Sporting Intels new 10th Gen H-Series processor and an Nvidia Super GPU, the Alienware m17 R3 is a formidable force in the gaming laptop arena. Not only is the laptop powerful, but its got an intergalactic elegance thats a bonafide headturner. ![]() Plus, you get a downright stunning 4K display thats worth the price of admission. Speaking of rates, something this pretty and powerful doesnt come cheap and the 3,529 (1,549 starting) price is extremely cost prohibitive.

Alienware Laptop M17X R3 Trial Design ContinuesAlienware m17 R3 design Alienwares Legend industrial design continues to impress with its evolved take on an intergalactic battle station. The magnesium alloy, colored in what the company calls Lunar Light, reminds me of the space stations or ships Ive seen throughout the years in some of my favorite sci-fi movies and shows. The large glowing aliens head takes its place near the top center of the lid with a large geometric 17 decal printed on the lower-left corner. At the laptops rear, youll find a black vent that also holds several key ports (more on that later). Image credit: Laptop Mag) On the bottom of the laptop are a pair of raised feet and several large honeycomb-shaped vents designed to disperse hot air. Opening the laptop gets you more of that lovely Lunar Light finish along the palm rest and keyboard deck. The touchpad is located directly beneath the keyboard, which resides in a slight recess. A row of air intake vents rests above the keyboard in the form of small hexagons with a backlit alien head playing the part of the power button. A black bezel surrounds the display with the thicker bottom chin stamped with Alienware in silver lettering. You get two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and a microSD card slot on the right. Theres another USB 3.2 Type-A port on the left with an Ethernet port and a headset jack. The majority of the ports sit in the back where youll find a Thunderbolt 3 port, HDMI 2.0, a mini DisplayPort, the DC jack and a proprietary port for the Alienware Graphics Amplifier in case you want a power boost.
