Reviews for the Alienware m17 R2, i7-9750H, RTX 2080 Max-Q

80% Alienware m17 Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
The Alienware m17 has loads of advantages – it looks the part, it’s got great build quality, and it has huge power for gaming and for productivity. The keyboard is excellent, and the screen is decent. It’s not always the best option when it comes to large gaming laptops though, as rivals have better screens and lower prices.
