    Just seeing what the our great NotebookReview citizens think of the new alienware 17 laptop?
    In regards to specs, yes they can be changed to fit individual needs, however please just VOTE on the overall look, and all the possible hardware availabilities for this laptop. Thanks!

    It's more like, it's good with extensive modding. Stock seems to be very hit and miss. Read up on @iunlock guides in the sub forum to see the issues.

    I think the design in fantastic. They listened to what people wanted in a lot of regards. The back port placement is a major plus over the last gen... as someone who keeps this plugged in on my desk often, this was a major advantage. The keyboard also seems to be improved from last gen. Even though I know its not a mechanical keyboard, it really does feel like one at times.
