Dell Alienware 17 R3 review - high-performance gaming laptop

ultrabookreview.com

The Alienware 17 R3 is a powerhouse for gamers, offering impressive speed, quiet operation, and a stunning 17-inch screen with excellent build quality and keyboard. However, its high price and significant weight are downsides, along with a somewhat underwhelming trackpad. Overall, it's a top pick for those who prioritize performance and can handle its bulk and cost.

Alienware 17 R3 Notebook Review - NotebookCheck.net Reviews

notebookcheck.net

The Alienware 17 R3 impresses with its robust build, stylish design, and extensive battery life, making it a standout in the gaming notebook arena. It packs a punch with high-end components like the Skylake processor, DDR4 RAM, and GeForce GTX 980M, delivering excellent performance and a bright IPS display. However, users might find the hefty 3.7 kg weight cumbersome, and the chassis is prone to slipping. Additionally, the notebook could benefit from more RAM slots and better grip on its feet. Despite these drawbacks, the R3 is a well-rounded powerhouse for gamers and tech enthusiasts.

Alienware 17 R3 (2016) - Full Review and Benchmarks | Laptop Mag

The Alienware 17 R3 impresses with its stunning 4K display and innovative optional Graphics Amplifier, setting a high bar for gaming laptops. Despite its hefty price, it offers excellent battery life and a plethora of ports, including Thunderbolt 3. However, it struggles with heat management during intense gaming sessions, and the audio quality leaves room for improvement. While it can't match the raw power of competitors' desktop-grade GPUs without the amp, this laptop remains a strong contender for gamers seeking both performance and future-proofing.
