  • Quando ci si trova di fronte a prodotti top di gamma come l’Alienware M17X le considerazioni da fare sono abbastanza semplici e scontate. Questo notebook più che un desktop replacement è una vera e propria alternativa rivolta alla fascia high-end dei g...

  • Prestazioni da record in tutti i settori e capacità di sostituire del tutto il desktop anche per giocare. Dotazione accessoria eccellente, soluzioni di modding e personalizzazione uniche e ottima qualità costruttiva.
  • Sarebbe stata gradita la presenza dellunità Bluray al posto del masterizzatore DVD standard.
