Alienware m17 R2 review: A 17-inch showstopper?

 

The m17 R2 is the 17-inch alternative to the m15, delivering huge specs and performance in a slender body. But is it style over substance?

Doesn't run too hot when gaming ; Tobii eye-tracking (on some models) ; Various wide-ranging specification choices ; Cool lines and pleasing aesthetics

Less screen options than we'd like (15-inch model has higher resolution and faster refresh options) ; High price

The Alienware m17 R2 is a potential show-stopper. It's a powerful, lightweight and easy-on-the-eye gaming laptop that packs a punch - and does it with class and style you won't see much elsewhere.

Alienware m17 review: A surprisingly subtle gaming powerhouse

 

The m17 doesn't have the gaudy looks you'd expect from Alienware, but it has the power you're after.

The Alienware m17 can be configured with a uber-powerful Nvidia RTX 2080 Max-Q graphics card. It's significantly lighter than the company's preview 17-inch model and it's got a more subtle design.

Battery life is poor and a thin body means less ventilation and much more heat.

Alienware's m17 makes respectably few design sacrifices despite cramming huge power into a relatively thin frame.

Alienware m17 (2019)

 

The Alienware m17 gets excellent performance from high-end parts, but with a merely okay build and power matched by less-expensive machines, the value proposition is questionable—especially at the lofty price of our review unit.

Strong general and gaming performance. Sleek design. Highly configurable at time of ordering. Decent battery life for the category. 1TB of speedy SSD storage.

Overpriced in this configuration. Components not suited to gaming on its 4K screen. Build is underwhelming for this price.

Bottom Line: The Alienware m17 gets excellent performance from high-end parts, but with a merely okay build and power matched by less-expensive machines, the value proposition is questionable—especially at the lofty price of our review unit.
