I have purchased an Alienware 17 machine past July and I really like to upgrade its screen to the 120Hz 3D screen. The problem starts here in Greece with the inavailability from Dell distributor, to help me. They state that they do not have the parts. Can anyone point me to the right direction? Where can I buy the screen and cable? Do I need to replace anything else so as for the 3D screen to work?

Generational refresh. After only a year with the older Alienware m17 R2, R3, and R4 design, Dell is ready to hit the reset button with the Alienware x17 R1. Does the full-on makeover address all the issues we had with the previous generation model?

The 17.3-inch Alienware laptop series has had an avalanche of changes these past few years. Dell introduced a brand new Alienware m17 R1 chassis in 2019 only to replace it with a fully redesigned m17 R2 chassis just a year later in 2020. For 2021, the manufacturer has introduced yet another full chassis redesign to replace the m17 series altogether called the Alienware x17.

Our test unit is a higher-end configuration equipped with the Core i7-11800H CPU, GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, 120 Hz 4K UHD display, CherryMX mechanical keys, and 32 GB of RAM for approximately $3200 USD. Lesser and higher options are available with the RTX 3060 or Core i9-11980HK, respectively. Perhaps the most important feature of the new chassis is its redesigned cooling solution that includes more fans than before and a new gallium-silicone-based thermal paste over the CPU. A 15.6-inch version is also available called the Alienware x15 R1.

Competitors to the Alienware x17 R1 include other ultra-thin 17.3-inch gaming laptops like the MSI GS76, Razer Blade 17, Asus ROG Zephyrus S17, and the Tongfang-based Maingear Vector Pro.

The lid flexes more than the lid on the Blade 17 but not as much as on the MSI GS75. It also has some of the thickest bezels along the bottom edge for any 17.3-inch gaming laptop we"ve seen which are partly responsible for the extra-large footprint.

Alienware laptops aren"t afraid to be big and the x17 R1 is still a big system regardless of how "thin" Dell likes to market the model. The truth is that the system is noticeably bigger and heavier than most competing models like the MSI GS76, Blade 17, or Zephyrus S17. Even the older Alienware m17 R4 is lighter than the x17 R1 by about 200 grams despite their nearly identical volumes. The added weight contributes to a stronger and stiffer base, however.

Port options are mostly the same as on last year"s Alienware m17 R4 but with a few important changes. The rarely used proprietary Graphics Amplifier port, for example, has been dropped in favor of a more handy second USB-C port. There is also one less USB-A port to work with this time around. Otherwise, all other ports have returned albeit rearranged along the rear of the chassis to be generally harder to reach and see than on most other laptops.

The Wi-Fi 6E-enabled Killer AX1675x module comes soldered much like how it was on the last generation m17 design. Interestingly, the WLAN module is removable on the Alienware x15 even though it"s a smaller 15.6-inch form factor.

The bottom panel pops off easily with just a Philips screwdriver and sharp edge. RAM is now expandable via 2x SODIMM slots whereas they are soldered on the older m17 R2 design.

Introducedon last year"s Alienware m17 R4, the ultra-low profile CherryMX mechanical keys have returned on the x17 R1 as an optional feature. We were initially hesitant about the keys since mechanical or optical switches have been mostly misses on laptops like the MSI GT80 Titan, 2019 Razer Blade 15, or Lenovo Legion Y920. These new CherryMX keys, however, are quickly becoming our favorite on any gaming laptop. Feedback is uniform, crisper, and with both deeper travel and a more satisfying click when compared to laptops like the Razer Blade 17 or MSI GS76. The per-key RGB keys work well for both word processing and gaming albeit at the cost of loud high-pitched clatter that roommates or classmates may not appreciate. In these scenarios, we recommend opting for the SKUs with traditional membrane-based switches instead.

Dell offers an RGB backlight for the clickpad on certain SKUs which is a returning superficial option from older Alienware laptops. This feature is not available on the smaller 15.6-inch Alienware x15 R1.

