I know that m14x is the most powerful 14 inches machine. But, what other 14 inches system is close to it??
-
Though it may only have a 14" screen the M14x will likely be the size of the average 15" laptop.. I guess the competition in that category will be stiff.
-
-
Actually, yeah.. that's why it's at the end of the line lol.
-
Karamazovmm Overthinking? Always!
its going to compete against 15.6'', the HP dv6 is more powerful than this. Such a gaming machine!

I am not arguing for or against anything, just pointing out facts. -
While the M14x is larger than most 14inch laptops it is also smaller than ALL 15inch ones. Apart from thickness and weight. Reason for thickness- Better cooling, reason for weight- better build materials(lol i sound like a fanboi; I guess I am).
GT555M with 3gb DDR3 Vram(on Dell XPS 17) 3d Mark 11 result
AMD 6770m with 1gb GDDR5 Vram(on HP dv6t qe) 3d Mark 11 result
Both results are from NBR users. Found them out here
Anyway, having said that i still don't feel that the HP is better, the GPU may be slightly better but the screen res is just awful. -

Yeah, I guess it is, but most 15 inch notebooks that it is deeper than have the GT540m, the ones with the GTX460m are larger.
Either way this is the most portable gaming machine you can have. Only this HP dv4 comes close to it with a 6750m with 1gb GDDR5. But as of now it is only available in some Asian markets(as far as i know India only). It costs 900$ in India and should cost around 600-700USD in the US if it is ever launhced there. But it only has an i5 processor, though it is significantly smaller than the M14x, but HP build quality=/= Alienware quality in any way. Its only plus is the price. Might steal half of M14x's(perhaps even the M11x's) sales if launched in the US. But i doubt this will launch in the US. Though it does mean the Envy 14 will atleast have the 6750m, but that'd be too expensive to give the M14x a run for its money. Anyway they'll probably underclock it for the Envy. But i saw the DV4 at a store and again that flimsy HP build quality, loads of flex on the lid, it was like a trampoline. -
HP low end notebooks are very low quality. I bought one from Costco a while back as a hold over and it had a really crappy display, flimsy keyboard and it overheated.

6770m has a 3dmark vantage score of about 6,000 while the 555m is over 8,000 with a tiny overclock. That's above GTX 460

m14x is a small laptop.
Height
1.49 inches
Width
13.27 inches
Depth
10.17 inches
In the depth, they are considering the hinge cover depth too..
Any gaming 15.6 inches laptop is considerably bigger...
ASUS G50VT:
Height
1.6 inches
Width
14.8 inches
Depth
10.4 inches
Clevo Metabox W150HNQ
Height
1.46 inches
Width
14.72 inches
Depth
9.84 inches
Gateway NV55C38u
Height
1.34 inches
Width
14.99 inches
Depth
9.96 inches
The purpose of this thread is to mention only 14 inches laptop, not big monsters... -

Also forgot to mention 3dmark 06 is 15,000. You can't even OC a HP because they overheat. Take a look at the HP forums with even the new laptops. -

Ugh, the build websites all show the GT 555M listed as DDR3... not GDDR3 much less GDDR5
Clock speeds look fine if they aren't downclocked, and 192-bit width helps, but that's a disappointment -
-
Probably the same 555M which is found in the XPS line, so should have some overclocking potential.
-
Stop your madness. -
My 280m got 55-6000, no way 555m is at all faster. It has 16 more shaders and improved architecture, but 25% less bandwidth in ddr3.

1. The notebooks you gave are poor comparisons and they still are about the same thickness, weight and depth as the m14x
2. There haven't been any reported overheating problems with the new dv6, and there weren't many with the last generation one as well. I OC'd the 5650 in my old dv6z to almost AMD5850 performance. -

The 5650 can't sniff the faster version. -

The point is that it is closer in size to 15.6'' notebooks than it is 14'' notebooks. And who cares about thickness? When you are talking about size, I think thickness, weight, depth and length should all be considered. -
Honestly guys, its not a big deal. Stop bickering. The m14x is the same depth and thickness as most other 15in gaming laptops. However it is about an inch less length wise. If you want to spam me, check the stats listed above first.
We've established the 555 is weaker than the hp offering. The m14x is the lower end replacement for the m15x, and the m17x r3 is the upper end replacement. That's pretty much settled. If you want to start comparing 15in laptops, bring in the m17x r3. After all, it's dimensions are "about the same" as any 15in. <--JK But depth and thickness are actually about the same
M14 is the most powerful??
