Spartan, you are one lucky guy

What do you think about the overall quality?

What concerns me the most is the build quality of the hinges, have alienware learned anything from the previous m11x and m15.

Also, what is your impression of the ventilation fan? of what ive read in the early reviews there was an issue with the fan kicking off quite loudly, even when the machine was in idle. Alienware promised that it vould be fixed by upgrading the firmware.

Well this is my first Alienware, the build quality is great but I'm upgrading from a crappy plastic HP. The hinges seem sturdy, but we need the opinion of someone who has had the hinge problem before to be certain.

I'll post some shots of the m14x compared to my 13inch and 17inch hp later on

With regards to the fan, this seems to be fixed, on idle I have 0 fan noise

Spartan, that sounds great.

I know this isnt a big issue, but ive also read that it might get rather hot the spot where you rest your hand since the HDD should be positioned beneath. is that anything that you have noticed?

Well I haven't tested any games yet, but when I had a film on the right hand side would get warm, not uncomfortable at all. The left side is very very cool!
