Alienware x17

, (, sighs ). So then, in almost every way the Alienware x17 is the best gaming laptop money can buy., And you can tell your friends all about the key...

But What Alienware has done with cooling here is still impressive, even if the CPU regularly gets close to 100 degrees.

MacBook is no option because it can't game well (despite the price point which is just ridiculous). The options are either a Alienware X17, Lenovo Legion 7 or MSI GE76 Raider. You can't go wrong on either of them but since you said your son will only keep it on his desk and for streaming he'll likely have multiple monitors just get him a desktop. It's just the much better option for a streamer.

This is a tough review for me, as the PC is great with everything so far, except for the massive problem of two keys on the keyboard not working right out the box. One of them being the enter key. For the cost of this PC, the expectation is that it works great out the box. I do however understand th...

I returned the laptop today since I was having too many issues. My expectations of the laptop was very high but I was never really wowed when I was actually using it(currently using an Alienware 17 r4 gtx 1080 1440p 120hz monitor 32 gig ram).

Build quality: Alienware X17(Chassis is as rigid as a Macbooks, I've owned several Macbooks before). Unfortunately, the 3080 configs of the Alienware X17 aren't for sale currently. Dell is having supply chain issues currently. The Clevo X170KM-G is another option but it looks ghastly.

Alienware did it. Its latest 17.3-inch X17 gaming laptop can actually deliver an enjoyable 4K gaming experience.

The last time I checked in on how laptops were faring with 4K gaming i...

Alienware X17- No MUX switch on QHD or 4k displays- 10-20% performance hit unless you go with FHD screen. I don't recommend FHD as 3080 in most games can handle QHD. Odd throttling behavior- most of these struggle to even hit 12k Timespy and won't allow much more than 200w between CPU and GPU total so the performance simply is not anything like the Legion 7 or MSI.

THE 3060 17 INCH AS FAR AS I XAN TELL THE MOUSE PAD DOESNT LIGHT UP EVEN THOUGH IT SPECIFICALLY SHOWS A PICTURE OF IT LIGHTING UP kind OF REALLY ANNOYING me actaully other then thet the graphics are amazing fast really bad battery life but i keep mine plugged in and run overclock half the time still...
