80% Alienware 17 R5 Review

Let the games begin! Or the multitasking, or the video editing or the coding -- heck, anything you want to do, the Alienware 17 can handle with aplomb. For $3,974, you get a system that doles out ridiculous frame rates, a beautiful display, awesome audio system and Tobii Eye tracking. The laptop's also not too shabby on the multitasking front, thanks to its overclockable 8th Gen Intel processor, which you should definitely overclock, because the app is supereasy to use.

Alienware 17 R5 review – ultimate mobile gaming rig
Source: Laptop Media English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Alienware 17 R5 lived up to our expectations. Performance-wise you can’t get much better. Maybe the AMD Ryzen 7 2700 can beat the Core i9-8950HK in some benchmarks but real-world performance shouldn’t be any different. And as far as GPU performance goes, the GTX 1080 is the best on the market for now. We are waiting for NVIDIA’s new GPUs which should release soon judging by all the rumors.

Source: PC World English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Alienware 17 R5 is a slickly designed gaming laptop that leverages Intel's first Core i9 mobile chip and an overclocked GeForce GTX 1080 to deliver desktop-class power. It's heavy and expensive though.

这个大尺寸屏幕常见于以桌面使用为主的笔记本电脑。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
