Current Games:

Bioshock
[First Level]

* Resolution 1280x1024, Detail Presets at "high" - ca. 56fps
* Resolution 1920x1200, Detail Presets at "high" - ca. 25fps still rather well playable. Flickers at fast turnings.

Medal of Honor Airborne Demo
[Singleplayer-Demo]

* Resolution 1280x1024, everything "high" - ca. 30fps
* Resolution 1920x1080, everything "high" - ca.15fps only playable with clear restrictions

The enormous demand on hardware of Bioshock and the brand-new Medal of Honor shocks. A better result might only be possible with a more powerful processor. Also the 3dMark results indicate that the CPU is indeed the clear bottleneck of this configuration. Still, we measured the highest 3dMark06 points so far. And also the Fear points impress. All current games can be played with maximum details, but, not all the time with the maximum resolution of the panel.

Our Alienware came with Windows XP, which is at the time of writing the only way to utilize both video cards, because Vista still does not support SLI.
Emissions

Loudness

Despite being optimized for performance this notebook's noise level is still surprisingly low. This gets most evident in idle mode, where the notebook's noise is very decent.

Not surprisingly the noise rises under load, but still it's not a problem for the user. Although, the noise is clearly audible and present, it does not compromise fun during playing exciting games.

Loudness
Idle 32.5 / 32.5 / 33.8 dB
HDD 33.3 dB
DVD 40.0 dB
Load 39.3 / 42.1 dB

Temperature

Here the Alienware gave us a real surprise. Whilst the maximum at the bottom is 50°C, a high, but appropriate result considering the performance, the palm rest areas attract by an average of 30°C. Because one won't likely use the Alienware of 4 kilo weight on the lap, this is indicates a good thermal design. Furthermore, all the waste heat is emitted at the back side, so neither left nor right hander are disturbed.

Temperatures on the top
Ball of hand max.: 31.2°C Top max.: 34.7°C Average: 32°C

Temperatures on the bottom
Bottom max.: 50°C Average: 38°C Hotspot:
Room Temperature: 25.0°C

Speaker

The sound of the two stereo speakers at the front side and of the sub-woofer at the bottom side convinces and is brilliant considering it is a notebook. Only the sonority could be better.

The sound output of the 3.5mm stereo port and the surround sound is clear and without any point of critique.

Battery Runtime

Alienware m9750

The battery runtime of this notebook should not really influence the purchase decision of potential prospects. More or less it provides a continues power supply even in case of an outage. Or to be able to carry the turned-on notebook from one socket to another. At full load the battery runtime is less than one hour. No wonder, it has to support two video cards, two hard disks and a 17" display.

Battery runtime
Idle, min. brightness, no WLAN: 103 minutes
Full-load, max brightness, WLAN: 54 minutes
Internet surfing, adapted brightness, WLAN: 71 minutes
DVD, max brightness, no WLAN: 69 minutes

Current consumption
Idle 94.4 / 95.6 / 106.2 Watt
Load 148 / 152.3 Watt
