TOOLS GAMERS NEED
The Alienware 17 has been upgraded to give
gamers the tools they need to be the best.
Killer™ Wireless:
Killer DoubleShot™ Pro provides a wired and wireless networking
setup that prioritizes internet traffic and data streaming to
applications most important to you. Optional Killer 1550 allows
up to 1.73 Gbps max throughput for even more high-speed gaming.
Alienware Graphics Amplifier
support: Enable future-proofing of upgradeable full
length, dual-wide graphics and additional 4-port USB 3.0 hub for
added peripherals. We’ve added a PCIe x4 Gen 3 connection with
dedicated throughput for connectivity that’s superior even to a
Thunderbolt.
Thunderbolt Type-C port:
This multi-use port is ready to be used as a USB 3.1 port,
offering 10Gbps of data transfer, a Thunderbolt connection
capable of 40Gbps, or even a DisplayPort enabling various
monitors supporting the DP protocol.
Longer battery life:
The Alienware 17 contains a 68Whr battery with an optional 99
Whr* lithium-ion battery. We offer the maximum amount of battery
power legally allowed with the 99Whr battery – storing and
delivering more power than any other laptop for longer
uninterrupted gameplay. The new Alienware 17 can support up to 10
hours of battery life, as tested with the 99 Whr battery and an
FHD LCD configuration.*
Solid-state drive:
Load your games faster, get shock and vibration protection,
better speed and capacity, and much more. Solid-state drives make
virtually no noise and have fewer failures because they have no
moving parts. A quieter system means you can better pinpoint
every footstep your enemy makes.
Hear every battle cry:
Due to the upgraded design, a larger and more effective speaker
box has been installed, improving audio output for a clearer and
more dramatic gaming experience.
Clear the desktop and the
board: Avoid excess cables and embrace the “desktop
mode” design, where most of your critical connections and ports
are in the back and out of the way.
