Alienware M17 R4 review 2021

[killamch89]

This an Intel based gaming laptop with an I7 or I9 processor paired with a RTX 3070 GPU. it also comes with the option of a Full HD display or 4K. What are you thoughts about this machine?

Design wise it looks super crappy. I mean I have seen MSI, ASUS having bad hinge design but this one is even worst for gamers. I think Acer Predator series has pretty good design on that part. But yeah lets see where this competition takes them.

I agree - it does look like a Star Trek ship and it's overpriced. Most other competitors have far better designed laptops and is just as amazing in terms of features.

Yeah considering they are kind of not yet learning from that design fails. It would take them few years and iteration to get the things back on track.

I think Alienware has lost its design and stylish products. I think we can go with iMac rather than checking this out.

Well the IMAC isn't a gaming laptop and is nowhere as powerful but I do agree that their designs have become dated and their products lack originality.

iMacs are desktops. Macbook pro are laptops. And macbook is not meant for the gaming. Those are too much premium devices which stay for decade of development and the creative use but it's definitely not for gaming.
