Reviews for the Alienware m17 R5, 6900HX RX 6850M XT

92% Alienware m17 R5 review: sleek, powerful gaming laptop is a creative keeper
Source: Creative Bloq English EN→zh-CN
If you're looking for a gaming laptop that can more than happily handle demanding creative software and AAA games alike, with distinctive styling and great build quality, but can't quite stretch to the flagship gaming/creative monsters, spending around £2,000/$2,000 on the best-specced Alienware m17 R5 might make a very good investment. Do keep in mind that it's heavy and bulky, so if you're trotting around a lot at work, it might not be for you, but that big, sharp, gorgeous screen more than makes up for it for me.

80% Alienware M17 R5 AMD review: a powerful gaming laptop at a decent price
Source: T3 English EN→zh-CN
The Alienware M17 R5 AMD is a powerful gaming laptop at a decent price. It doesn’t deliver quite the graphics punch of its Intel and Nvidia-equipped cousins, but it’s fast enough to run modern games at high resolution. So, it’s a good pick to save some money and still be the envy of the gaming crowd – as long as you aren’t playing one of the games that glitch out on it.

100% Alienware m17 R5 AMD Advantage review
Source: Techradar English EN→zh-CN
Whether we should give the credit to Alienware or AMD isn’t super-clear in the Alienware m17 R5 AMD Advantage; the former has done an incredible job with design and thermals, while the latter has created a performance package that doesn’t skip a beat. This is a prime laptop for gamers: if you have the money, you need it.

Alienware M17 R5 Review - AMD All the Way
Source: Mobile Tech Review English
The Alienware M17 R5 is Alienware’s AMD-flavored 17” 2022 gaming laptop with a significantly lower price tag than their Intel-based X17 R2. As ever, there’s plenty of configurable lighting, and optional CherryMX Ultra mechanical keyboard, a healthy selection of ports and your choice of a variety of high refresh rate full HD displays or a wide gamut 4K 120Hz display. It’s available with AMD Ryzen 7 6800H and Ryzen 9 6900HX processors.

100% Alienware m17 R5 AMD Advantage review: A class act for gamers and creatives
Source: Expert Reviews English EN→zh-CN
The Alienware m17 R5 is a very nicely balanced machine. The optional 4K display offers superb image quality, gaming performance is good, especially at 1080p, and the build quality and styling are absolutely top drawer. Even the battery life is rather impressive. Factor in the rather reasonable price and this burly AMD-powered package shoves many contenders forcefully out of the ring.

Alienware m17 R5 Review: AMD Advantage Gaming Laptop Shines
Source: Hot Hardware English EN→zh-CN
So, who should buy this system? We wouldn't recommend the m17 (or any 17" laptop) to folks who are constantly on the go, like students or executive types, but that's really not what the system is meant for anyway. If you're the kind of person who wants "gaming desktop" performance, that's portable, and can't stand having a big box with wires going everywhere, this is the machine for you. It's every bit as fast as a high-midrange gaming desktop, and the price includes an excellent display, too. If you're considering a gaming notebook with a 17" form factor, the Alienware m17 R5 may be for you.

80% Alienware m17 R5 Review
Source: PC Mag English EN→zh-CN
The Alienware m17 R5 doesn't exactly reinvent the R4, but more advanced features and higher performance are what you want from an iterative release. With the x15 and x17 representing slimmer choices among Alienware's offerings, the m17 has room to breathe as the brand's largest and most potent option. It delivers in spades and even adds impressive battery life. Some top-dollar competitors may be faster in certain areas, but the R5 succeeds as a gaming-first machine with sky-high frame rates and plenty of configuration options. Our unit's 175-watt GPU proves its worth if you're a frame-rate-first shopper. It's undeniably pricey, but not more so than its rivals, and the starting price is closer to the midrange. While the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 and Origin EVO17-S are more-than-worthy competitors, the configuration options, style, and raw power of the Alienware m17 R5 earn it an Editors' Choice award for a big high-end gaming laptop that enthusiasts may actually buy, while the MSI GT77 retains its Editors' Choice, too, earned a few days ago, for the ultimate price-regardless dream machine.

100% Alienware m17 R5 (AMD Advantage): Meet the king of AMD gaming laptops
Source: Laptop Mag English EN→zh-CN
Andre 3000 and Big Boi, Salt n’ Pepa and Eric B & Rakim. Now you can add AMD and Alienware to the list of iconic duos. The collaboration has lived up to the hype and did just what they set out to do, create the most powerful 17-inch AMD gaming laptop in the Alienware m15 R5. Both the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX and Radeon RX 6850M XT GPU deliver big numbers on performance, enough to give their Intel and Nvidia-powered competitors a run for their money more often than not. And that’s with no small help from the AMD Advantage software suite designed to squeeze every bit of performance out of the system no matter the situation. The lovely 4K display, powerful speakers, ultra-low profile Cherry MX are the literal cherry on top. Oh and with that Legend 2.0 design, it’s just a stunner of a system. However, for $2,799, I definitely want a 1080p webcam and for the system to be a bit more dominant with that performance. I want to win all the time, not 80% of the exchange.

这个大尺寸屏幕常见于以桌面使用为主的笔记本电脑。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。

3.3 kg: 通常来说,17寸笔记本电脑的重量与此相当。这对于15寸笔记本电脑来说有些过于沉重,不过对于以桌面使用方法为设计方向的设备也可以接受。
