A laptop, also known as a notebook, is a portable computer. When you are looking for the right laptop, it is important to know where you are going to work with it. Do you want to use it on the road? Choose a model with a special energy-saving 'mobile' processor, a good battery and a reasonably small display. This will allow you to work longer with the same battery and saves you the trouble of carrying around a large display that consumes a lot of precious battery power. Or will you be using you laptop mainly in places where you will have access to a power outlet? Then choose a desktop processor (more processing power for less money) and an ordinary battery. This will save you a lot of money, which you could then spend on a bigger screen. You'll work faster because you can view more information at once and it's great for multimedia!

Engineered to wreak havoc.
Alienware's most powerful 17" gaming laptop is designed for the most immersive VR and now has options for the revolutionary Tobii eye tracking, bringing you deeper in the game than ever before.

Designed for VR.
Dive into mind-bending virtual reality experiences with a VR-ready system that passes the Oculus Ready and Vive Optimized certifications.

Powered by NVIDIA VRWorks technology, a new level of presence is achieved by bringing physically realistic visuals, sound, touch interactions, and simulated environments to virtual reality. And with NVIDIA GeForce 10-series graphics, the Alienware 17 goes beyond what’s expected.

Higher performance inside and out.
Built with premium materials and the latest components, the Alienware 17 is the ultimate evolution in portable gaming technology. Utilizing magnesium alloy for rigidity, copper for better performance and steel for tactile comfort, it features a high-quality design for high-performance gaming. And with support for up to NVIDIA GTX 1080* or AMD Radeon RX 470 graphics, overclocked CPUs at 4.1GHz, and overclockable DDR4 system memory capable of up to 2667 MHz, you can experience gaming on a whole new level.

A revolutionary new way to use your PC.
Tobii eye tracking enables new gameplay functions for a completely unique user experience. Let your eyes be the controller and lose yourself in the game.

Realistic gaming functions: Armed with new knowledge about your presence, eye movement and corresponding head movement, Tobii eye-tracking enhanced games, including Tom Clancy’s The Division, Watchdogs II and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, allow you to input commands that are more in-tune to real life. Aim at where you look, signal teammates with a glance and navigate a cockpit freely.

System intelligence: Armed with more information about you, including your attention and position in front of the notebook, your machine can now optimize power usage and even trigger more advanced security profiles. A groundbreaking new feature exclusive to Alienware machines.

Game coaching: With new exclusive Overwolf apps, replay your gaze pattern and see where you went wrong. Learn from your mistakes, find new opportunities and crush the competition.

Windows Hello: A revolutionary HD resolution camera with an IR sensor and facial recognition technology allows you to log in with just a look.

Nothing between you and gaming.

Witness the difference an expansive 17-inch LCD screen can make with supported FHD, QHD and UHD resolution options – all with anti-glare finish.

The 17" QHD 120Hz display is designed to deliver the smoothest gaming experience with 4ms response time, wide viewing angles, 400 nits of brightness, and NVIDIA G-Sync technology on select modules. NVIDIA G-Sync delivers the smoothest a fastest experience ever thanks to its ability to synchronize display refresh rates to the GPU in your GeForce GTX-powered PC, eliminating screen tearing and minimizing both display stutter and input lag.

Meticulously designed to deliver a knockout performance.
An innovative hinge-forward design brings the thermal shelf to the rear, enabling a variety of improved benefits – like a thinner design, better ventilation, higher quality sound and external ports organization – to stand out for an incredible gaming experience.

Built to impress.
With an upgraded Alienware TactX keyboard, N key rollover is now supported, enabling over 108-key commands for maximum actions per minute on a notebook with 2.2mm of key travel, allowing for rapid response for any key stroke.

Designed to keep cool.
Higher maximum thermal design power (TDP) support means that your system can handle a higher total wattage for internal components, enabling a higher level of performance. With the entire ventilation system upgraded, your system can stay cool even under extreme graphics pressure.

Hear every battle cry.
Due to the upgraded design, a larger and more effective speaker box has been installed, improving audio output for a clearer and more dramatic gaming experience.

Clear the desktop & the board.
Avoid excess cables and embrace the “desktop mode” design, where most of your critical connections and ports are in the back and out of the way.

Tech gamers need.

The Alienware 17 has been upgraded to give gamers the tools they need to be the best.

Killer™ Wireless: Killer DoubleShot™ Pro provides a networking setup that prioritizes internet traffic and data stream to the applications most important to you.

Alienware Graphics Amplifier support: Enables future proofing of upgradeable full length, dual-wide graphics and additional 4-port USB 3.0 hub for added peripherals.

Thunderbolt Type-C port: A multi-use port ready to be used as a USB 3.1 port, offering 10Gbps of data transfer, a Thunderbolt connection capable of 40Gbps, or even a Display Port enabling various monitors supporting the DP protocol.

Longer battery life: The Alienware 17 contains a 68 Whr battery with an optional 99 Whr lithium-ion battery. We offer the maximum amount of battery power legally allowed with the 99 Whr battery– storing and delivering the most amount of power found in any notebook battery for longer uninterrupted gameplay.

Solid-state drive: An SSD brings several benefits to the system, including faster boot time, shock and vibration protection, better speed and capacity, and much more.

Solid-state drives (SSDs) make virtually no noise and have less failures because they have no moving parts. A quieter system means you can better pinpoint every footstep your enemy makes.

AlienFX: New AlienFX lighting uses improved light guides that are optimized to deliver more luminance and brilliant colors.

If there's any gaming laptop as recognizable year-to-year as Razer's Blade line, it's probably Alienware's. Following a redesign a few years back, the humbly named Alienware 17 has stayed pretty much the same ever since, at least on the outside.And you kn...
Good Worthy of the "desktop replacement" moniker, Excellent performance even under full load, Display comes in 1440p/120Hz and 4K variants...
Bad 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)...
Bottom line 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 Alienware branch out and bring its unique...

Bigger, faster, louder. It's not often that a notebook gains weight and girth in successive generations. In this case, the new Alienware 17 R4 utilizes the extra space wisely for an overall stronger experience that more than makes up for the added mass...

Bad very warm CPU and GPU temperatures when gaming, fans are always active and very loud when gaming, slight creaking when opening and closing the lid, fewer internal storage bays compared to 17 R3, fingerprints and grease accumulate quickly, no individually...
Bottom line We revere the Alienware 17 series for its high standards in quality that thankfully remain unfazed in this latest iteration. A notebook is about much more than just the CPU and GPU configuration, but also the skeleton and design that fortify the core hard...

The build is still very well made, with strong aluminium surrounding the top and bottom of the R4 and a tough matte black rubberised plastic for rest of the bezel and frame. It looks really nice and would fit in well for gamers who love the “gamer” look w...
