The 17-inch Alienware R3. Make no mistake, it’s the same Skylake / GTX 9xx / DDR4 generation, the difference being maximized screen estate. There is an 18-inch model as well, but Alienware hasn’t updated it yet with the 6th generation Intel Core processors(it offers dual GTX 980M, though). The latter also can’t take advantage of the Alienware Graphics Amplifier, which provides you with the option of enjoying desktop graphics performance when you get home with your Alienware laptop. Unfortunately, asymmetrical SLI is out of the question, but more about this later.
So let’s see what we’ve got here – our unit sports Intel Core i7-6820HK, GeForce GTX 980M with 4GB GDDR5, 12GB DDR4 RAM at 2133MHz and a 17-inch UHD IPS IGZO screen. In other words – one of the fastest mobile CPUs out there, the most powerful mobile GPU, next-generation RAM technology and the best screen possible.
