The editors didn't like

  • Short battery life despite the huge 99Wh battery
  • Thanks to the lack of NVIDIA Optimus support
  • Only the QHD configuration comes with G-Sync support
  • Overclocking is possible only through BIOS and third-party software
  • The CPU's stock clock speeds are low
  • Though slim the weight is very high at 10 pounds. Fans are a little louder than the 17" competition
  • Expensive
  • 9
  • 7-pound weight and 2
  • 5-pound power brick are not travel friendly
  • Short battery life
  • Loud fans under heavy load
  • Fans are loud while gaming
  • CPU runs hot under extended load
  • No SD card reader
  • Tons of fan noise despite larger size
  • Extra-large hinge/vent area makes an enormous laptop even more so
  • Some of the lower-tier models make baffling choices (like only 8GB of RAM)
  • The fans are loud and seem like they're always on
  • Battery life doesn't impress
  • Could use more USB connectors and Alienware doesn't make it easy to tweak or monitor performance
  • Can get noisy under full-load
  • Tobii Eye-Tracking technology needs refinement
  • Palm rest still gets pretty smudgy
  • Can get quite loud when the fan kicks in
  • Battery life still an issue while playing games (as expected)

  • Fans are always active and very loud when gaming
  • Slight creaking when opening and closing the lid
  • Fewer internal storage bays compared to 17 R3
  • Fingerprints and grease accumulate quickly
  • No individually

  • Wir verbinden die Laptops der Alienware-17-Serie mit sehr hohen Qualitätsstandards, was sich auch bei der neuesten Generation nicht geändert hat. Bei einem Notebook geht es um mehr als nur den Prozessor sowie die Grafikkarte, denn auch die Verarbeitung un...

  • Не обманывайте себя. Новый Alienware 17, ноутбук для немногих. Тем не менее, в отличие от других мощных машин для игроков, ему действительно можно позавидовать. Это один из немногих продуктов, в которых есть плюсы не только в спецификациях, но в характери...
