M17x single weight was 5.2 Kg, and the cause of it amazing weight besides the volume of the 17 inches, fuselage shell parts adopt anodic alumina materials is the important reason. We know that the material of the outer shell of the notebook PC is mainly in three kinds of materials, ABS plastic, aluminum magnesium alloy and carbon fiber, and the anodic alumina material is rare.

Anodic alumina material make the M17x shell excellent abrasion resistance. At the same time, the head of anodic alumina materials also improves the M17x pressure resistance, in the boot state we hard to coping cover part, but on the screen not see any trace of water ripple.

In the central part of the top cover has a top-down implementation of the roof of a raised line and the raised line will not only cover organic is divided into two parts, the more important role is to effectively alleviate the whole anodic alumina material cap weight on the screen of the pressure. Whether it is black or silver version of the m17x, top of the anodic alumina material use grind arenaceous design, it will not only increase the hand feeling, also effectively avoid the slip phenomenon appears when the mobile user's hand. Of course, M17x designers in order to better avoid hand sliding phenomenon in the bottom half of the top of the design of a plastic hand pad, the user can better grasp the product in the mobile product.

In the M17x cover part cannot be ignored is the LOGO, which is the whole Alienware series of signs.

The Logo material is not use ordinary plastic, but use aluminum magnesium alloy metal, especially in the night was significantly more dazzling when use this notebook.

The body of the lighting effects has become a clear identification of personalized gaming notebook computer, such as ASUS G Series, gateway FPX series, HP HDX series has a very personalized body light effect. So as a personalized game notebook M17x nature will not lack the lights effect.

Like the ASUS G series, users can also change M17x lighting effects. M17x's lighting effects are mainly concentrated in the top cover Logo, keyboard & mouse and audio power, while the control is DELL's AlienFX LITE software. Using AlienFX LITE software users are free to change the three regions total of 10 small area of the color. Here is first described in the cover logo and operation platform at the top of the logo, AlienFX LITE software also provides users can choose the mode power supply and battery mode under different colors, which is conducive to the user to determine the m17x is connected to the power supply.

In addition, AlienFX LITE software is divided the m17x operation platform into eight small region, which is not only includes in the top of the keyboard alien logo, the bottom of the screen "Alienware”, shortcut keys, touchpad mouse, and also divided the keyboard area into four parts. Users can according to their own preferences set these regions, especially the keyboard area. Due to the keyboard area of the m17x is quite large, and users will use the all action game operation often, so the clearly light color is not only make the products more cool, and let users in a tense game can easily resolution keyboard area.

M17x and did not use nowadays most popular sinking type screen shaft design, instead of using the more conservative mid screen shaft, thereby strengthening the intensity of occlusion between the screen and the fuselage. After the actual use, can feel due to the weight of the lower part of the fuselage is huge, we can single hand open the m17x cover, but when close, the best is gently hands cover to folding screen, not single hand press top cover, this will made cover and body closure caused a striking sound, and the impact on the screen is too large.
