When you want to get your game on, you need to consider a gaming-centric laptop like the black Alienware M14x AM14RX2-7494BK 14" Gaming Laptop Computer. It has the bells and whistles that gamers look for when buying a gaming laptop.
It starts with the 2.5GHz Intel Core i5-3210M dual-core processor (which can be overclocked to 3.1 GHz) with a 3MB cache. Add to that 6GB of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM, and you've added some muscle to the engine. Top it off with a 500GB 7200 rpm hard drive, and you have a solid base for a gaming machine.
To show off that power you'll need a kick in the graphics. The Alienware M14x provides a 14" HD widescreen LED-backlit display with a native 1366 x 768 resolution. The graphics card running this display is an NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with Optimus Technology and 2GB of discrete RAM. Add a pair of integrated speakers running Creative Sound Blaster Recon3Di with THX TruStudio Pro Software and you have a multimedia powerhouse.
You're connected by a wide range of ports and terminals. From USB 3.0 to the VGA, HDMI and mini DisplayPort, you can watch the visuals on your screen or on a larger monitor or HDTV. You'll also appreciate the 9-in-1 Media Card reader with SD, SDIO, SDXC, SDHC, MS, MS Pro, MMC, MSXC and xD-Picture support. There's also an integrated 8x SuperMulti DVD+-R/RW slot-loading optical drive, along with a webcam and microphone.
Gaming online won't be a problem. The communication network in this machine includes integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet, Wireless-N and Bluetooth connectivity. Even the keyboard features some nice backlight enhancements - the AlienFX illuminated keyboard allows up to 512 billion distinct lighting combinations, and you can personalize the lighting to respond to in-game events. It also includes a multi-touch touchpad with gesture controls.
When it's time to get your game on, make sure you're prepared with a powerful processor, decent graphics card and other amenities that will make your experience a pleasant one.
