Alienware - x17 R1 17.3" FHD Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 - 1TB Solid State Drive - White, Lunar Light

Best laptop I've owned in years. I've had everything from MSI to ASUS and Sager. This thing stays cool and hardly ever blue screens even if two years and I tend to mess around this stuff way too much. It's sleek, extremely well built. The only thing I can complain about is the Dell integration software with Alienware which is not very good. The screen is 360 Hz which is more than enough and looks pretty good. You can always calibrate it to further its looks but I find no need even with video editing and photo editing. One thing that stands out with this laptop is it hardly ever needs to be cleaned. After not cleaning it after you're I opened it up and noticed that there was hardly any dust. You can use a vacuum with light bristles on the top where the keyboard lays that's the only place you're going to find dust in between the foam layer underneath the keyboard. This thing is a beast.

I’m in love with this Laptop!!! I’ve had it for about 3 years now and It’s perfect for all my gaming needs. I would recommend this computer to my friends!!!

I originally bought the x17 from dell directly but it had some issues and I sent it back. I bought it again from best buy and it's been perfect, couldn't be happier. This is my new daily driver going forward. Thermals are finally well managed, in heavy gaming cpu temperatures tend to stay in the high 70s to low 80s celsius with gpu temps being the same or lower than cpu temps. Performance is excellent at 1080p, you can play any game you throw at this with max graphics. The laptop did come with the slower high density RAM but that wasn't an issue for me as I had my on RAM kit ready to swap in. The included SSD is a gen 3 from SK Hynix and it is fast but I swapped in my own SSDs. Build quality is great and quality control is also great. I haven't had any issues so far and I don't expect any. The keyboard experience is pretty decent but not as good as the M15 R2-R6. However the X17 is just much better than those laptops overall. If you're buying this for work, you can always use an external display for multi tasking as a 1080p display isn't great for multi tasking. The built in display is very nice though, color accurate, very repsonsive with no ghosting. If you're on the market for a well rounded gaming laptop for work or just gaming this is definitely a solid option and I recommend it.

Honestly I couldn't be happier. Yes it's expensive but you get what you pay for. Currently running 3 additional monitors (1 @ 360hz, and 2 @ 240hz). Planning to add a 4th down the road but I could probably go 6 easily if I wanted. I don't use this for gaming, I use it for trading and it has exceeded my expectations so far. Gaming, when I have time, is spent on my Xbox Series X or PS4 PRO. Coming from an MSI GF 65 Thin, this laptop is QUIET!!! Even during a stress test, it was not that loud. Extremely impressed.

This laptop performs very well. I bought it specifically for Modern Warfare and Warzone. It handles those games no problem. I also use it for a few work items, but mostly just for gaming. I have had it for about 8 months and the only problem I've had with it so far is recently the power port where the charging cable plugs in just made a cracking sound when I plugged it in and now the port is loose. If I understand correctly, my laptop should still be under the manufacturer warranty, so the repair should be free. I'm calling today to set up an appointment, and I will keep you posted.

Best decision I have made on a gaming laptop after numerous video watching reviews on my options. I came from the Razer 14 new laptop with 3070 which I returned because it did not have thunderbolt or mini DP and just had hdmi which didn’t maximize my qhd 240hz monitor. Right from the jump I fell in love with the chasis and sturdy/tankiness making me feel as if I need ro really mess up in order to break this thing. I love optimus on my laptop. I am able to play New world on very high settings (max) at 78fps on qhd 32 inch monitor. On high settings it jumps to 89fps. Back for blood is maxed out with over 100fps. Keep in mind new world is a high demanding game (YouTube it). Gpu stays 73*C while playing for 4 hrs today. I recommend this laptop if you are looking for a high performance rig on the go (I travel a lot so I needed a laptop and not a super tower), and if your like me who while at home will play on monitor, the fhd won’t matter. I will say it looks like 2k when playing on internal screen since the size of the screen is only 17”. I was able to use my Razer chroma stand that I bought with the Razer and it holds really good. It’s a kaolin material/stand. Porta are in the back to make the setup clean which I don’t mind. Some people may want the option to have the ports on the side but for me, they are perfect. Plus the Razer chroma dock stand is on the back too so that was a win win aesthetically.

It took me a long time to compare x17 and other 17’ gaming laptop. Finally pick up it because I believe the new designed cooling equipment(4 fans) will give me a quiet working environment. It does. However the killer WiFi driver had brought me a lot of trouble, if I don’t have a physical network cable connect x17 to router, it’s hard to update all of relevant patches and drivers.

This is my second alienware laptop, for the price im very happy with it. The four fans really cool it nice, the screen is dope and the sleek design reminds why i always go back to alienware. Battery life doesn't matter to me because there is a wall outlet everywhere i go, and its not like i go to the park and game. Its not that heavy, and if you think it is maybe you should hit the gym. Only complain is that i wish the power cable was in the back so it wouldn't bother me whenever i move it and maybe that i had more money to get the 3080 ti version lol.
