alien wares 15 and 17 inch laptops are built like tanks offer well-designed lighting scheme and controls and you can get a reasonably fast configuration for the money they're not necessarily for folks who like to embassy fiddle to eke out the last drop of performance though with no software tools to monitor adjust CPU settings for example L anywhere doesn't make it convenient one of the Alienware 17 only options is the Tobii eye tracking system tobey's system currently works with about 90 games not a huge number given the breadth and variety of games that exist it consists of two sensors blode screen and software controls in theory it should feel more natural than other forms of game navigation but I find my eyes wander too much as I discovered when I enabled the gaze trace feature the system also works in conjunction with power management to for instance wake when you gaze at the alien head the two series have basically the same designs pretty basic boring brown but they have nice lighting design and the softer to program both the chassis and the keyboard works well and speaking of the keyboard it's still reinforced with a decent feel not mechanical but not wholly membrane II that unlike a lot of gaming laptops is also comfortable for typing the display options include a 120 Hertz g-sync better than cheap TN monitor which is fast and it's decent for games with its 92 93 % srgb ganon both have the same set of connections including alien wears dedicated connector firts external GPU a handful of USB ports mini DisplayPort to support to sync out the 17-inch at least has room for a lot more USB connections which would come in handy for VR and fans are allowed on both and they seem like they're always on
