With dual graphics cards, a Sandy Bridge Intel Core i7 CPU overclocked to 4GHz and large amounts of RAM this gaming beast found rendering fast-paced action in Call of Duty: Black Ops on full detail settings easier than a walk in the park” – Chris Martin , The Inquirer
