#ALIENWARE SOFTWARE ALIENAUTOPSY BLUETOOTH#
Connectivity options include 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. Most of the changes are internal: the M17x R4 now sports a 2.6GHz Core i7-3720QM processor, couples its meager 500GB hard drive with a 32GB mSATA solid state cache, and adds the 28nm Nvidia GeForce GTX 680M GPU. The power adapter connects through the rear, keeping it out of the way. The right side hosts the slot-loading Blu-ray player, a multi-format card reader, another pair of USB 3.0 ports, an eSATA / USB combo port, and HDMI input. On the left, you'll find the Gigabit ethernet port, a VGA port, Mini DisplayPort and HDMI-out slots, a pair of USB 3.0 ports, jacks for headphones, headsets, and microphones, and a S/PDIF jack. The port selection hasn't changed since last year's model. The edge-to-edge glass is interrupted by rubber bumpers sitting on the edge of the display, which lend the screen a bit of cushioning when you're shutting the lid. The lid's hinges are a bit stiff, but it opens to reveal that large, attractive display. The lid and palmrest are encased in a soft-touch rubber material, making them both comfortable and easy to hold. One could also accuse the machine of being unsightly, but I actually find it rather attractive: there are lights (and I love lights) but the effects are as tasteful or gaudy as you want them to be. It's large: the model I reviewed is 1.75 inches thick, and weighs 10.6 pounds.
The 17.3-inch Alienware M17x hasn't changed all that much over the last few years.
