The editors didn't like
Big and Bulky. Expensive. Low battery life
You probably don't really want a programmable lightshow for your laptop. No dual-GPU options
And battery life isn't going to help much with on-the-go gaming.
Pricey. Limited portability. Battery is sealed in chassis
Bulky and heavy
Runs hot and loud
Unreliable touch pad
Expensive
Heavy
Muddy audio quality
Runs hot
While it performed well
We rated it a 4 on performance as this was an older model and expect the newer models would be able to handle max settings on all our test games
Power and performance (CPU graphics), Sound quality, Connectivity, Low heat
Colour fidelity = fail, Touchpad a little cramped
With such high-level graphics and processing capability, plus amazing sound quality, the Alienware 17 would have everything it needs in its arsenal to fully immerse gamers in their games. If only it weren't for the screen's colours, which are just all ove...

Power, power and more power, Big 1080p screen, Decent battery life
LED-heavy styling, Not really portable, No 4k
Complaining about the size and weight of the Alienware 17 is missing the point, really – this laptop is all about no-compromise gaming, and in this it excels.OK, so the styling won't be to everyone's tastes and it's a long way from cheap, but if fragging ...
If money is no issue, the Dell Alienware 17 is certainly one that we will recommend to those who want no compromise even when it comes to a mobile gaming machine. Its wide array of customizable options is also sure to get gamers excited as well.(previous...

Abstract: Dell's Alienware laptops are among the most powerful gaming machines money can buy - if you can afford them. Compared with the mammoth Alienware 18 that I tried almost two years ago, the new Alienware 17 is a svelte and lean machine. The former was 5.5kg...
