Best Gaming Laptop

                                                     Alienware 17 (2015)


Alienware 17 for something other than gaming (looking up walkthroughs or watching/recording a Twitch stream), it's nice to know that the laptop's processor is ready for anything. The 2.5-GHz Intel Core i7-4710HQ CPU with 16GB of RAM.The Alienware 17's 256GB SSD and 1TB 7,200-rpm hard drive delivered a speed of 149.7 MBps when duplicating 5GB of multimedia files. That's fine for a mainstream laptop or ultraportable, but it's slower than the 313.7 MBps average. The G751JY (256GB SSD with a 1TB 7,200-rpm hard drive) and the Dominator Pro (Four 128GB SSDs in RAID 0 with a 1TB 7,200-rpm hard drive) hit 383.3 MBps and 636.2 MBps.

Graphic Amplifier

Two is always better than one, especially when it comes to GPUs. Similar to the Alienware 13 and 15, the new Alienware 17 can be used with the company's 7.7 pound, 16.1 x 6.8 x 7.3-inch graphical amplifier. This powerful but pricey peripheral bypasses the Alienware 17's Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M GPU in favor of a desktop GPU. The amp I tested had an Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 GPU with 4GB of VRAM for a noticeable boost of power. However, Alienware offers several GPU options that add a measure of future-proofing to your laptop.
