Alienware m17 review: a genuinely portable 17-inch gaming laptop
Launched back at CES, this 17-inch powerhouse from Alienware is able to deliver the goods for both gamers and content creators. The Alienware m17 squeezes a whole lot of power into a slimline chassis, taking the crown as the gaming brand's thinnest and lightest 17-inch laptop to date - weighing in at just 2.6kg and only 23mm thick. But you wouldn’t guess that from its fully loaded specs sheet.
Long ago now Alienware ditched its over-the-top style, and luminous green colourway, in favour of something a little more reserved. In fact, the company has distanced itself so greatly from its traditional druthers with its latest design language, Legend, that it now sits as one of the more svelte and grown-up of all the major gaming brands. The company has almost entirely ditched its famed alien head insignia altogether.
This more distinguished style pays dividends with the m17. This laptop is an awfully powerful machine for most gamers, which is fantastic if you have the cash to spare, but all that power also makes it a mighty tool in the hands of most professionals. With the growing prevalence of content creators, streamers, and part-time editors all requiring portable power, the seasoned design of the m17 makes for a sensible choice amongst a sea of red, green, and blue lights.
