Not only did it fill the office, it managed to float up to the top floor to my kitchen thanks to my spiral staircase. The 4-way speakers did a great job of filling my downstairs office with loud, relatively clean audio. The Alienware X17’s outfitted with a pair of front-firing speakers, clearly nestled along the bottom lip of the laptop.

When we measured for brightness, the X17 averaged 438 nits, outshining the 330-nit average as well as the Blade Pro (277 nits), Raider (276 nits) and Eon17-X (251 nits). The result also stood head and shoulders over the competition as the Blade Pro, Eon17-X and Raider only managed 83.9%, 78% and 53.9%, respectively. I wasn’t too surprised at the X17’s 116.8% color reproduction on the DCI-P3 color gamut as it was much more vivid than the 86.9% premium gaming laptop average. Infiltrating the library, I took in the plush cherry red carpeting as I grabbed an unsuspecting guard and snapped their neck leaving them sprawled out in an unnatural position. Sneaking through the dark alleys of Updaam, I had time to notice the intricate details of the random junk lining the street like a balding tire lying on a cobblestone street with sprigs of grass peeking through. I played through Deathloop and my oh my, it looked absolutely stunning. Alienware X17 portsĮven though the Alienware X17 is mighty slim, it still has a healthy amount of ports –– all of which are located in the rear of the device. The system also has TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module), a chip that is a secure cryptoprocessor that utilizes a cryptographic key to keep your system safe from all manners of malware and hackers.

The webcam is Windows Hello compatible for face recognition logins. Gaming laptops aren’t really known for their security features, but the Alienware X17 has a couple of measures to keep things safe. Both systems are much lighter and slimmer than the MSI GE76 Raider UH10 (6.4 pounds, 15.6 x 10.6 x 1.1 inches) and Origin Eon17-X (15.7 x 12.5 x 1.7 inches) which weighs a whopping 8.3 pounds. How slim? At 15.7 x 11.8 x 0.8 inches, this 6.7-pound beauty is giving the Razer Blade Pro 17 (6.1 pounds, 15.6 x 10.2 x 0.8 inches) a run for its money. The touchpad also glowed knowingly, bringing back a vaunted favorite.įor a 17-inch desktop replacement packing oodles of power, the X17 is super slim. And while I was expecting the alien head posing as a power button and the Chiclet keys glowing in turquoise, just waiting for me to change their color, I got an unexpected, but welcomed surprise. Not exactly Dark Side of the Moon, but still nice. While I was expecting more Lunar Light when I opened the X17’s lid, I was surprised to see a black keyboard deck.
Take a gander in the back and you find an ovular customizable LED strip outlining the honeycomb-pattern vents which house many ports (more on that later). Following Alienware’s Legend design, you’ll find a backlit alien head centered at the top of the lid with a large 17 embossed in bone white in the lower left corner. However, I would absolutely love to see this in the charcoal Dark Side of the Moon finish. The unique white finish on the magnesium alloy chassis has a slight pearlescence that I just can’t get enough of. The X17 is an intergalactic dream in Alienware’s Lunar Light finish.
