Dell's full-frontal refresh of its popular Alienware 17 series is significantly leaner and more portable. It does, however, sacrifice some features along the way that Alienware purists may miss. We list the major changes here based on our hands-on review of the newer model.

Thanks for the review. I especially appreciate the internal pictures. They are clear and demonstrate the construction and workmanship well.
One thing I would ask, if you are testing the newest unit as a 2080, even a max-q unit, then please test it vs a gtx1080 R5 for better parity.
Wonder how much faster this is than the Razer 15...then again there's a slight chance that it isn't.
