After being an owner of a x875 for over a year i have some issues with it compared to other gaming laptops. (Alienware m17x R4 currently) It looks ok from the outside, but the whole bottom is plastic. 1. There is only 1 Fan to cool both Gpu and Cpu. 1 pipe for each, Gpu is fine. Cpu gets too hot. (on the X75 they made the sink much smaller for the Gpu; less heat on the top cover. 2 pipes Gpu tho) 2. The top aluminium cover gets hot on the right hand side. 3. The fan exhaust is on the right side 4. Weak hinges, weak hinge mountings. 5. No easily available unlocked bios. Pros: 1. Very good sounding speakers from Harman Kardon 2. Fairly fast 3. Looks good with the illuminated keyboard. 4. Not overly large 5. 3D vision able with full HD 120hz screen and (very important) only 1 motherboard can run it. Im not surprised there is not a lof of content around for this Laptop, not exactly a tweakers dream.
