80% Alienware m17 Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English Archive.org version
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.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
