To test the battery life we put the machine through two real world situations. Firstly we tested the machine while browsing the internet with WLAN enabled (General). Secondly we tested the machine while gaming with SLI and full brightness active.
The battery life under general duties is quite impressive for a gaming laptop, although this is significantly reduced when you do try and game on in it.

We seem to be in a renaissance of sorts when it comes to video games being adapted into other media. Following the likes of HBO’s The Last of Us, Peacock’s Twisted Metal and the Gran Turismo film, Amazon Prime’s Fallout TV show has released to a wave of praise. It therefore comes as no surprise that a second season has now been officially confirmed.

ASUS do some great gaminmg machines too, and they cost a lot less than Alienware, but at least Alienware put a lot of effort into the looks as well, which is important.
Great machine, I own one, been using it now for gaming for a month. runs a bit hot on my knee, so I use it more on a desk.
The problem with Alienware laptops, of which I have had many, is the hinges wear out so soon. If anything needs replacing it is absurd at costs.
