86.2% Alienware 18 Area-51 笔记本电脑评测:性能至上 | Notebookcheck
重新设计的 Alienware 18 证明,不一定要最薄、最轻才性感。更厚的机身不仅能带来更高的性能,还能提供其他大多数游戏笔记本电脑所不具备的功能,包括 CherryMX 按键、多个 PCIe5 SSD 插槽以及更安静的游戏体验。

I replaced my work PC with this Dell laptop, and it was one of my best decisions

Be prepared to shell out the big bucks for the Alienware 18 Area-51. Prices start at $3,200 for the base model. My review unit retails for $4,450, although I have seen discounts on it. If you're looking for a lighter option, I suggest checking out the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i. It houses similar hardware and weighs just 5.67 pounds. The MSI Raider 18 HX is another solid option that comes with a 4K display.
