The Alienware 17 is one of the best gaming laptops in the world according to Andrew Williams of PCAdvisor in the UK. This is a huge beast of a machine, with a terrific screen, awesome sound and a price and performance to match.

Pricing goes all the way up to £1650 ( at the time of writing) which means your going to go straight past the $2000 mark in the USA. With the ‘Graphics Amplifier” costing in excess of £250 in the UK, this gaming rig is going to make a huge hole in your wallet.

There is absolutely no doubt that this large notebook will eat any game currently out there and for the foreseeable future but is it worth the extra weight and sheer size compared to some of the excellent 15″ gaming machines out there? Read on…

ByAndrew Williams. If the latest Alienware 17 laptop was a video game character, it’d make the ground shake when it walks. It’d have a million hit points and a weapon so powerful it threatens to unbalance the whole game. But its dialogue would also be incomprehensible to the casual gamer.

This is an almost-perfect laptop for the hardcore crowd. Masses of power, great heat management, a high-quality display and clever ways to turn into a desktop gaming rig make this one of the best gaming laptops in the world.

However, to some the price, weight, bulk and short battery life will push the Alienware 17 to the bottom of their shortlist, below some of the excellent 15-inch gaming laptops we’ve reviewed.
