Alienware x17 R2
3.5/5
May 31, 2022Pros
- Thin design with unique sci-fi style
- Powerful gaming performance via GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and 12th Gen Core i9
- Pleasing customizable per-key and chassis lighting
- Satisfying optional Cherry MX mechanical keyboard
Cons
- Steep starting price (and sky-high test configuration)
- Slim (but not especially light) design doesn't add to practical portability
- Fairly loud and hot under load
Bottom Line
The latest muscle components boost Alienware's already formidable x17, but the second-gen rev of this costly gaming laptop doesn't stand out for its power or portability.

Razer Blade 17 Review - What Razer Won't Show You!

Video Summary
I like it a lot and it's built to last a really long time but I just can't wrap my mind around how expensive it is. Now if you've got a lot of money and you want something that's built to last and looks and feels really cool that's also super fast but just not the fastest then I'd say go ahead and get it but if you're looking to get the most bang for your buck this is not the one to get.
