You are not even offered the battery for purchase. Further, I defy you to figure out how to order this second battery on the Alienware website. Obviously and unfortunately, this appears to be pure marketing hype. And they can’t even give me an expected delivery date. I ordered one three months ago and still haven’t gotten it. However, the second hard drive is pure vapor ware.

But over the past weekend, I received a complaint in my inbox that stated the following: “I own and it is a good computer as you say. Since all of our products are merely on loan for review, we sent the system back. Shortly thereafter, a BIOS fix was released, and we no longer saw down-clocking on our test rig. Within weeks, there were reports of cracking and down-clocking of the system’s GPU core clock and memory clock speeds from 500 MHz and 799 MHz to 275 MHz and 301 MHz, respectively, once the system had reached 90 degrees Celsius. But our benchmarks didn’t pick up on the troubles that were soon to follow its release. By the time we’d finished our review, on March 20, we awarded it our Editors' Choice, because it earned great benchmark scores compared with other gaming rigs that had come through our office. The m15x was greeted with open arms when it first arrived in our offices on February 19, 2008.
