  • Superb gaming performance, Great keyboard and trackpad, Excellent build quality, Attractive new design
  • Relatively short battery life, GPU switching can be finicky
  • Alienware's 2013 laptop refresh provides a great experience with few sacrifices. Battery life may not be best in class, but that won't stop you from enjoying the company's latest gaming rigs....

  • Abstract:  Nvidia added ShadowPlay support to Geforce Experience when they introduced the Geforce GTX 780 Ti. However at that time ShadowPlay lacked support for mobile Geforce GPUs. Support came with the mobile driver version 331.82 released on November 19. We tried...

  • Dell's Alienware 17 is highly configurable, looks a bit more sophisticated than previous incarnations, and still delivers excellent performance.
  • 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.
  • It's not as much of a conversation piece as the tank-like Alienware 18, but the slimmer, lighter Alienware 17 is arguably more practical for serious gamers with realistic budgets.

  • Very easy to upgrade and maintain, Superb build quality, Very good speakers, Outstanding performance
  • Software selection somewhat meager, GPU throttling under load, Display panel uses TN technology
  • The Alienwae 17 looks quite impressive in darker roomsGaming notebooks polarize opinions. Some think they are expensive, do not make a lot of sense, and are not fit for travel in the first place. Others like the usability a notebook is inherently more por...

  • I'm getting ahead of myself, though. First things first: the Alienware 17 represents the first major design change for Alienware in years. On the strength of the matte display, it's a net victory. The subtantial ridge at the edge of the chassis actually w...

  • Very Good 3D performance. Quad Core Haswell processor. 1080p screen. Cool lighting effects.
  • Big and Bulky. Expensive. Low battery life
  • The Alienware 17 is a little pricey, but it's a powerful imposing gaming rig that can be taken from room to room or to a friend's house. It will serve you well on the game grid....

  • Topnotch build quality, Good performance, Stunning display, Cool lighting effects
  • Expensive, Heavy, Bulky power brick
  • Sporting a fresh albeit familiar design and featuring the latest processor and graphics technology, the Alienware 17 is an excellent choice for a mid-range gaming notebook. Like most 17-inch gaming rigs, it's big and heavy. ...

  • Great design and lighting system, Excellent performance, Good keyboard and touchpad, Respectable battery life
  • Touchpad surface could be firmer
  • The Alienware 17 continues its tradition of all-around excellence in portable performance. There's almost nothing to dislike about this fifth-generation variant. The exterior has been redesigned with a slightly more mature appearance, better overall build...
