![]() ![]() Usually revision changes involve some pretty minor design differences, but in the case of the Alienware 17, the changes are a little more significant. I’d recommending using two though, just in case. It’s well balanced though and can be picked up with one hand, if you’re strong enough. There’s a significant weight bump from last year, which is likely due to a slightly bigger battery and the added thermal components. In the hands, it feels very solid and high quality, albeit kind of heavy. Like the prior revision, Dell chooses to use a combination of metal and plastic for the chassis and overall design. Update: Here are our thoughts on the updated m-series lineups, the Alienware m18 and m16 laptops.

And what about that new 120Hz QHD screen with Tobii eye tracking? Read on below and hopefully I’ll answer all of your questions. Alienware was trying to do what many other laptop manufacturers have been ignoring: supply a fully powered desktop GPU in their laptop design. I was a little taken back at the added weight and the increased bulkiness, but I also understood why it was so. So now this year, I had the opportunity to try out the 4 th revision of the Dell Alienware 17. I ultimately went back to a thinner design with the MSI GS73VR, but I certainly enjoyed using the Alienware 17 while I had it. On top of that, the screen was top notch and the sound system was really good for a gaming laptop. Sure it was heavy too, but the amount of power it had in it made me overlook the bulkiness a little. ![]()