While the AU Optronics B173ZAN panel can be found on other laptops like the Schenker XMG Ultra 17, the one on our Alienware has a native refresh rate of 120 Hz instead of 60 Hz. Furthermore, black-white and gray-gray response times are very fast in the one-digit ranges and maximum brightness is also noticeably brighter than on most other gaming laptops. The MSI GS76 carries a similar 4K panel with even faster response times than our Alienware albeit at the cost of a narrower gamut. This makes the Alienware display one of the very few we"ve seen that seemingly checks all the boxes in regards to refresh rate, resolution, response times, color coverage, and brightness.

The matte overlay is slightly grainier than a glossy alternative and backlight bleeding could have been better on our specific unit. Our measurements below reflect only the 4K 120 Hz panel and not any of the other display options available for the Alienware x17 which are expected to have different attributes.

Color space encompasses all of sRGB and AdobeRGB as advertised by the manufacturer while DCI-P3 coverage is approximately 88 percent. The deep colors, fast response times, and fast refresh rate all make this 4K panel suitable for both gaming and graphics editing.

ℹDisplay response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.↔ Response Time Black to White

Outdoor visibility is slightly better than on many other 17.3-inch gaming laptops since the 400-nit matte display is brighter than the typical 300-nit target. The heavy weight and size are difficult to ignore, however, and so you"ll likely want to work on a flat desk regardless of the environment.

Our system was set to High Performance mode via the Alienware Command Center software prior to running our benchmarks below for the highest possible scores. We recommend users become familiar with this software as all lighting and performance features are found here. Additionally, users can set the system to Optimus or discrete GPU mode via the BIOS.

CPU performance is outstanding with CineBench xT scores that are up to 20 percent faster than the average laptop in our database with the same Core i7-11800H CPU. In fact, the Alienware x17 is one of the fastest laptops you can get in the market with this specific processor. The faster-than-expected performance of our system actually puts it slightly ahead of the Ryzen 9 5900HX or Core i9-11900K in multi-threaded loads even though the i7-11800H is generally behind on most other laptops.

The high CPU performance of the Alienware can be attributed to the very high PL1 and PL2 targets of 165 W each (with a real-world sustainability of 98 W to 108 W) compared to 65 W and 90 W, respectively, on other laptops like the Razer Blade 17. The system is also excellent at maintaining high Turbo Boost clock rates over extended periods as shown by our CineBench R15 xT loop test below. Such lofty performance results don"t come free, however, as our Stress Test and Power Consumption sections below will show.

Despite the 165 W RTX 3080 graphics, raw performance is only 2 to 9 percent faster than the average RTX 3080 laptop in our database likely due to diminishing returns at higher TGP targets. The minor advantage can also be seen when running games as frame rates are again only a few percentage points higher on average. However, the performance difference becomes more pronounced when compared to the 90 W RTX 3080 in the MSI GS76 where our Alienware can be roughly 15 to 30 percent faster in certain titles. A desktop PC with RTX 3080 graphics will still outperform any RTX 3080 laptop by about 40 to 45 percent.

Idling on Witcher 3 for over an hour shows stable frame rates with no random drops to suggest no interrupting background activity when gaming in contrast to what we observed on some older Alienware m15 models.

Fan noise is highly dependent on the Alienware Command Center settings (Quiet, Performance, and Full Speed). Despite having two times more fans than on most other gaming laptops, the Alienware x17 is generally very quiet during low loads like browsing or video streaming even when set to Performance mode. We"re able to record a fan noise of just 31.3 dB(A) against a background of 24.9 dB(A) when running 3DMark 06 for 90 seconds. Any longer, however, and fan noise would eventually rise to 43.8 dB(A) which is similar to what we"ve recorded on other gaming laptops.

Running Witcher 3 on Performance mode would result in a steady fan noise of 49.7 dB(A). Interestingly, this level would remain the same even when on Balanced mode and so gamers should set the system to Performance mode whenever possible. Setting the fans to Full Speed mode will increase fan noise to as high as 55 dB(A) no matter the onscreen load. The Alienware x17 is generally quieter than the Gigabyte Aero 17 or last generation m17 R4 during low loads, but they almost about the same once higher loads are introduced.

