Ports: 3x USB-A 3.1, USB-C with Thunderbolt 3, HDMI, MiniDisplayPort, MicroSD, ethernet Here is the Alienware M17 R3 (2020) configuration sent to TechRadar for review:ĬPU: 2.4GHz Intel Core i9-10980HK (eight cores, 16MB cache, up to 5.3GHz Turbo) Alienware m17 R3 at Walmart for $2,699.99.Add it all up and the revised Alienware M17 R is really just an improved display and maybe a few more hours of battery life away from greatness. All very impressive, bar battery life which is even worse than we expected, but no less than you’d hope for given the price. That would be a better fit with the real-world performance from today’s mobile graphics chips.Įlsewhere, you get a fast 512GB M.2 SSD, 32GB of RAM (note that the memory is soldered and not upgradable) and Intel’s top eight-core mobile CPU. But we’d prefer to see a 1440p (2,560 by 1,440 pixels) option. There is a much brighter (on paper) 4K option. But it is a weak point and disappointing given the price. Brightness, contrast, colors they’re all a little disappointing. Unfortunately, while the screen is fast, it’s not terribly impressive in other regards. But this laptop will absolutely excel in esports games like CS: Go. OK, you’re not going to hit 300fps in the latest and most graphically demanding titles, as our benchmarks demonstrate. Specifically, that means a 1080p display with an epic 300Hz refresh rate.

Anywho, the graphics performance is a great match for the M17 as specified here.
