Abstract: Launched back at CES, this 17-inch powerhouse from Alienware is able to deliver the goods for both gamers and content creators. The Alienware m17 squeezes a whole lot of power into a slimline chassis, taking the crown as the gaming brand's thinnest and li...
While some things have changed compared to an Alienware laptop you could pick up two years ago, the latest m17 still demands a slightly bonkers price tag. The difference today, though, is that not only are you getting a capable gaming machine that can man...
Even in the entry level Alienware M17, the specs really are out of this world. We love the HDMI port to hook up to a HDTV and optional Blu-ray, while the Intel processor, dual or quad core, moves at almost light speed. Yeah, we know that's actually a...

The Alienware M17 is an impressive piece of machinery, with a quad core processor, DDR3 ram and crossfire graphics all packed into a relatively attractive shell. Now, I know this 17 inch chassis isn’t something you will see being pumped out of Apple...
That gripe aside, those who want to get their game on will get a good deal out of the Alienware m17 - especially considering the price. As a gaming machine, the Alienware M17 delivers speed where it counts, but it lags a little in more conventional of...
Abstract: We weren't too impressed with the last Alienware product we looked at, its Area-51 Gaming PC , but the company's last notebook that passed through our test-beds, the Alienware Area-51 m15x , won a glowing review and a Recommended Award. Today we're lookin...
