For $1550, you will get 10th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-10750H processor, AMD Radeon™ RX 5500M 4GB GDDR6 graphics, 16GB RAM, 256GB storage, and the 17.3″ FHD (1920 x 1080) 144Hz 9ms display.

If you’re ready to splurge quite a bit, for $4000 your laptop will come with the 10th Generation Intel® Core™ i9-10980HK processor, NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2080 SUPER™ graphics, UHD 4K display, 4TB storage, and 32GB RAM. As you can tell by the specifications, you’ll be getting the cream of the crop, yet at a hefty price tag.

Design

Alienware continues to impress when it comes to laptop design. This model features sleek, elegant, almost intergalactic design that combines gamer aesthetics with a sophisticated, modern look. There’s a large glowing alien’s head in the top center of the lid with the number “17” printed on the lower-left corner. In the back, there’s a black vent that contains some key ports. 

Speaking of ports: Alienware m17 R3 packs more than enough. The majority of the ports are in the back where you’ll find a Thunderbolt 3 port, HDMI 2.0, a mini DisplayPort, the DC jack and a port for the Alienware Graphics Amplifier if you want a power boost. On the right, there are two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and a microSD card slot. On the left, you’ll find another USB 3.2 Type-A port with an Ethernet port and a headset jack.

The laptop is quite lightweight, weighing only at 6.6 pounds. It also has compact dimensions, making it very portable and an ideal desktop replacement. The speakers on this model have been upgraded from previous versions. The four-way (two woofers and two tweeters) speakers are supposed to deliver a 2.5x more bass and 2x more treble improvement, as well as 30% more loudness over the full audio range.

Display

Alienware m17 R3 comes with many display configurations, depending on your needs and how much you are willing to spend. Overall, the screen is fast and offers good quality in terms of colors, brightness, vibrancy, and contrast. If you go for more expensive options, you’ll certainly be amazed with sharp, smooth gaming.

Eye Tracking

Higher-end configurations of Alienware m17 R3 come with a unique feature: built-in Tobii eye tracking. The feature tracks the direction of your gaze with a combination of sensors and it can track where you’re looking on screen. For instance, when you look away from the screen, it recognizes that your eyes are not looking at it and dims the screen. When you look back at the screen, it registers it and everything returns to normal. It can also help in games by enabling all sorts of features or providing post-game analysis for competitive players.
