Alienware, a subsidiary of Dell since 2006, manufactures high-performance gaming laptop and desktop computers. Its systems, which emphasize graphics performance, are well known for their radical science-fiction-themed designs, mood lighting, and alien-head logos. The system’s names also often reflect the theme: Area-51, Hangar 18. It also sells matching peripherals.
There are 3 models of Alienware that can make your wish fulfilled:
- Alienware AW17R4-7003SLV-PUS 17″ Gaming Laptop
- Alienware AW17R4-7352SLV-PUS 17″ QHD Laptop
- Alienware AW17R4-7005SLV-PUS 17″ Laptop
Alienware was founded in 1996 by Nelson Gonzalez and Alex Aguila. The corporate headquarters is located near Miami, in The Hammocks, Fla. The company has approximately 490 employees. The Alienware 17 is still so big. Just staggeringly huge. With so many following Razer’s lead and slimming down to actual laptop size as opposed to so-called “desktop replacements” proportions, I keep expecting it to do the same. But no. Year after year, Alienware’s laptops remain gigantic—the better to disperse heat, and therefore utilize the full potential of all those expensive parts inside.
You’re paying for performance, you want that performance, and Alienware’s 17-inch laptop will give it to you. But it’s damn near impossible to haul anywhere, just sit in the table and it will give you the best performance.
Size aside, it’s quite a pretty machine. Alienware’s standard chrome-and-black color scheme is still one of a favorites—straddling the line between flashy and professional. It also has an eye for the small details, from its understated type-logo underneath the display to the row of macro keys unobtrusively arrayed to the left of the keyboard.
And if you love RGB LEDs, Alienware’s the competition to beat on that front. The keyboard is only zone-lit, which is a shame, but there are also RGB LED light strips embedded in both sides of the laptop and in the lid, as well as underneath the track pad. That last bit is weirdly useful—I like a backlit keyboard, so of course I’d appreciate a backlit track pad. The better to guide your fingers with. Again, flashy, but in that vaguely high-tech way only Alienware really attempts.
The display presents a tough choice for enthusiasts: The Alienware 17 comes in both 1440p and 4K models, but the 1440p version also boasts a 120Hz refresh rate and integrated G-Sync. In either case, you can also opt for integrated Tobii eye-tracking. It’s kind of novel navigating your desktop with your eyes. As for its use in gaming, there are a few high-profile titles like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, but it’s far from pervasive.
Worthy of the “desktop replacement”moniker.
Excellent performance even under full load.
Display comes in 1440p/120Hz and 4K variants
Cons-
Tons of fan noise despite larger size
Extra-large hinge/vent area makes an enormous laptop even more so.
Some of the lower-tier models make baffling choices (like only 8GB of RAM)
There are rough edges. Zone backlighting is a bit outdated, the fans are loud, battery life is average, and the extra inch-plus of venting adds insult to injury in terms of the Alienware 17’s size. I’d love to see it branch out and bring its unique aesthetic to a thin, lightweight Max-Q laptop one of these days.