Overall temperatures are actually cooler than what we observed on the Asus Zephyrus S17 likely due to the thicker and larger size of our Alienware chassis.

Running Witcher 3 on High Performance mode causes the CPU and GPU to stabilize at 3.5 GHz and 1785 MHz, respectively, with a steady GPU board power draw of around 145 W. If on Balanced mode, CPU clock rates would drop to just 2.5 GHz while GPU clock rates may dip slightly to 1680 MHz and a power draw of ~135 W. If you"re gaming and want the most of your laptop, then be sure to enable High performance mode via the Alienware software. GPU clock rates are faster than expected either way when compared to most other laptops with the same GPU like the Maingear Vector Pro.

Power consumption when gaming remains higher than usual much like what we discovered on the m17 series. Running Witcher 3 would consume an average of 249 W compared to only 195 W or 156 W on the Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 or MSI GS76, respectively. The higher CPU TDP and GPU TGP targets of the Alienware system are likely responsible for its higher power demands.

The most compelling features of the Alienware x17 are its processor performance and CherryMX mechanical keys. The Core i7-11800H CPU here runs noticeably faster than on other laptops equipped with the exact same chip while the clicky mechanical keys are some of the most comfortable we"ve used on any gaming laptop.Dell"s Alienware x17 isn"t afraid to maximize performance even if it means being slightly bigger and heavier than the rest.

All that performance comes at the cost of core temperature, power consumption, size, and weight as alternative models like the Razer Blade 17, MSI GS76 Stealth, or Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 are all smaller, lighter, and more power efficient while offering similar Intel and Nvidia options. These systems tend to run a bit slower, however, and so it"ll be up to users to balance performance with their personal portability preferences. If you"re content with RTX 3060-level performance, then the lighter Razer or MSI may be the better option while RTX 3080 performance hunters can squeeze out much more from the Alienware x17 and its comparatively larger cooling system.

Different configurations of the Alienware x17 R1 are now available at Best Buy and Neweggstarting at $2399 USD at the time of writing. Alternatively, users can order directly from Dell who will naturally have more SKUs and options.

Called simply Alienware 14, Alienware 17, and Alienware 18, veteran Alienware-toting gamers will recognize the design language instantly. Dell is essentially refreshing the 14-inch, 17-inch, and 18-inch Alienware laptops with a critical eye on refinement and durability.

While manufacturers like Razer and Gigabyte are slimming down their hardware, Alienware is content to keep the chassis beefy at 1.6-inches up to 2.2-inches depending on the model. Alienware"s Chris Leonard says the team wanted to build it like a "structure protecting the technology inside." Based on my experience with the rugged M17x R4, I"m perfectly OK with this approach, though your mileage may vary.

It"s tough to jump to conclusions based on a PDF of tech specs, but here they are to give you an idea of what these upcoming Alienware systems will be packing. (Remember, these are major specs only and don"t represent the full picture -- there simply isn"t enough space!)

Remember to watch this space for an exhaustive preview of these systems from my hands-on demo, as well as a conversation with the Alienware team at E3 2013.

Alienware is an American computer hardware subsidiary of Dell. Their product range is dedicated to gaming computers which can be identified by their alien-themed designs.corporate headquarters is located in The Hammocks, Miami, Florida.

Established in 1996 as Saikai of Miami, Inc. by Nelson Gonzalez and Alex Aguila, two childhood friends, Alienware assembles desktops, notebooks, workstations, and PC gaming consoles.Area-51, Hangar 18, and Aurora.

Initially, Dell maintained its competing XPS line of gaming PCs, often selling computers with similar specifications, which may have hurt Alienware"s market share within its market segment.

Alienware announced that it would be releasing a series of video game consoles starting in 2014, aiming to compete with the Sony PlayStation, Nintendo Wii U, and the Microsoft Xbox.Windows 8.1.eighth generation of video game consoles. At E3 2016, Alienware announced the second rendition of the Alpha, the Alpha R2. The R2 adds 6th generation Intel processors, a choice of either the AMD Radeon R9 M470X or Nvidia GeForce 960 graphics cards, and support for Alienware"s proprietary Graphics Amplifier. It also ships with Windows 10.
