  • With its GTX 960M, the Core i7 processor and Full HD matte display, the Alienware 13 proves a good gaming machine, especially as it enjoys a compact format. Still we would have appreciated a slightly lower weight, less bulky charger and less high temperat...

  • The Alienware 13 is a compact yet very powerful laptop, suited to playing all modern Windows games. It's chunky thick but relatively light in weight, and has been well designed and equipped to be a premium yet still portable powerhouse....

  • Abstract:  The Alienware 13 is the latest and one of the smallest fully-fledged gaming laptops from the PC maker, and what it lacks in size, it certainly makes up for in grunt - and it's future proof too. Starting from £899, is this Dell and Alienware's best gaming ...

  • Abstract:  Which to go for - the desktop mega rig for graphically intense sessions, or a hardcore laptop for on-the-go gaming? How about a solution combining the best of both? That's the approach of the Alienware 13 gaming laptop. Use as a mobile gaming machine, the...

  • Flexible pricing, Super slim, Alienware Graphics Amplifier hookup, Cool LEDs
  • Intel Haswell U processor, Nvidia 860M GPU, Amplifier is extra
  • The Alienware 13, when it ships in December, will have a lot of firsts for Alienware. First and foremost, it's the first 13-inch gaming laptop from Dell - an interesting statistic as Alienware, the gaming arm of Dell, isn't exactly new to the scene. The A...

  • I'm not entirely sure. The idea of taking all my games on the go, then coming home and plugging them into a desktop graphics card, monitor, mouse, and keyboard sounds pretty fantastic. But the Alienware 13 is still pretty chunky and still lacks the batter...

  • Very good build quality, Unique looks, Comfortable keyboard + touchpad
  • Not the best performer, Expensive
  • The Alienware 13 is good performer but it loses out to couple of sub-100k laptops, like the Lenovo Y50 and ASUS X550JK. The laptop will perform better with an external GPU, which can be used via the Alienware Graphics Amplifier, which again requires you t...
