The Sentia m3200 is Alienware’s newly released, thinnest and lightest model in their line of notebooks. What’s interesting is its Instant-On feature, which allows the user to instantly boot into multimedia feature with a press of a button. This is especially great for geeks like myself that has tons of stuffs running on startup, making the normal boot-up process such a drag.
Some features:
- Intel Pentium M or Celeron M processor
- 12.1” wide-screen LCD with ClearView technology
- Weighs 4lbs (1.8kg)
- Up to 4 hours of battery life
- One PCI-Express slot
- Built-in 4-in-1 media card reader
- Instant-On feature allows you to immediately watch DVDs and video, listen to music, view digital photos, and more
The default low-end configuration, costs a mere US$989. Available at Alienware’s official website.

An excellent and very cheap buy (Sentiaâ„¢ m3200). Its a must have! Plays just about all the good games that are out there right now. But if your looking to play DOOM then this pc isnt good for you. Or it might be :P. You can always put in more memory for the PCI slot thats included in this model. If you bought this already you can always add more to it by configering. Make sure you call alienware on the phone if your not too sure on what to buy. Make sure you make the smart choice on how much money you really want to spend on it. I’ve already spent over 1000 on this thing.

Take it from someone who made the mistake of getting this laptop: AVOID THIS MACHINE!
I have had more problems with this computer in the short time I’ve had it than with any other laptop I’ve ever had, or any one I know has ever had. My hard drive has failed, my sound card has started messing up the sound, etc. The Alienware tech support is probably the worst in the industry, making you hold for over an hour each and every time you call (and you will have to call a lot) and then dispensing really bad information and suggestions. Twice, customer service reps have told me outright lies–about receiving a replacement hard drive, and about issuing me a refund for a charging error.
Oh, and using the laptop is not too great either. It’s not quite powerful enough to play today’s games, and the battery life craps out after a little more than two hours. And when its plugged in (which it’ll have to be because of the battery life) the loud-as-a-vacuum fan is on the time.
I really made a mistake when I got this machine–don’t make the same mistake I did!

Sounds like a really bad experience. Thanks for sharing it with us.
