Like the Alienware 18, the Alienware 17 is supplied in a fairly substantial box featuring a black livery and a large Alienware logo in the center. This includes a large amount of internal padding to ensure that the laptop arrives in perfect condition. This box is covered in a more subtle brown cardboard sleeve for shipping, increasing protection.
There isn't a particularly generous bundle included with the laptop. All we find in the box alongside the laptop are the power supply and a pouch containing ` driver / software CDs and manuals.
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.
