    I am still waiting on my m14x to arrive however, in many of the video reviews and such, i have noticed very visible wavy lines on the display screen. they seem to be inherent in the display and are very distracting and it seems like this is a widespread problem as ive noticed it in almost every m14x video ive seen. Has anyone else noticed this problem or is it just me? Here is a youtube link to one of the videos i noticed it in, if you skip to 2:06 you can see it very clearly

    ‪alienware m14 x review‬‏ - YouTube

    i would appreciate any feed back on this issue, thanks

    Yep, it happens I think on all other laptops too. You can see it on M18x, m17x, m11x videos and ect too.. All just from the WLED screen lol

    Ah, well. I hope the admins dont get mad at me for bumping with something completely off topic ;P.


    Well, not sure you know what a Viliv N5 is. Not alot of people do. But for the G72 vs M14x, the m14x hands down. Beats my old system in a much smaller package, and with alot longer battery. So m14x is my favorite, and my main computer.


    But whats most impressive?

    Probably that. Anyways, if you want pretty much a desktop replacement that can still act as a normal notebook, then I definitely recommend it
