IM BUYING A NEW A GAMING LAPTOP, IS THE ALIENWARE 17 R3 WOTH IT ?
I've got a 15'' it's basically the same.
They have the best support I've ever been in contact with.
They came home to me the day after the problem occurred. Fixed it.
The thing that annoys me the most is the black bars next to the monitor. Like between the display and the edge is a big "black" zone.
Keyboard backlight is zones, not keys, so it honestly doesnt look that great.
The battery acts as a UPS. THOUGH!! Performence WILL drop alot while on battery.
Easily overclockable (If you chose the right part) Mine is running stable 3.9Ghz overclock. (6820hk) + 980m
excluding the HDD it is 100% silent under low load (browsing etc) and its not very loud while having headset on.
It lacks USB ports (Atleast mine does) And only has HDMI, not display port. It will limit you if you have a cheaper 144hz panel.
None the less. I love my laptop, and I am 95% satisfied that I moved away from a big clumsy pc. Just the conviencience of having youtube in the kitchen without having to hold a phone, and skype in bed without having to hold the damn thing. It's quite wonderful like that. I dont like headsets on when I lay in my bed.
You get a keyboard, mouse, mic, speakers, mouse, and display, wifi, all in one, without having to buy special parts. Less decisions to make.
Being able to keep all your files wherever you go, without having to rely on the internet is amazing.
It really does have a good battery, as long as you dont use the graphics card. I think I lasted around 13 hours or something just on battery once about a week ago.
TBH. Its a laptop. Its not a fatpc. You will have to deal with peoples hate ^^..
The only other laptops that were of interest for me while ordering mine, was the MSI and Razer, but as Razers one isnt sold in my country that was excluded, and I've never used the MSI so I dont really know how it actually is using it.
