Good Points
Awesome design
Brilliant performance for a laptop
Play all games in full settings without lag
General computer performance is outstanding
Customisability is amazing
I absolutely love it, cannot use any other laptop after using an alienware
Bad Points
The bad points are obvious and to be expected.

- HEAVY - But who cares, this is a gaming laptop, not something you take with you very day and certianly not too heavy to put on my lap if I feel like it.

Battery life isn't great I get 1.5 hours but I don't care because I don't expect it to be portable, my iPad is what I use for general web browsing as I don't need the power of my Alienware for general stuff.

    Conclusion: We like Alienware’s special-edition Nebula Red finish, in spite of our notions about alien spacecraft always being grey (since uncharged paint stays behind during transdimensional shifts). Of course, we wouldn't even bother discussing the finish...

    Summary: Well, I did it. After years of putting up with playing games on an under-strength and over-worked laptop, I've finally taken the plunge, saved up the pennies and splashed out on a gaming-specific laptop; Dell's Alienware M17x is, quite simply, a beast...

    Conclusion: There is one reason why I bought the Dell Alienware M17x, and one reason only; gaming. I saved for a considerable amount of time for it and if you can afford to do the same, or even buy it outright – and love your PC games – then I can thoroughly...
