Owning an Alienware is like belonging to an exclusive club that outsiders will never understand. There’s something about an Alienware machine that makes you lose focus. From the intricate styling to the incredible performance, Alienware is the lapto...

Abstract: Compartido 91 Veces Uno de nuestros favoritos de este año, es el Alienware M17x , el más nuevo equipo tope de linea de Dell y el computador portátil que se jacta de ser el más rápido del planeta, que pretende ganarse el corazón de los amantes de los vide...
Dell a choisi un cocktail de composants à la hauteur du prix de sa machine. Toutefois, des concurrents comme Asus ou encore MSI proposent des machines sensiblement similaires vendues des prix inférieures. De plus, on apprécierait que Dell fasse évoluer le...
Performances du processeur, Carte graphique puissante, Connectique riche (USB 3.0, eSATA, entrée HDMI), Bonne gestion de la température, Clavier et touchpad agréables à l'usage, Sorties audio et haut-parleurs de bonne qualité
Écran de qualité médiocre (Dalle TN brillante aux couleurs fausses et faiblement contrastée)
Ce 17,3 pouces est très performant, propose une connectique riche, une belle finition et se montre très capable dans les jeux. Alienware a toutefois négligé un détail crucial, l'écran, qui est ici très mauvais et justifie la perte de deux étoiles. ...
Abstract: La dernière version du portable 17 pouces d'Alienware apporte encore son lot de surprises, bonnes et mauvaises. On retrouve évidemment un look d'une autre planète, typique de la marque, qui n'a pas perdu son identité après son rachat par Dell. Alien...

Abstract: Alors que le phénomène de mode de cette rentrée 2008 se porte sur les Netbook, ces portables ultra-compacts proposés à des tarifs abordables, nous avons aujourd’hui le plaisir de vous proposer en exclusivité française, le test d’une machine située tota...
Matériel très haut de gamme, Performances, Equipement très exhaustif
Design mastoc et peu original
Linconvénient avec les portables très haut de gamme armés comme des porte-avions est que den parler revient à sextasier sur leur fiche technique. A linstar de ce que peux faire Hummer avec ses voitures tank surpuissantes, Alienware propose à nouvea...
L'Alienware M17x R4 si è dimostrata la macchina perfetta per il videogiocatore che ha bisogno di spostare la propria piattaforma di gioco in più posti. Le prestazioni sarebbero al top in una comparativa fra prodotti desktop, figuriamoci in una sfida fra n...
