It’s a rather strong hint but it’s somewhat obvious that the design team responsible for the Alienware M17 R2 are Pink Floyd fans on account of how they’ve named the colour schemes available for the notebook. This new design language, appropriately dubbed by Alienware as the Legend industrial design, has resulted in a chassis that is just 19.5mm thin, making it one of the slimmest gaming notebooks of its size currently on the market. Alienware M17 R2 Price, Battery Life and Conclusion.Needless to say, the price tag for any configuration of the Alienware M17 R2 is daunting, even for the entry level configuration, but you’re not paying just for the hardware alone but a whole raft of other beneficial features which we’ll delve into shortly. Our maxed out variant comes with a beefy Intel Core i9-9980HK octacore processor with the rest of the specifications remain the same for the princely sum of RM15,856. The highest end variant has prices starting from RM12,799 with a similar 17.3-inch FHD display with Tobii Eyetracking tech, a 9th Generation Intel Core i7-9750H CPU, 16GB DDR4 2,666MHz RAM and a 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD. We managed to score the highest end variant with everything maxed out and dialled to eleven. In terms of configuration, the Alienware M17 R2 comes in several variants with the entry level one clocking in at RM10,199 for a 17.3-inch Full HD display with Tobii Eyetracking tech, a 9th Generation Intel Core i7 9750H CPU, 16GB DDR4 2,666MHz RAM, 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD and an overclockable NVIDIA GeForce RTX2060 with 6GB GDDR6 VRAM.Ī midtier model exists that has similar specifications but upguns the GPU to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX2070 with 8GB GDDR6 with Max-Q design for RM800 more for a grand total of RM10,999. First glimpsed at the Dell and Alienware showcase that took place in Taiwan amidst Computex 2019, the Alienware M17 R2 is an interesting design as gaming notebooks go as it forgoes the usual emphasis on either form or function to the exclusion of the other, and instead has a wonderful balance of both to create what is arguably one of the best looking (and powerful) gaming rigs that we’ve ever laid eyes on in aeons.
