MSI's GT77 Titan, reviewed a few days earlier, retains its own Editors Choice award for the ultimate high-end laptop, with its Core i9 Intel HX CPU (more about which in our testing section). All these factors make it our newest Editors' Choice winner among high-end 17-inch gaming laptops. Alienware's unique sci-fi styling remains, and the m17 R5's surprising battery life belies its weight and bulk.Īn enthusiast laptop through and through, the R5 is actually reasonably priced relative to its competitors, with a starting price and configuration options that give lots of flexibility.

Playing demanding AAA games is a breeze on this big-screen laptop, and while our unit sported a 4K resolution display with a 120Hz peak refresh rate, 1080p players can choose a mind-blowingly fast 480Hz panel instead. Our review unit is an all-AMD model with an eight-core Ryzen 9 6900HX processor and Radeon 6850M XT GPU, which teamed up for some very potent performance numbers. The latest entry in Alienware's M series of full-size high-end gaming laptops, the m17 R5 (starts at $1,599.99 $2,649.99 as tested) pushes the power envelope with an under-the-hood update to the m17 R4.
