The 4K display isn't only sharp, but bright and colorful. Dell advertises the panel as reproducing 100 percent of the sRGB color gamut and achieving a strong 400 nits of brightness. 

However, users who prefer high-refresh rate gaming to high resolution and vibrant color will want to look elsewhere. The panel operates at 60 Hz, which is typical for 4K, but much less than the 144 Hz and quicker displays on some other laptops (or configs of the Alienware m17).

The other potential drawback is that the laptop only comes with 512GB of storage. But the Alienware m17 is easily upgradeable and has room for a SATA drive that you can add after buying it.

Since this is a 17-inch laptop, you'd expect it to be heavy, but considering the size, it's actually a quite portable 5.8 pounds. As with other Alienware laptops, it uses the highly-functional Alienware Command software that lets you have fine grain control over the RGB lighting in its keyboard and the Alienware logo on its lid.
