  • Like all Alienware products, the 13 is pricey and a bit of a novelty, but it also performs incredibly well for a mid to high-end 13 inch gaming machine, and is easily one of my favourite mobile options to date...

  • Abstract:  When it comes to playing games, I've always preferred consoles to computers. Building (or buying ) a custom gaming rig can be fun, but I need a dedicated laptop. And gaming laptops can definitely bring the power, but often with a size and battery-life tra...

  • Flexible pricing, Super slim, Alienware Graphics Amplifier hookup, Cool LEDs
  • Intel Haswell U processor, Nvidia 860M GPU, Amplifier is extra
  • I see a lot of potential in the Alienware 13. As a standalone laptop without the Amplifier, you've got a solid rig that should play games like Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor at a respectable 60 frames per second while live streaming on Twitch. Add an ext...

  • OLED display is gorgeous, Built-in speakers are surprisingly good
  • Performance doesn't quite live up to the price-tag, Design as bulky as it is rugged
  • As incredible as the OLED display looks, the Alienware 13 doesn't quite deliver the performance needed to justify the premium price...

  • Has enough power for gaming, Strong and attractive design, Small and not overly heavy
  • Poor touchpad, SSD write speed relatively slow
  • Buy this laptop if you're looking for a portable, neatly designed model that can be used effectively for gaming. At the same time, you can consider it as a main overall gaming system due to its ability to take advantage of desktop-class graphics processin...
