This 17" laptop combines powerful performance and incredible graphics into a revolutionary new design — perfect for immersive gaming.

 

Cutting-edge design

The durable anodized aluminum shell, reinforced by a magnesium-alloy frame, protects your LCD and the internal components. Angled front and side walls give the Alienware 17 an elite and stealth look. And it’s designed for maximum performance, with a rear GPU/CPU exhaust vent to manage heat generated inside the system.

Unleash the power

Alienware 17 is powerful inside and out — it’s packed with new technology for maximum performance. With 4th Generation Intel Core and optional overclocked processors, you get the speed, power and performance you need to lead in everything you do. And the 8-cell battery means you can cram more action into a single charge.

 

Perform at your peak

Get the competitive edge with optional NVIDIA GeForce graphics memory. Turn on lightning-fast FXAA antialiasing for the ultimate combination of image quality and performance. NVIDIA Adaptive Vertical Sync prevents image tearing, and NVIDIA PhysX brings your games to life with dynamic, interactive environments.

Pump up your audio experience

Get the power and nuance of cinema sound straight from your laptop. The speakers are certified by sound engineers from Klipsch and the system comes preloaded with Dolby Home Theater v4 software for extraordinary audio and an easy interface — whether you’re gaming or enjoying other media.

 

Take your view to the next level

Dominate your opponents with an 17.3" antiglare Full HD (1080p) display for immersive gaming. And think bigger — plug in to a 3D TV or a Full HD monitor and get thrown right into the action. Alienware 17 is as versatile as it is powerful, so you can achieve victory on your own terms.

Connect and conquer

A built-in Killer Gigabit Ethernet NIC identifies and prioritizes your network traffic so that latency-sensitive streams that require maximum speed, like games or video chat, are prioritized over less-important traffic. See which applications are hogging your bandwidth and limit them using Visual Bandwidth Control so they don’t interfere with your games. Or go wireless with a Broadcom 5G WiFi adapter for faster speeds, better range and improved battery life.
