Ardjuna takes a look at the first mobile quad-core notebook we've seen. Can this and the M17's ATI CrossFire X graphics deliver gaming nirvana?

there aren't many laptops out there that offer it.

Alienware M17x 2012 review

 

Gaming goliath that now boasts an Intel Ivy Bridge quad-core chip

Ivy Bridge CPU ; Powerful ; Future-proof ; Surround sound ; Slick gaming

Expensive ; Heavy ; Bulky ; Poor battery life ; Garish

Alienware is back with a bang - with a threefold attack on the PC gaming arena. Along with the M14x and the M18x, the Alienware M17x R4 has had an Intel Ivy Bridge-flavoured refresh for 2012.

Alienware M17x review

 

Despite that, the M17x is well-designed and comfortable to use when you're settling in for a long gaming session. The large screen provides full-HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, with excellent image quality – although the glossy, reflective screen coating...

Alienware M17x review

 

Alienware's M17x is a supersized beast in an Ultrabook world. Can it prove there's still a need for the desktop replacement laptop?

Alienware M17 review

 

When we think of Alienware PCs, two words come to mind - and 'cheap' usually isn't one of them. This boutique game machine maker creates premium packages with premium prices. For an Alienware laptop, the Alienware M17 is priced within a reasonable...

That gripe aside, those who want to get their game on will get a good deal out of the Alienware m17 - especially considering the price. As a gaming machine, the Alienware M17 delivers speed where it counts, but it lags a little in more conventional...

The Alienware M17x is one of the most powerful laptops on the planet. It features graphics performance that puts most PCs to shame, and you can easily play the latest games on the move. Just don't plan on travelling too far, as it's also one of the...

We like the Alienware M17x. If you're looking for a gaming laptop, then few choices are better than this. It's amazingly well made, powerful, well-specced and comfortable. It's just not that portable. Alienware M17x is tagged with Alienware M17x,...
